C'est une fille!!!


The lima bean has now graduated to an Olive....or, shall we say, Daddy's Little Olive.

*ahem*...OLIVIA SPOSA.

We are still working on a middle name but we are overjoyed with the news (as we secretly whispered and preferred a girl...but only in secret as to not upset the possibly 'brewing' boy).

Nonetheless, I am excited to add another girl in the house. Buddy, Milo and Jason are great - but it'll be nice to have another chick around. Besides, we can continue my family's Sanrio legacy (ehrm, obsession). We can go shopping and talk about fashion, teach her about womanhood, and broken hearts. Jason can spoil her (and will, of course, be her favourite by default) and he will be her knight in shining armour through it all - teaching her about art, music, and scaring off the boys!

Today was the anomaly scan where we learned of any abnormalities. We saw EVERYTHING - various sides of the brain, heart chambers, kidneys, fingers, toes, nose, lips - we saw it all. All of our bloodwork came out wonderful so unless the baby comes out with autism or cerebral palsy (both of which aren't detectable) we have ourselves a healthy, happy baby girl!

It was funny because last month Olivia wouldn't spread her legs for us to check and today we checked three times to confirm because she wouldn't spread them again! We laughed it off saying she should keep that up until she's atleast 25 years old!

Finally, the latest news in her movements...she LOVES fruits and juices.....seconds after I swallow she is bouncing around with excitement!

This has definitely rounded out our yet to begin holiday season!
