It's a...

Girl! We found out last Wednesday that our little one is a female. Please excuse my daughters see through skin that makes her look like she has two heads. On the other hand, isn't it neat that you can see her skull and her face at the same time? It is also possible that she was moving in this picture and so that is one of the reasons that she looks like she has two heads. She was moving the entire time. It was hard for the nurse to get a decent listen to the heartbeat because she would move as soon as the nurse found it. As she is growing bigger and kicking harder, my tummy is getting bigger. I had a patient ask if I was pregnant the other day, which was the first time that someone I didn't know mentioned my being pregnant, so apparently (even with baggy scrubs) my tummy is now unmistakable. We are getting together all the things that we will need for the little one and I'm enjoying sewing and crocheting for her. We are so excited for our little girl!

In other news, we enjoyed our 4th of July with Sean's family in Texas which included Owen and his friend Raines. It was really good to see everyone and finally be able to see the family farm I've heard so much about.

Sean's birthday is coming up (the 19th) and we'll be going to a Rockies game to celebrate his getting old(er). He's already been spoiled and got a tent a couple months ago, and then used birthday money to buy a new shotgun. Then I was feeling bad (before he got the shotgun) that he wouldn't have anything to open on his birthday so I bought him a Texas Tech t-shirt and a Rockies t-shirt. Only I ordered them on Amazon and forgot that I was on his account which goes to his email, so no surprises for him this year. We are also going to see Harry Potter and I don't think I could wait much longer. I am somewhat regretting not reading all the Harry Potter books and watching all the movies again before this last movie. It just seems like the right thing to do. However, I did not. Oh well.

I got my hair cut today. It is the shortest it has ever been and I'm still trying to decide if I like it. Although it is not like I have a choice at this point, I can't glue it back on. It is shorter than I asked for, which is funny because when I said how long I wanted it, she said she was going to cut it just a little longer because she thought it would frame my face better. Oh, and I forgot to mention, this salon is specifically for curly hair. Hallelujah. Besides it being shorter than anticipated, it is awesome. She did a great job "shaping" (or layering) it and I got a free deep conditioning treatment for being a first time customer so now my hair is so soft. Most importantly, it is out of my face, easy to manage, and will keep me cooler.
