I had my official ultrasound Tuesday...if we are keeping count this is #4 but yesterday was the one that counted. The baby was head down with its legs wide apart, no being shy here. The technician said "there is no way that any little parts could be hiding from this view"...so I guess after being told three times it's a GIRL I can believe it. This child is definitely taking after her parents. She was not cooperating yesterday. She found her position she wanted to be in and would not move, no matter turning to the side or shaking or pushing...stubborn! We finally got most of the measurements we needed, though she was not in the ideal place she needed to be. They were all good. I had to go back Wednesday and try again to get the measurements. We got everything but I will go back again in a couple weeks to get a measurement on the face double checked. She had her face pressed against the placenta so there were no good looks at her face and no cute profile pictures. So now I am up to 5 ultrasounds and will be 6 in a couple more weeks. It’s fun having an ultrasound technician at work and just looking whenever I want.
After the ultrasound I went out with Clint's mom, Jeannie, and sister in law, Jenny, and we picked out my fabric for Jeannie to make my crib set. Then I picked up some cute metal flowers and a butterfly to go on the accent wall in the nursery. I have already picked out my nursery color-Amethyst Purple...kinda a dark lavender but a rosy purple. The accent wall will be a light pink that matches one of the pinks in the baby quilt Jeannie is going to make.
Wednesday night Jenny came over and helped me paint my three walls purple. I love it. I was a little questionable about it but was going to go for it anyways and I am glad I did. I love the walls. We are going to give the purple a good day to dry and then paint the last wall pink…Hello Dolly pink to be exact. Once everything is painted up will go the flowers and Clint can get the crib put together.
Our little girl will be Ryann Leora Greene. Ryann cause we like the name, would have been Ryan for a boy. Leora after my and my mom's middle name and my mom's mom first name. I've already bought my wooden letters for her name to decorate. Those pictures and pictures of the metal flowers to come.
This is the main fabric for my baby quilt/crib set.
These are all the fabrics we will be using.
The crib skirt and curtains will be white with the three stripes of the rickrack sewn on them.

I can't wait to see how it all goes together.

Wow! What a great surprise in time for Christmas! I love the fabrics and can't wait to see how it all turns out.
So, a girl! We have a girl Ryann in our family. : ) And the fabrics are great! You have to post pics of the painted walls and everything!
Can't wait to see how it all comes together-then you can let me know if it's worth making all that stuff or just buy it :) At least it's worth it to have just the right design! Love the nursery colors too! so happy-let's 'skype' soon!! (we got a webcam for Christmas)
