It's a ...

GIRL!!!!! Girl Girl Girl!!! We're having a girl! I'm going to have a daughter.... oh my gosh this makes me so happy :) I cried, of course, Matt almost did, and now I'm still crying. She had a good strong heartbeat and was moving all about it was so tender. I cannot wait to meet her and make sure we have a strong mother-daughter relationship. Matt is so giddy about having a daddy's girl... gosh I love him! We have a name picked out and Matt has given me the OK to officially announce it on the world wide web.... so here are the most recent pics of Miss Olivia Kemp!!

 

I already love her so much!

This has been a long, tough week for me. My energy level is officially gone, off the charts and I am running on empty. Work has really been busy lately and the stress is starting to take a toll... I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday only to realize it wasn't and I was furious! I pulled myself together dragging my feet every step of the way wondering how on earth I was going to make it through the long 8 hours ahead of me. Then, sitting at my desk today, I felt the most amazing, precious thing in the entire world... my little baby's flutters!!!! It was amazing. Consistently for a good 10 minutes, I was in complete bliss and almost cried. At our last appointment the baby was moving A LOT just swimming and flipping all about and the doctor said any day know I would feel something. That day was today. I can't wait to feel some strong kicks and jabs :)
