It's a GIRL!

It’s a…  GIRL!  Yep, looks like we broke the track record!!! It’s been a long time since the Schachle family has welcomed a new baby girl into the family.  Mrs.Lynn is overjoyed… she finally gets to buy something PINK! I think we were both a little shocked to find out we were having a girl. Jake maybe a lot shocked. Lol. The first thing that went through my mind was we get to play dress up!

Now the fun begins. We get to start thinking about names and planning a nursery. We already have a few girl names in mind and hopefully can share her name with everyone within the next few weeks.

Our appointment on Friday went great. It was absolutely amazing to see this baby girl on the ultrasound moving all around. After a few flips she got snuggled up and literally folded in half. Below is a picture of her practicing gymnasticsJ.  Due to her position the ultrasound tech was unable to get a good image of her entire spine. That means we get another ultrasound within the next 1-2 weeks. I am so ready to see her again!

Jake and I decided to keep baby Schachle’s gender a surprise until Saturday night. We invited family and friends out to dinner and had a special dessert planned. Dessert was chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with pink filling. Each cupcake had a question mark on top. We went around the room and asked for everyone’s guess… 8 people said boy and 8 people said girl.  The countdown started- 3,2,1… then everyone bit into their cupcake! The room was filled with “ITS-A-GIRL, IT’S-A-GIRL!!” Everyone was so excited and half of the crowd shocked!

We had a few friends come to visit this weekend for our big announcement. Christin, Jason, Laura, Jeff, and baby Evan traveled to Fuquay for the event.  It is always a blast getting together and seeing everyone. It has been a few weeks since the last time we’ve seen Evan… and man is she growing. My favorite is her little chubby rolls! She is so CUTE! Evan is 5 and ½ months and sitting up all by herself, rolling over, eating baby food, and full of the cutest little baby giggles. Matt, Stacy, and Declan also joined us for the fun. Declan who is 3 is all boy and loves to get in Jake’s hunting closet and “Pow- Pow” the deer! He was so sweet playing with baby Evan. He shared all his toys with her and even tried to make her laugh by blowing the duck call walking around dressed in his camouflage.

Tax season will soon be over!! 3 more weeks and I get my husband back! I know Jake is ready to get out of that office and into the woods. This weather is getting the turkeys and Jake fired up. Hopefully these next few weeks will be a breeze for him and he can finally get some rest.
