Well… after much poking and prodding and drinking some juice to make movement occur, Baby Lusk finally let us know that it is a…..

GIRL!!

And apparently a modest girl at that! Her legs were crossed like she was sitting indian style the whole time! The ultrasound tech was poking her and having me turn on my side and stomach and we were talking to her and she just would not move. Stubborn like some of her family members I guess. Finally they went and got me some juice and told me to drink it and maybe the sugar would get her moving. She moved a little, just enough to see that, well, there was not much to see, so we knew she was a girl! The hub asked the tech, “are you sure?” and she said “oh yes.” So there we have it.

Then, after dinner, my mother in law and I proceeded to go buy lots of fun pink and purple things!

So there you have it. She is a girl. Early on, I had this idea that it would be a girl with blond hair, because the hub had blond hair when he was little. But then later I wasn’t really sure and didn’t know what it was. But I guess that premonition was right. With the exception of the people who voted in my blog, most people said they thought it was a boy. My principal thought boy because she said I looked pregnant from the back (gee, thanks, wide load coming through!) and one other teacher at school told me today that she is never wrong and she knew it was a boy. Well I guess she was wrong. I told my students at school vote with their clothes on Monday for what they thought it is. Wear pink if you think its a girl and blue if you think its a boy. We shall see if they are right.

Here we are with our girly outfit.

And here is her profile.

And her feet. Aren’t they sweet?

If you haven’t voted yet, go vote in my sidebar. Later today we find out the baby’s gender!

Today the Baylor Bears play in the Sweet Sixteen.

We are ready for the game here.

The baby even has something to wear although I don’t know how we will get it into my stomach to put it on.

And we even have a new furry friend named Baylor. (Since he does look like a brown bear and all!) We rescued him from STCH and brought him back to find him a nice home. He is the sweetest doggy! He follows behind you and likes hugs and is very calm and friendly.  He would be a perfect dog for a little boy to love on.

Anyone need a good dog?

Sic Em Bears!

Go Vote!

Tomorrow we find out if our baby is a boy or girl.

When I told the hubby I was pregnant, I bought something that said Daddy in both a boy and girl option. The girl onesie says “Daddy’s little princess” and the boy big says “My dad is my hero” with a football”. Tomorrow, if he or she cooperates, we find out which of those items we get to use!

Man is it windy outside! And it is going to be like 34 tonight in H town! I can’t believe today is the first day of spring, because it doesn’t feel like it! This is the winter that just won’t quit! Nevertheless, I am shopping for a maternity swimsuit. Any suggestions? Bring on the warm weather!

Oh and I realized that in less than 5 months, I am going to have a child. Isn’t that crazy?????

So every time you go to the doctor when you are pregnant, you have to pee in a cup. I think they are checking for excess protein or sugar or something. Anyway, its the same routine every time. Get your name called, step on the scale, and then get a sample in the nearby bathroom. Well today I was thinking about other things, or else it was just pregnancy brain, but after I was done in there I realized that I had forgotten to do what I was there to do! Luckily I had a juice box in my purse, so I drank it during the appt and then got a sample at the end.

All is well with Baby L and here is what the heartbeat sounds like.

The heartrate was 140, don’t remember what that means it is supposed to be. We find out next week!

Don’t really know how to insert sound…so we will see what happens.

Here is a pic of us from the rodeo last week:

Baby is getting bigger. And Baby likes corn dogs. I ate two. Yum! And fried oreos were good too. My sweet hub won me this pirate dog. Twice. We left the first one in the stadium after the show by accident and so he played the game again and won me another one.

Kasey thought it was funny to take a picture of me in the birthing center near a pregnant pig. So here it is…

Hey guys! I would like to be blogging more but I just can’t seem to find time, and when I do have time, I can’t figure out what to say. So here is apicture from today.  A sweet friend from far away sent me this fun shirt and I was excited to wear it today. Another sweet friend sent some super soft socks that I have enjoyed too. I am feeling really well, lots of energy. I even felt the baby move for the first time on Sunday during church! I go to find out what gender we are expecting on the 26th and can’t wait!!! More later!
