IT'S A GIRL!!!

20 weeks pregnant was a huge week for our little family!!!

First, we got to see our precious little baby for the first time.  She was very shy and kept her hands up by her face and we even think she was sucking her thumb through most of the ultrasound.  Also, she was very lady like and kept her legs together so that we couldn't get a good picture of whether she was a boy or girl.  In the end the ultrasound tech told us that she was 99.9% sure that we were having a GIRL!  Mommy had a feeling from the beginning that she was going to be a little girl but thought deep down that daddy had a feeling she was going to be a boy.  When the ultrasound tech told us "It's a Girl" mommy looked at daddy and he looked very surprised!  The ultrasound tech continued with her measurements and as she was measuring her legs daddy said "wow her legs look long maybe she will be tall like her mommy and play basketball." Later I think daddy was continuing to process that she was a girl and said "well I guess I am going to have to buy her a pink Miami Dolphins jersey."  By the time our appointment was over daddy had a big grin on his face and proudly carried the pictures of his little girl out of the doctors office!

Later that week we purchased our first home in Hackettstown, NJ.  It has 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, garage and daddy's pride & joy, a full finished basement!  Unfortunately, the house won't be finished being built until after baby girl Dickerson is born, but mommy already knows exactly how she's going to decorate her nursery!!!  The building process has begun with the foundation and look at our beautiful view!!!  Can't wait to move in and have a BBQ with our friends and family.

Mommy and daddy also celebrated their one year wedding anniversary with a trip to Canada to see Niagara Falls!!!  We got some great pictures of the falls, went on the Maid of the Mist, walked around the town and had a delicious anniversary dinner overlooking the falls!!!
