AHHHHHH....It's Pink!

In honor of our little girls, I have changed my blog background to PINK!!!  For those of you who know me, this is a big step!  So enjoy it while it lasts people, not too sure how long I can take it!!

Thanks for all the congrats on Miss Samantha (Sam) Lynn!  We are so incredibly blessed and yesterday was a huge reminder of that! Thank you God for entrusting us with one of your own precious creations!  We are forever grateful!

It's a.....

GIRL!!!!  Today we had our sonogram and found out that our little Stout Seed # 2 is a girl!  It is always amazing to see everything in a sonogram...we got to see her heart with all 4 chambers, her brain, her 2 kidneys, her stomach filled with liquid meaning that she is swallowing, her femur, her hands, her feet, her spine and more!  She's like a little person in there...mainly because she is a little person in there :)  Once all her measurements were taken, we found out she is measuring at 19 weeks and 4 days old, and I am at 19 weeks and 5 days, so she is right on track!  Here are some of the pics from the sono...

This is Samantha Lynn's sweet (and freaky) looking face.  Her eye is right under the letter E in FACE, and her forehead is on the right, her hand is on the upper left and her chest is on the left...you get the picture!

Here's her sweet little foot.  She was moving around a lot, and we got a good shot of these piggies!!  I think it already looks like she has Johnny's feet...just like Joey :)  I guess we will see!

And this one's for Uncle Stewie :)  The doc said we might have an Aggie on our hands...LOL...anywho, that's her hand and you can see her nose by her thumb and her mouth just to the left of that.  Her elbow is below her chin and her shoulder is all the way on the left side of the picture!

Joey and Johnny were both able to come to the sonogram today thanks to Mr. Martin Luther King Jr.!  Jo did great and got mad when daddy was in her way and she couldn't see the baby!

After the sono, I had an OB check up...I weighed in at 105 lbs, and again, I guess my pee sample was good enough not to say anything as well as my heart rate because I didn't hear a word about either!  The doc hung out with us for about 2.5 seconds, said everything looked good and sent me to get my blood drawn.  By the way, the lady who draws blood at our doc is AWESOME!!!  I never feel it!

So people have been asking, are you glad it's a girl or did you want a boy??  I will tell you that growing up I wanted 4 boys and NO girls.  Now I can't imagine anything else and there are so many reliefs now that we know our little Sam will be here in June instead of a little boy!  I'm a list person, so here's my "Why I'm excited Sam's a girl" list:

*Since we already have a girl, we know what to do with a girl!  No having to learn about boys :)

*Since the girls b-days (Joey Apr 23, and Sam June 2) won't be too far apart, we are hoping that all Joey's hand me downs will be in the right season and we won't have to buy too many new things!

*Since Sam is a girl, we don't have to do anything to the nursery!  No painting...YAY!!

* Joey and Sam may fight when they are young, but get to be best buddies like me and my sister when they grow out of it :)

*I hear girls are easier to potty train!!!

*I also love the boy name for a girl thing we have going on, and don't worry, if we have more girls, we have more names that will work, just you wait and see!!

The list could go on and on, and it would be just as long if Sam had been a boy, but we are thrilled that she is who she is, and that God is molding her into the little lady He wants her to be!  We are stoked to say the least, and can't wait to meet Sam in 20 or less weeks!!  We are 1/2 way done!!!

In 12 Hours......

In 12 short hours we will know if Stout Seed # 2 is a boy or a girl (pending the baby cooperates :)!  I am so excited I could just burst!  If you are the prayin' type, and I hope you are...please pray for our doc visit tomorrow.  I'm excited to see how Stout Seed # 2 is developing, get it's measurements, and see it's goodies :)  I will let y'all know as soon as we know!

Oh and on a fun side note, my friend Cari analyzes handwriting and says that it's going to be a boy based on a handwriting sample I sent her the other day!  She was right with our daughter Joey, so we will see tomorrow if she's done it again!

On another fun side note, my SIL Becky is great at feeling the baby vibes and she has been getting "girl" vibes from the beginning with SS#2...she was also right with Joey, will she be right again??  I guess both Cari and Becky have a 50/50 chance, so we shall see!

What's your guess??

It Has to be a BOY!!!

For those of you who haven't talked to me lately, you don't know that I am totally convinced we are having a boy.  I could be completely wrong, but here are my reasons, and I'm stickin to em until I see a sonogram showing me differently!

• With Joey I was NEVER sick!
• With Stout Seed # 2 I get "carsick" everyday around 1ish...sometimes it's managable, but other times I've had to leave work even :(

• With Joey I had great skin
• With Stout Seed # 2 I have the skin of a 13 year old boy...there should really be an age limit on zits!!!

• With Joey, the hair on my legs stopped growing and it started growing out of my neck...we would lovinigly refer to this phenomenon as "Teen Wolf"
• With Stout Seed # 2  Teen Wolf isn't here and my leg hair still grows...much to my husband's dismay :)

• With Joey I wasn't really craving specific food, and had no aversions to specific food
• With Stout Seed # 2  I want French Fries, Okra..that's right, I said Okra, Granola Bars...really anything starchy....I am NOT liking ground turkey...blech...and I usually love ground turkey!  I hope this doesn't affect Thanksgiving!

• With Joey my hair went from Oily to dry.  I only had to wash it every other day
• With Stout Seed # 2 my hair is Oily by the end of the day and I have to wash it every day
  

The list could go on and on, but I will spare you the details...the only thing I know is that this is a BOY, and if it's not, they I will be totally suprised.  I will be happy either way, boy or girl, I just can't wait to have another baby to hold and snuggle, and love!!

Speaking of someone to hold and snuggle and love, here is a pic of little Miss Joey holding one of her favorite babies (who is almost as big as her) Caroline, or as Joey says "Teroline".  So cute!  And yes folks, this is Caroline's real hair!!  Isn't she a cutie??

PS...no cars were moving in this picture...Joey had just been buckled in and let Holli know she wanted to hold Caroline!  Holli is so sweet and let her.  Joey made sure that Holli was not helping!
