Willow, 20 weeks

Baby Love, I forgot to tell you about our new addition to the family that you're going to fall in love with!  Her name is Willow, and right now she is a 10 week old Goldendoodle puppy.  Your daddy has always wanted a big, sweet dog that he could take to the river to go fishing with him.  Before we knew you were on the way, we decided back in January that maybe now was a good time to take the plunge and reserve his dream dog.  And then, at the beginning of March, we found out you were on the way!  We brought home Willow on June 5th.  Although it has been a little bit of a struggle being pregnant with you in the summer heat and having a VERY active puppy to raise, we are hoping that she ends up being your best friend.  Blaise, our other dog, is not the most social little dog, so we have our fingers crossed that Willow will be your go to cuddle buddy :).  Here are some pictures of her over the past month.

Welllllllll, who is in there???

Drumroll. . . . . . . . . Yooooou are a . . . . . . . . . . .






GIRL!!!!!!
100% a girl, and we are so so excited! We had our ultrasound with the Stork Vision lady, so we got to see lots of angles/views of your teensy, perfect body. Before this appointment, I decided to drink a glass of orange juice, and it got you moving and bouncing around in my belly! You still had your feet crossed at the ankle, but we definitely saw the three lines that mean you are a girl. We also saw that your second toe is longer than your big toe, we saw the chambers of your heart, your perfect hands and long sweet fingers, your stomach, your cute belly and round little bottom . It was just so surreal, now know that you are a girl. This little tiny being I've been carrying the past 4 1/2 months is going to be our sweet baby girl. And we can't wait. Now, the challenge is going to be compromising on your name :). Daddy has his favorite and I have mine. We will see what we ultimately decide on. Until next time, my Baby Love.
