Dear Baby Girl,

That's right, you are a SHE! On January 25, 2013 we had our ultrasound to find if you were a girl child or a boy child. I had felt all along that you were a girl but I wasn't 100% sure. I was thinking it could go either way and I was fine with that. I was so nervous. I really wanted to find out! We went in and she started doing the ultrasound and I thought I saw some little boy parts. I screamed out "Was that a penis?" Haha. I'm sure Karen (my midwife) thought I was crazy. But she just smiled and didn't say anything. When we found out your brother was a boy it took her forever to be certain! 3 minutes into the ultrasound she asks if we want to know what the baby is. I was shocked that she figured it out so fast! Of course we said yes and she asked us what we thought it was. "It's a boy huh?" I asked. She said, "What was your first guess?" I told her we both thought girl and she said we were right! It was a crazy moment! I couldn't believe we were going to have a daughter!!! I was so excited! I just stared at the ultrasound screen thinking, "that's my little girl!" Suddenly Greg says, "Kayla re you crying?" I really wasn't so I said "no." He then said, "I think I might!" Your Dad is so awesome! He already loves you so much and can't wait to meet his little princess! I think he was more excited to have a girl than I was! Haha! We're both thrilled and can't wait to meet you!

We're still working on a name. Today we're thinking you'll be Jenaveave Beth White. But it seriously changes by the day. We cant' decide between Olivia and Jenaveave. I like both names but Olivia is just so common right now! I don't want you to have to be Olivia W your whole schooling life! So that's the only reason I lean towards Jenaveave. We would probably call you Jena, or Evie. But like I said it's still to be decided. So right now you are Pepe. This pregnancy I've had an extremely sensitive nose, so you became Pepe. Like Pepe la Pew. :) Hopefully that doesn't become your name. Lol

Okay lets go over symptoms. I was pretty darn sick in the begining of the pregnancy. Another reason I thought you were a girl. It was pretty miserable. I never threw up but I got pretty close a couple times! I'm so glad those days are behind me! Now I'm feeling pretty good. I'm pretty tired but not too bad. I crave lots of things. Salad, pineapple, most fruit, ice cream, and I know there is more but my brain is just not thinking tonight! I eat a lot of pineapples though. Like quite a bit. I buy a huge can and just sit and eat it! It's now one of Bently's favorite snacks too! We munch on pineapple together!

Speaking of Bently! You are going to have an awesome big brother I can already tell. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what's going on but he is always talking about "sister". That's what he calls you. Whenever he see an ultrasound picture he says "sister". He kisses my belly so he can kiss his sister! I have no idea how he'll react when you are actually here but as of right now, he loves you! :)

Let's talk about movement. Because of my previous miscarriages I was super excited to feel you move! Then I would know you were okay and not have to worry about it. The stinky part is I have an anterior placenta. That means, the placenta is between you and my outer belly. Which in turns means it's really hard to feel you. This has caused lots of worrying and crying. I really just get so scared I'm going to loose you! Which I know is crazy, but you can't tell a pregnant woman to be rational! ;) I thought I felt you a couple times in the 15th week. I kept thinking I felt you on and off but I wasn't sure! Valentines day was the first time I know I felt you! It was clearly you and not a gas bubble or something else. I was so excited! You did it a couple times. I still feel you but it's only every so often. I've felt you a couple times from the outside! Your Dad felt you move last week ON Wednesday March 16th! I mostly feel you every day and can't wait for it to be more pronounced! I can't wait for those hard kicks that are visible from the outside! :) You just keep growing and getting bigger k?

I think that's everything. I love you very much little one and think about you all the time! I can't wait to start buying pink things for you! :) July can't come fast enough!

Love,
Mom
