It's a GIRL!!!

Well I know it been a while since I last posted anything but we have had a lot of excitment lately to fill everyone in on.

On February 20, 2012, we found out our baby is a GIRL!!! We are so excited!!! Everyone asks me if Jim is ok with having a baby girl and he is just as excited as I am. After trying for 5 years we did not have a preference. A boy would be great because we would love to pass on the Costello name but a girl would be fun too. There is nothing better than a Daddy's girl.

We also had a Gender Revealing Party for our small group of friends. Everyone was asked to wear pink or blue depending on if they thought we were having a boy or girl. Stephanie helped me make cupcakes with pink frosting inside and white frosting on top. All at once, all our friends bit into the cupcakes at once to find out that we were having a girl. I cant believe how hard it was to keep the secret for 6 days until we could announce it to them. As thank you gifts for coming, we made s'mores in a jars. They turned out really cute.

Well after finding out that we are having a girl we have started a little bit of shopping. My first purchase for the baby was also for Jim. I bought him his very own diaper bag so he doesnt have to carry around a pink bag.

We also went to Costco and laughed as we came out because our basket was filled. Filled with what you ask??? Diapers, wipies, a thermometer that goes across the forehead, water and dog food. Awwww how things have started to change already but we wouldnt change it for the world.

We have also been given lots of gifts for our Baby Girl already. My bff, Katie, gave us two boxes of the cutest dresses and outfits that are hand me downs and some stuff still have the tags on it. Katie's Aunt and Cousin gave me the cutest oufit and white shoes that have hand painted roses on them. I just love them. Jim's Mom gave us a an outfit, ballerina shoes and a matching hat that she bought years ago because she knew we would have a girl one day. And my co-worker gave me cowboy boots. Oh I cant wait to put her in them with a cute skirt... She is ready to go visit her Grandma, PawPaw and Uncle in texas with those babies on.
