Well last week was a busy one. On Tuesday, the 23rd we had our long waited Ultrasound to get some better measurements but also to finally find out if we are having a boy or a girl. So we found out we are having a GIRL!!! So excited. Her name is Olivia Cole Domingo. She is looking good the technician told us everything looks great. She weighs about 1 pound 9 os which is normal, fluid is good heart looks great and was 152 bpm, so YAY!!! So excited she's healthy and we can start buying pink:)
Tuesday after we found out we made a bee line for Wal-mart and did some pink shopping, couple cute sleepers and pretty little fancy shoes with a head bow for her coming home outfit and a cute little pinked stuffed bunny that says the Lord's prayer!! So much fun!! Then we went for Chinese food, this little girl is definitely Daddy's little girl since I got pregnant I have craved more Chinese food than I have in my entire life and he Daddy loves Chinese food, after food we had our first birthing class. It was really great there are 8 other couples in our group and every couple but 1 is having a girl and 1 of those couples is having twin girls!! We learned alot and had so much fun. By the end of the day we were tired but went home and set up the new pink blanket in the bassinet and put Olivia's new pink outfits away:)
Thursday was our next big day with our doctor's appointment. Dr. Bloom is our family doctor who also delivers babies and will be her doctor after she is born, we love him he is great!!! I put on a few pounds, not mentioning how many, but he said that was okay since I had lost some and put none on since week 12. We got to hear the heartbeat again and it sounds so beautiful:) He measured me and says everything is going great. My glucose test was normal but because of my weight and family history he wants me to check it again in a month. So that appointment was a success as well.
Just a couple quick things Angel is feeling the baby move more and more now which he loves. He so wanted a little sleeper in pink that says "I am not a boy" but couldn't find it in the size, he was so disappointed I finally ordered it on wal-mart.com so it should be here next week, he's so funny I love him so much:) Olivia is moving more regularly now and I feel her alot more as well.
We just feel so amazingly blessed not just because we are finally pregnant but because the pregnancy is going so great, our Doctor is awesome, Our ultrasound tech, Brenna, is awesome, our little girl is healthy and strong, we have amazing family and friends who are all so excited for us and with us. We just feel so very blessed and want to give God all the glory and Praise for this amazing Child and everything that has come along with her:)
I have attached some pictures of the Ultrasound, my growing tummy, and the new addition I made for her nursery this past weekend. Hope you enjoy and I will keep updating as things happen, I will also take some pictures of her cute outfits and any funny happenings as we go along. Thank you all so much for your love and support we love you so very much!

Hey, gorgeous!
I remember having to repeat the blood glucose test. The first one I did was a one-hour test and the results were supposedly "high" but fine. The three hour test that I did later on was a total pain in the arse and not only painful but generally a bummer. I was told that one of the three numbers from that was okay, but the other two were "borderline" and thus I was scheduled to have yet ANOTHER needle-rific three-hour test in a few weeks. The second test required a much more strict fasting schedule the night/day before, which as I'm sure you know BITES when you aren't the only one hungry. ;) Luckily the numbers were all "okay" or whatever that's supposed to mean, and I didn't have to have another test. I now intend on doing my best to lose some weight and get into better shape before we try again so that hopefully I don't need to go through all that again! Not to mention all the problems for the baby that gestational diabetes can cause, yikes. Once Olivia's here and things have settled down, let me know, and you and I can work on being Hot Mamas together! Support is awesome. If you need anything, gorgeous, let me know! Much love from way across the USA.

Dom,
I am so excited for the two of you. God is so incredible. Oh we of little faith! I just want you to know that your faith has been a huge inspiration to me.
Olivia's name on the wall looks awesome! Did you paint those yourself? I love it! I can see you're all ready and waiting, but then again, you've been ready and waiting for a really long time! Praise God from whom all blessings (and miracles) flow!
