The Queen: Michelle

The Queen: Michelle
I am 28 years old. Still a princess but the queen of my family. Spoiled beyond belief. Lucky and truely blessed. A lover. A crafter. A mother. A wife. A friend. This is me.

My King: Junior

My King: Junior
The LOVE of my life! He completes me and balances me out in every way. He's a workaholic. He's loud, blunt, and crazy. He drinks Monsters like his life depends on it. Above all he is the greatest Daddy I could ever ask for, for my children. And he treats me like his Queen (and he calls me that too).

The Model Child: Diego Ray

The Model Child: Diego Ray
9 years old. My only boy. He is the epitome of the perfect child. He is so responsible and independent. Wise beyond his years. He is laughter, he is love, he is compassion, he is simply amazing. He keeps me grounded and reminds me always that I am beautiful. He is a natural born leader and takes care of the household and family better than me!

The Diva: Alayna Danae

The Diva: Alayna Danae
7 years old. She is drama. My fashionista for sure with a style all her own. Sensitive and loving when she wants to be. Thumbsucker. My biggest headache because she is the most like me. She is the only one who can cause me to become uncontrollably angry. She loves to dance. She loves to model. My bookworm and most academic.

The Wild Child: Arielle Marie-Grace

The Wild Child: Arielle Marie-Grace
4 years old. This one is something else. She is pure comedy. Never a dull moment with her crazy antics. She is also the crybaby. She does things her own way. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to be cute to get it. My Disney loving pal. So girly. Her favorite color is pink. Loves Rapunzel. Will wear a dress every single day. Can't leave the house without a bow in her hair. She refuses.

The Munchkin: Atalie Belle

The Munchkin: Atalie Belle
2 years old. My sweet baby. She loves her Mommy above all else. She is a cuddlebug for sure. The calmest most well behaved baby ever! But she has TONS of energy. She is so small and petite. She loves to sing and dance. She so SO ready for ballet and has yet to even step foot in a class. She loves Minnie Mouse and watching Disney Jr. She is hilarious and talks way too much.

It's A Girl... Still...

We had our standard mid pregnancy ultrasound back in November. You know... the one where they make sure the baby is okay measure everything, check kidneys, spine, heart, etc.... AND you can find out the gender? Well I look forward to that every time. Most importantly to make sure baby is doing just fine... but also for inpatient, obsessed planners, like me... we get to find out what we'er having! As if a baby isn't enough right? But I gotta know!

The entire time leading up to this ultrasound this time, I had NO CLUE what I thought we were having. But 2 days before... I mentioned to Jr, "I think it may just be another girl". And sure enough we go in and they said it was a girl. It was hard to get a good view but the tech said she was pretty sure it was a girl.

Pretty sure?

Well she's the expert right?

And my little feeling was confirmed and for the 4th time I was correct on what I was having... even though we were hoping for a boy. My mind was only disappointed for about... 2 seconds... another girl! Heck yes! More tutus, more bows, more everything PINK! I was excited either way.

But Jr (although excited too) wasn't convinced she was really a she. Especially after Diego's disappointment of yet another sister. And since then they refuse to admit she's a girl. Jr already picked out her name but still wouldn't use it. He still referred to her as "him" or "the baby". So last week I told him, "I had a feeling she was a girl... and I am sure that she is... the experts know what they see." But still no convincing Mr. Junior.

He's talked for weeks and weeks about getting a 4d ultrasound done (since out Dr's office gave us a pamphlet) because our insurance won't cover any more ultrasounds unless the Dr. orders one. So today as we were out running errands he gets the bright idea to just get one. We happened to be driving by it and we went in. No appointment. But they they weren't busy so we went straight in. She had just finished up with another couple.

I've never had a 4d done so it was cool to actually see the baby. Looks like Jr again... I saw the forehead. So I guess none of my babies will ever look like me. It might be a good thing cuz my daughters are pretty dang cute so... I guess it's a good thing! She had her arm over her eyes sleeping the entire time! She tried and tried to wake her up and get her to move but she was stubbourn. She'd ocassionally move her arm a bit and shift around and then yawn after yawn the tech was taking pictures. She had me change positions a few times and then finally the baby had had enough and she woke up. You could even see her open her eyes... it was amazing! She continued to yawn and then brought her little foot up to her mouth and sucked on it for the remaider of the scan. It was really really cool.

I am so happy my husband did this for me, I wouldn't have wanted to do it if he tried to schedule an appointment ahead of time. But I really had no choice... he decided on a whim and then there we were! But it was awesome!

Oh and yes... we totally saw the girl parts clearly this time.



So she's still a girl...

And Jr's mind is now at ease. :)
