Baby Girl

Well by now you likely know that we are expecting a little girl!  I know it's cliché but I really was going to be completely thrilled and thankful for whichever gender as long as it was healthy. I know we haven't struggled with loss or conception as long or as hard as some people have,  but I feel like our past experiences with this (as well as others experiences) really have made me genuinely appreciative for simply a healthy pregnancy regardless. As long as things continue to progress and grow in a healthy way for the little one and I, I have absolutely no preference.

I have always pictured myself with a little princess for sure, so I am definitely thrilled. Buying girl stuff is super fun, and since I was so much older than my sister I remember growing up with a little girl and can relate to it more. Since I didn't have a brother, boys would be new territory and a whole new experience for me. That being said, something completely new and unknown is exciting and fun in it's own way as well!

Just simply knowing the gender of our little one though is an incredible bonding experience. I understand why people wait to find out in the delivery room and while that is a completely magical moment on it's own, I really enjoy finally being able to say "her" and "she" when we talk about her. I like being able to picture the things she might like and the things she may grow up to be. That to me is the part I am looking forward to the most, just seeing her grow into her own little person and watching her personality and interests unfold over the years. Although I won't lie, I'd love to see her become a Disney Princess like her mom...

Anyway I thought I would share some fun things on my inspiration board of items I am hoping to buy for her. I'm a visual person so seeing them all in one place is a fun little collage of things and items sums up some of the fun things I envision purchasing for her during the first year or so. It helps me remember what it was I wanted to buy for her when I have some extra $ and things to add to her Christmas list for Grandparents etc!

Oh - and if you haven't already made your guesses on our Baby Pool you can head over to this link and guess her due date, weight, hair and eye color etc. It's a really fun little website and the best part is you don't have to sign up to enter a guess!
