Daddy's Little Girl....
Okay, so we're finally feeling movement. It's a GREAT feeling. I get so giggled to feel her move, little bouts of gas she gets, etc. I love it. However, when she decides to get super active right when I want to sleep because "she" isn't comfortable, that's when I'm not the happiest.
So, last weekend I had a trip with my cheerleaders. We left out on a Friday afternoon to travel to Greenville for the night. We stayed in a VERY nice hotel, the Staybridge Suites, and the beds were AMAZING! I couldn't wait to lie down and get some much needed sleep that night. Well, Dixie couldn't sleep. She was trying to find her daddy all night long! Just hear me out, I'm not crazy....REALLY! Usually when I wake up in the middle of the night (usually because Dixie gets a little rowdy) Joey will rub my belly, or at least ask how his little princess is doing. He gives her some attention. So, she kept waking me up. A good swift kick and wiggling around would wake me up. I would roll over to the other side trying to make her happy. It was as if she was reaching out for him, trying to get in a little touch. This went on all through the night. All she wanted was a sweet word or a soft touch from him. It was truly adorable, but at the same time....kind of a pain. I hope she doesn't have him all wrapped up already!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!
Well, that's right....It's a Girl! I'm not going to say I'm upset, because I"m not upset. I was truly just confused. Baby Dixie will be the second Humble girl in five generations. Joey's little sister was the first in four generations. So, we just expected a boy. So much so, there are boy clothes hanging in Dixie's future closet! :) So, it's just a mindset change. My favorite color is blue, and I love sports. So, I guess Dixie will be a good ol country girl that loves sports and wears blue a lot. My other big thing (take note if you're planning to buy gifts) is I don't like the color pink. It's an okay accent color, with black and brown, etc. However, when I look in the little girl's section of a department store I want to throw up from the overwhelming sea of PINK! :( I'm not a girly girl, I never really was. So, will I set up my daughter to be too tomboy, unaccepted by others.
I keep getting nervous about how bad of a child I was to my mother. I pray she isn't anything like me. I want her to have my brains, and Joey wants her to have my hair. Beyond that, she needs his personality and his childhood. She needs to be a good kid, like he was.
So, all in all, I'm just getting those "i'm going to be a parent" jitters. All these things most people question before now, I have them now. I'm scared to death to have a little girl. At the same time, I'm really excited to see her beautiful face and adorable smile.
Wish me luck! I'll update pictures soon!
