Baby Cavender is....................................

A GIRL!!!!!!

We found out on Tuesday.....Yeah!!!!
We had already picked out a girls name just in case and it is Samantha....
We are still working on the middle name...I came up with one a few months ago and it appears Dan is on board but I have agreed to wait and make sure we don't find anything else between now and then....Gosh this whole thing seems so real now though!!

Also at the sonogram they did tell us there was a little bit of fluid in her kidneys so off they sent me on Wednesday to a specialist to get it checked out...

Wednesday morning I was feeling fine about it not worried or anxious at all. I talked to a few friends on the long commute that morning and Kim mentioned she had some free time that afternoon and was willing to go with me..I thought nah I will be fine...Dan was not able to come since he had come to the appointment the day before...Well around 11 I hit panic mode what if I miss something the doctor says etc so I call Kim and ask if the offer is still good I would totally love some company. Kim is such a trooper (she is 2 weeks ahead of me with her soon to be little girl). We met up and went right in didn't even let our butts hit the leather couches in the waiting room and rushed right back. The doctor looked at everything repeatedly and the final diagnosis was that if this was his child he would not worry about it...Will probably clear up all on its own... YIPEE!!! He did want to see me again at 32-34 weeks just to double check which was fine with me...so I felt a tad silly for dragging Kim with me but we had a good laugh about it and caught up while there..

Also last Sunday Dan and I bought our crib, crib mattress, crib conversion kit and dresser... We were told it would take 8 weeks which we were planning on so we can get the room ready...They had it all in stock....Gheesh so we asked they hold onto it and we are having it delivered mid February when work slows down for both of us...

We also have a theme for the room...It is different shades of pink and green....Butterflies.....
I got a tip to try Bombay Kids late last year since they were going out of business. I bought the whole set of bedding before we were even 100% sure it was a girl..Just figured such a steal we could use it all next time if the first one ended being a boy....

We are now on to the hunt for a chair for the baby's room. We spent a lot of time looking last Sunday in between buying furniture and we agree we need one of those big chairs "aka the dad chair" because we are both so tall (5'11 and 6'3)...We just can't seem to agree on color and pattern. So we decided to table the discussions until we have more time..

One more side note my amazing husband when he is sick he so milks it!!!! We were driving home on Tuesday from the doctors appointment (we commuted in together since we commute so far) and since he has a horrific cold he decided he needed some ginger ale and cough drops so I pull in to the grocery store parking lot expecting us to jump out and run in..He stays in the car and the pregnant lady (me) goes in and buys the ginger ale and cough drops...Granted the ginger ale 2 liters were on sale so I bought 3-4...hello on sale....never know when you will need them..so as I get all situated again he decided to really feel better he would need an ice cream shake from Sonic (I mean it is right across the street and while I was in the store he was just sitting in the car staring at the sign I mean that may make me want one too)....so off we go to Sonic and if he was getting a shake i had to have one too, of course!!!
