Yep, another girl. Baby Beast will be joining our family soon, but not soon enough! Monster & Monkey were a little upset that it was not a baby brother (probably our fault). Monkey actually cried in the ultrasound room saying "but I want a baby brother not a baby sister." Monky was much more ok with the idea after we told her she could teach her how to play Little Mermaid! Monster was so great...she told Monkey that she'll love having a baby sister because Monkey is her favorite already & Baby Beast will be her other favorite!
Both girls were already kissing my tummy & saying "I love you Beast" before we left! OMGosh, I almost cried!!! Of course, they helped us pick out the names. Yes, we were hoping for a boy, but we're all getting used to the idea of another girl running around the house in a princess gown!
After the ultrasound we left for a GREAT beach trip to Oak Island! We went out on the beach 3 times. Not too bad for January, huh? We even took the girls out at 6:30 in the am to look for sand dollars since they were both up anyway. After about fifteen minutes of freezing my face off, of course we left. We also went to the Aquarium, OKI Lighthouse, and spent some time w/Matt's cousin.
Before we left Monday, it was about 50 degrees. The girls actually took their shoes off, rolled up their jeans and played in the surf!!! OMG, it was SOOO fun. We wanted to get hermit crabs, but NO ONE had them...not to mention most of the WINGS were closed anyway! I guess they aren't as popular in the winter. So, we'll get them when we get back, probably a LOT cheaper! Monster picked out "big girl" souvenirs (like pencils & a jewelry box) wherever we went. She didn't want stuffed animals or water squirting puffer fish like Monkey, LOL!!!
We hated to leave a day early, but we really didn't want to drive home in the snow Tuesday. BTW, how cool is it that we were playing in the sand & surf one day then making snowmen (even if they were only 6 in. tall) the next? The girls were AMAZED!!! I can't wait to take Baby Beast w/us this summer!
