We’re having a….

I’ve been putting off sharing ‘publicly’ baby’s gender for a couple of reasons.

First we wanted to tell our family and close friends. ✓ That’s done.

Second when we went to get our sonogram I was only just under 17 weeks. Some say that’s a little early to be completely certain, so I was waiting for our second sonogram just in case… But I decided if I get another sonogram and for whatever reason it’s different, I’ll just tell you then. 😉 The sonogram tech was 99% certain anyway. She even told Nate that she could be wrong… But she wasn’t. haha.

So blog friends, officially now you know, we are having a….

Yes, that’s baby girl Mortensen’s cute little foot in the sonogram photo! I have others, even one where it’s obvious she’s a girl. The sonogram tech even wrote GIRL on the photo! But sharing her uh-huhs on the Internet didn’t seem all that classy… 😉

A few days after the sonogram that fortune was in my fortune cookie! Perfect timing, right!?!

If you follow me on Instagram (@Kassarie) or you might’ve guessed it already anyway… I’ve shared a few of the cutest little onsies our friends got for us after finding out.

One for mommy… {Thanks Kayce and Dusty!!!!}

And one for daddy…. {Thanks Tracey!!!}

Even in our announcement post, you might have noticed that the little boots for baby were red, cowgirl boots. So far I’ve restrained from buying all the cute little dresses and outfits I’ve seen. The boots have been my only purchase for baby girl Mortensen. It has been tough though especially with her Auntie Kayli sending cute pictures of the sweetest outfits she finds in different stores… 😉

We have decided on her name, but unless I change my mind we don’t plan to share it until later on. {With these preggo hormones running rampant mind changing is a very real possibility… haha.} The sisters in law dubbed her baby Kate {Kassi + Nate} until we shared her name with them a few weeks ago. Her name won’t be Kate, but for now we’ll say it does start with a K like her mommy’s. So if you have any guesses, I would love to hear them??? 😉

We had originally planned on having a gender reveal party or something cute and fun, but when it came down to it getting everyone together for something like that wasn’t easily done and we were just way too excited to share. So we did. Most of our family found out via phone call or text message and we’ve told a few close friends as we’ve seen them since then.

I am THRILLED we are having a girl!!! I know it’s completely cliche to say that I didn’t care either way when we found out we were expecting, but at that point in time I really didn’t… The hubs was hoping for a boy… The team roper in him was hoping for a little partner I guess. But I say little miss has every opportunity to be a kick a$$ team roper just like her daddy!!! And just as good or better than any boy! Am I, right!?! 😉

So a girl it is… Bows, lace and horses! So excited for our little cowgirl to get here in July!!!
