Well we've known now since I was 13 weeks along that we were having a little girl. I didn't want to believe the dr's when they first told us because the baby was so little. I kept thinking to myself how mean it would be if they tell a woman that she's having a girl and then take it back when she's further along. I always thought I'd be a mother of 4 BOYS so I was so thrilled when they said a little girl. I have to admit, right after we did our invitro before we even knew if it had worked I was taking a shower one day and had a vision that popped in my head. For some reason I was picturing our Christmas cards for next year with two kids in it and all I kept seeing was Trent sitting down with a little girl in a Christmas dress in between his legs. Then when we found out I was pregnant I kept thinking it was a girl. I didn't want to jinx myself so I hardly told anyone what I thought it was, but that was my gut feeling. So after our 13 week U/S I told mainly family and a few friends what they THOUGHT the baby was and crossed my fingers that they were right. Scott was so convinced they were right that he actually surprised me with baby Christmas presents that were baby girl clothes..SO cute of him :)
I had a regular OB appointment at 16 weeks and the Dr. said that he couldn't find anything that would make him believe it was a boy, so he was pretty certain they were right at my 13 week appointment.
I couldn't wait until I was 20 weeks along to get the confirmation so I convinced Scott to do a 3d Ultrasound when I was 17 weeks along to find out. Sure enough, 100% girl. We got a dvd of our entire 25 minute session along with about 10 pictures. Scott also decided to buy a little pink rabbit where you push the stomach and you can hear our little girls heartbeat, isn't that just adorable? I really wish they had something like that when I was pregnant with Trent (we also went to this 3d u/s place for him because I was too impatient to wait for him as well)
SO..she has now been confirmed a girl 4 times haha, and I think it's safe to say I finally can believe them.
We've decided on the name Kennedy Kaye Wilcox, Kaye being both mine and my mom's middle name. I've been so preoccupied with browsing the internet mainly ETSY looking for baby girl EVERYTHING! I ordered bow making templates today so that I can make all of her bows to match every outfit. My creative side has been waiting to unleash itself and now that we're having a girl it has come out full force. I'm even making something super cute for a friends baby shower this weekend..pics to come soon!
I posted a few outfits and shoes that I bought basically in one day..gosh I really hope Scott doesn't read this post :)
Lastly, I just want to say that I feel so incredibly blessed. I will be a mom to two beautiful children in a few months, and it's just a bonus that I have one of each sex. So if we can't conceive anymore children ill be content with my Trent and Kennedy!
Me starting my 6th month. I took month by month pictures of my belly when I was pregnant with Trent but honestly these months have just been flying by and it saddens me that this is my first belly pic. I've promised myself that I'll take pictures of myself from every month forward. Ones with clothes on, ones with bare bellies, I'll spare you those (they're pretty cute I must say, just because I love pregnant bellies) but I was just comparing my 6 month belly pics with Trent and this baby today, and they're dead on, exactly the same. So it's a myth that you carry differently with opposite sex's ..at least it is with me!
Kennedy's first bathing suit, too darn cute if you ask me!
just the beginning of her shoe collection, remember this was all purchased in a days time haha. And how adorable is that flower/tulle onesie? I can't wait to put it on her!
This is the bunny that you can push it's belly and hear Kennedy's heartbeat, so sweet and Trent has already decided that he wants to give this to her in the hospital (tears in my eyes)
I call babies at this stage little alien babies haha. They're so lumpy, skinny and scrawny but just OH SO PRECIOUS!
There's her "Cheeseburger" as the dr called it, haha she's all girl!
Kennedy has already turned head down, which has made it super uncomfortable for me, but SO incredibly worth it. I hope she stays that way for the remainder of my pregnancy, and doesnt flip back. Fingers crossed for an quick,easy, smooth delivery like I had with Trent.
Lastly Trent is going to make an amazing brother. I feel like he is at the absolute perfect age to understand what's going on. He got to feel Kennedy move for the first time the other day and the look on his face was priceless. He was soooo amazed by being able to feel her that he now just randomly walks up to me and puts his hand on my belly and whispers "baby sister, kick my hand". His new favorite thing is to also kiss my belly a million times a day and tell her he loves her (sigh) as a mom this is a wonderful feeling. Even though I originally wanted him closer in age to this one, I'm now seeing the benefits to a bigger gap.
