Today is the big day. March 11, 2011

 My parents got into town late last night. The arrived in style as always and showed up in the RV. It was a long trip for them through the mountains and the yucky weather, but they made it. Today we went to have our gender ultrasound, a special treat from my parents. We got to the place that had a big screen on the wall with a couch sitting in front of it for my parents. I laid down in the back on a bed and Seth sat next to me. The tech dimmed the lights and squirted the gel on my belly saying first we will look for the baby's heartbeat. However, apparently baby had other plans and was up and rearing, literally, to reveal the gender and within about 10 seconds the tech had written on the screen and nonchalantly announced what the baby was. I was still looking for the heartbeat and Dad said he was waiting for popcorn, and well there it was. Our baby is going to be.........A GIRL!!! =)  It took a minute or two to sink in and once I could see her little heart fluttering we all were so excited and emotional as you can imagine. Seth and I are so happy, he is so sweet. It was such a fun experience and special that my parents could be there too. Lucky for us that it is a girl since that is the only name we could agree on. Her name will be Ella Rose Cain.
My Mom and I had gone to a cake decorating class earlier that morning. It was a lot of fun. The class ended up just being the two of us which was really cool. We had a lot of fun. My mom made a special cake that morning before we knew the gender of the baby. She did a beautiful job.
