I woke up this morning to a mix of about twenty different feelings and emotions. It feels the way Christmas did when I was a little girl and couldn’t wait to see what Santa brought me. It also feels the way the first day of school used to when I’d repeatedly tell my mom how nervous I was and how I was sure I was going to be sick.
I’ve got my 20 week ultrasound today– at almost 21 weeks pregnant! We’re going to see the baby again and I’m so excited, but I’m nervous. I’ve been praying for this baby my whole life, but real specifically praying for this life for 20 weeks. The whole thing feels surreal. I will know by 3:00 today whether this little person that will spend the next 18 years living with us (maybe a little more) and changing our lives for the better is a boy or a girl!
It’s one of those things that I never thought would happen like “I’ll never be old enough to get married” and “I’ll never be old enough to have a baby.” The day is here. We’ve reached that point in our lives!
I haven’t posted a poll yet, so I’d love to hear what you think. Is Baby Carroll a girl or a boy?
I’ll let you know later today as soon as I can get back to a computer after the appointment.
Note: A new reader left a comment yesterday asking if Carroll was going to be the baby’s name. Carroll is our last name.
How exciting! I’m guessing girl 🙂
Yay!! Congratulations! I’m so excited for you!
I’m also going to guess that Baby Carroll is a girl!
I’m gonna guess … BOY!! Cant wait to find out!!!!!

What an exciting day!!! I have no guesses, but I am excited to hear what Baby C is!
That’s so exciting =)
Yay! That’s so exciting! Do we get to see your baby’s first pictrue?
Also, I think the baby’s a boy.

I’m guessing Baby Carroll is going to be a beautiful little girl. But if I’m wrong at least we know he’ll be an adorable little boy!!!
Can’t wait to hear what you find out. 🙂

I am so excited for you, Erin! I can’t wait to find out what you’re having…I have NO CLUE what to guess, but maybe boy since it seems like everybody I know having a baby soon is having a boy!

I’m guessing boy! I can’t wait to find out.
That is so exciting!!! I bet you are counting down the time until 3:00!
My vote is a little boy!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
I feel the SAME way. I always felt like I would never get married, now I am married 2.5 years. Now I feel like I will never have kids, like I will never ever make it to that stage for some reason. So as the time gets closer and we talk about babies it is SO weird for me and so unreal. I honestly don’t think it will be real until I have a little one in my belly!
So excited to find out! Great point about life being surreal. I never thought I’d be an “adult” either. But here I am: married, homeowner, professional. I bet having a baby is even more surreal.
I’m so excited for you guys! You’re in my thoughts 😉
How exciting! I’ll be praying for you. It will be perfect no matter what! xoxo
I’m so excited for you – I can’t wait to find out. I guess a girl 🙂
What a memorable day!! I can’t wait to hear what your having!! My guess is a girl!
GIRL! I just heard you were featured on FITS news 🙂 That’s awesome!
Yeah!!! The day is finally here for you! I am still going with a boy! I can’t wait to read your next post! I hope everything looks well with the baby most importantly! My 20 week ultrasound is tomorrow, I hope our last u/s tech was right! 🙂
So exciting, best of luck! Can’t wait to hear what the lil babe is!
So exciting!!! I can’t wait to hear!! I’m also going to guess a boy!!! 🙂
I am so super excited for you my friend!! I am guessing GIRL!! I just feel that for some reason!!
I’m so excited for you! For some reason I feel like it is going to be a BOY! 🙂
yayayayayay! I’m so pumped for you! I’m thinking little snails and puppy dog tails!!!!
I’m thinking boy. It seems like everyone is have a boy, so why not you?!
Congratulations, can’t wait to check back and see.
OOOOOH! This is SOOO exciting!!! Muffy predicts it is a GIRL!

I am not going to guess a gender- but I know that regardless it is going to be the light of your household whether pink or blue! Congratulations on making it 20 weeks! I hope that the second 20 weeks go by easier and quicker than the first half. 🙂
