It's a girl!

At our last doctor's appointment, we FINALLY found out that we are having a baby girl! However, she did make us wait longer than we were anticipating this time too... the ultrasound technician still couldn't tell what she was when we went in for the first look because of the way she was turned. But, she offered to let us come back for another look once she was done with her other appointments for the day. Mike went back to work to get his computer and things to take home that night, while I took a long walk around the hospital and sipped on a Coke. :) It was the first caffeine I've had since getting pregnant and I was a little shaky (and I only drank about 1/4 of it)! But, we were able to get a 100% positive read. Third time's a charm I guess!

We have decided to name her Norah, but have yet to come up with a middle name. We both love Norah so much that we're having a hard time finding something that isn't too much of a mouthful with Sartori. We have a couple of ideas but aren't quite sure just yet.

I have decided to embrace all the pink (at least until she is old enough to tell me that she doesn't like pink if that's the case!). We have painted the nursery walls a really pale pink that is so cute, but we still have some finishing touches to add. I'm going to do a post on the nursery later with pictures.

She has been kicking quite a bit lately, so much so sometimes that I can see my stomach jiggling which is so funny! She is especially active right after lunch time, in the evenings, and she wakes me up at least once a night. I was just telling my mom last night that I think I've reached the point of no return with sleeping through the night!

This week we are just going to be getting ready for Thanksgiving - I'm cooking for the first time (for just Mike and I)! I'm thinking the turkey will be the hardest part? We'll see!
