JP = Just Precious!

The big day had finally come! We were taking a second peek at little JP to see if Austin was getting a baby brother or sister. The morning started off with an early 8:30 appointment. Jay had to work and Austin had school so Aunt B got to tag along. I decided it wasn't fair to find out without Jay and Austin...so I came up with a plan to have the ultrasound tech draw a pink or blue heart inside a card. We'd seal up the card until Jay got home from work and Austin would tell us if it was a boy or girl. Little JP didn't want to cooperate at first! Legs were still locked and butt was down, which made for a challenging "money shot." The tech was finally able to get what she was looking for after a trip to the bathroom and a little pep talk from Mom. She drew the appropriate heart, sealed up the envelope and sent us on our way. To say it was a LONG day would be a huge understatement. Jay rolled in around 7:30 and it was finally time for the big reveal!


It's a GIRL!!!!
(This is where I dropped the camera mid picture and said, "What! It is not! Let me look!")
Sure enough! A tiny pink heart! Austin is getting a baby sister!!!
A few pictures for HER second photo shoot...
This is as much of her that they could get in one shot. Head is on the left and her arm in the right.
Sweet little profile!
Face - She's look right at us. Black spots are her eyes.
Her little foot (top right) that's using my bladder as a punching bag

The fact that we're getting a little girl is finally starting to sink in. And it's amazing how quickly her wardrobe has already started to pile up! Now we just need to decide on a name! Austin and Nana have decided that JP now stands for Just Precious!

To My Dear Precious,
I have so many dreams of things we will do when you get here. Austin and I are already talking dolls, baby strollers and kitchen sets. Your brother will bbq on his play grill while you work in your pretend kitchen and I'm sure you'll have to do the dishes, just like Nana does.
Going to have to add pepto pink (as you Mama calls it) to the decor on the play house Pa will be building.
Love you so much and so excited for your arrival.
Nana
