While it was a stressful experience, something good did come out of it- we found out through another ultrasound that we are definitely having a little girl!! The minute the ultrasound tech confirmed that Henry was getting a sister, I immediately started picturing tutu's and flower headbands. Me and mom cannot wait to buy everything sparkly in site, and the nursery planning has officially begun!
If you look carefully at the sideways photo of her face, you can see her little smirk! I am so in love already, and cannot wait to meet her. We've been tossing around names, and we are pretty set on Charlotte Elizabeth. Carl wasn't sold at first, but after me calling her Charlotte for months I think it's sticking.
At 27 weeks, I feel way behind that all we have for little girl is literally one outfit that mom bought (it says "best little sister" and I'm obsessed). But then I realized, even if she has to wear some of Henry's old clothes (the containers and containers of outfits that we have) she will survive. I may just have to accept that she can't be covered in glitter and pink 24/7... maybe.
I am, however, so glad to have the green light on nursery planning! With this pregnancy's complications, I could end up needing a C-section before 40 weeks, which makes the time crunch even more stressful. Guess it's a good thing I've been planning a girl's nursery since I was pregnant with Henry! Some of my inspiration for her shabby-chic, vintage-inspired nursery:
I absolutely cannot wait to get out and shop, and start all of the projects I have lined up! If anyone has ideas for a vintage/shabby-chic nursery they'd like to share, please do! I can never get enough flowers, sparkle, and vintage embellishments.
