Well, I went though the closet and her room today. It was very unorganized, so I took some boxes (a diaper box and the Bumbo box) and put the clothes that are too big in one, and the clothes that are too small in the other. My little girl is pretty small, so there hasn't been a whole lot that she has grown out of. The too big box is stuffed full, and the too small box only has about 5 or 6 outfits in it :) I was particularly sad to put 2 sleepers in the too small box. One was the one that we found out she was a girl, and the other was one that caught my eye every time we went into the store, even though we thought she was a boy at first!
So we decided we wanted to find out if we were having a boy or a girl ahead of time. We figured we could get the room ready and buy the right kind of clothes. But we didn't want to find out by a tech telling us while I lay on a table. So during the ultrasound, she asked us if we wanted to know the sex. We said yes, but I asked her to write it down and put it in an envelope. We took the envelope to the store and picked out a gift bag, a blue onesie and a pink onesie. We took everything up to the cashier, gave her the envelope, and told her to look at the envelope and put the right onesie into the bag and seal it up. We would be back to pay for it. The cashier kept saying how weird it was, but by the time we got back, she thought it was pretty cool. We told her that we were going to open the gift up on our first wedding anniversary. So the bag sat on the mantel for over a month! It was SO hard not to look. We thought we were having a boy, but I kept dreaming about pink. I even had a dream that I moved the bag, and it was open, and I accidentally saw inside, and it was PINK! In the dream I was like OMG Hubby is going to think I looked on purpose! So a month later, our anniversary came. We told everyone that we were going to open our gifts after supper, but when we got up, we obviously couldn't wait. We opened the gift up, and there was a PINK onsie in it!!!!! We were so excited!!!!! I am not a crier, but I cried. I was so happy. Hubby teared up, although he will say he didn't LOL. After that, we went out for breakfast with my mom and step dad. We actually had the bag with us in the car, but didn't let them know. We pretended we didn't know anything yet. That was SO hard!! After breakfast, we went to my brother's house and got him to open it up. He was shocked. He thought it was a boy. I think he may have been a little disappointed because he said before he didn't really know what to do with a girl, but he loves her like crazy. Then we packed everything back up again and took it to mom's. We filmed her as she opened it up with my step dad. She was SO excited. I think she teared up too :) And then we took it over to my grandmother's house and got her to open it up. We took pictures of her opening the gift up. It was so cool to be there when each person found out. If we waited till she was born, then only hubby would be able to see everyone's reaction when everyone found out. But this way I was able to find out. That night, friends brought a gift over for us, and we showed them the onesie. It really was one of the best days of my life. We dressed her up in that sleeper to take her home too. It was WAY too big for her LOL So it was very bittersweet to put that away :(
