It's a Girl!

So, we went to the doctor on Monday (June 19th, 2010) & found out we're having a girl! We have decided to name her Mila Page Ricke. During the ultrasound, I swear I saw Elvis' pouting lips. I really hope she has his lips. The doctor said she is healthy and weighs about 11oz.  We are 1/2 way through and our due date is December 6th. We know it will be here fast, so we're already starting to prepare. We've bought a few clothes & are going to start working on her room. 

We had a surprise "Gender Revealing Party" for Elvis' family. We watched the DVD (Which I could watch over & over), ate pizza, and then they had to bite into a cupcake for the revealing. Misty yelled out "It's a girl!!" It was really cute! I think they really enjoyed it.

Last night I felt a little movement. I cannot wait for Elvis to feel her move for the first time. I think he is going to be so amazed. He's already calling her by name when he talks to by belly. We cannot wait to meet Mila. She'll be here before we know it. Love, Sandy

Flutters

On June 30th (I believe...) I was sitting at my desk at about 9:15am and felt a little "flutter!" My heart started to pound so fast. I didn't want to move because I didn't want the flutters to stop. I believe it was Baby Ricke telling me he/she was hungry!! I have felt a few "bubbles" and "flutters" since then, but not too much. I cannot wait to know for sure that I felt the baby move. Oh, it was so amazing! I called to call Elvis right away. I know he is anxious to feel the baby move too! We have our first ultrasound on July 19th and we can hardly wait to know to he/she is healthy and the gender.
