Not so pleasant pregnancy symptoms
Disclaimer: If you’re the type of person who squirms at the thought of buying a box of tampons or at women experiencing bodily functions, this is not the post for you.

Hello, Josephine!
Before the tech even said the words, I knew–we were having a little girl who now had a name, Josephine. Though I did not cry, my eyes welled up with tears of happiness. Something about that moment forever changed my world. We are going to have a little girl, and my thoughts drifted to Easter dresses complete with white gloves, tights and bonnets and princess themed birthday parties–though we hope she also takes an interest in sports, etc. We then saw our first glimpse of her perfect little face. The 4D technology is so amazing, I already think she looks like Trent did in his baby photos. And speaking of Trent, I’ve never seen someone so excited to be a father. Afterward he admitted he had really been hoping for a baby girl all along.
