Life as a Davis: It's a Girl!

It's a Girl!

Well, we had our 20 week ultrasound on March 5 and found out we're having a baby girl! We love knowing what we're having and being able to call her by name. My mom and dad and John's mom all came over from Sandusky for the ultrasound, which made the day extra special. We all took a tour of the birthing center at the hospital we're going to deliver at before the ultrasound, which was really cool. The birth center at Robinson Memorial is beautiful - all private suites, HUGE bathtub in the bathrooms, and a bed for the new daddy's to sleep in too. The ultrasound was pretty emotional for all of us, our little one was moving around like crazy and opening and closing her mouth. We thought she was about to suck her thumb at one point. I even felt a big kick while seeing it on the screen at the same time. It was so cool. I'm continually in awe of the way God really does "knit" us together in our mother's wombs. To be experiencing this miricle of life is like nothing we have experienced before...and it just keeps getting better! Right now she is about 14 ounces and about 7.5 inches long.

Look at those strong arms!

This is how we know for sure she's a girl

Our little one's name is Molly. Molly Claire. We both fell in love with the name very early on in the pregnancy. We have an outlet mall right in Aurora with a Carter's, Osh Kosh B'Gosh, and The Children's Place, and have already picked up some adorable outfits for her - it is so addicting! We've found a few nursery ideas that we really like too, so we're trying to narrow it down. We did pick colors, and I finished making the curtains for the nursery...there's so much to do before she arrives!

We were having fun taking a couple belly pics...
