Ultrasound & Winner Results

Let me just start off by saying that I am absolutely thrilled after today's ultrasound! I would even say be-Yond thrilled! We are expecting a beautiful baby that we didn't even know we wanted! And we're in love.

So on to the results... can you tell from the profile?
Girlish, more boyish?

How about from the toesy woesies?!
I have to say that I fell head over heels, wholeheartedly in love with this baby *just* from this picture! I love me some baby feets!!
Has there ever been a more perfect footprint... ever?
And just check out these digits!
Sturdy and rugged? or Slender and refined?

Well, here's the shot that matters!
The baby cooperated and let us peek where we were hoping to peek!

It's a....

She was rockin' a heart beat of 149 - which means that "Chelsea" is the winner! She guessed it right on the dot!

Thank you all for reading and playing along! I love sharing my excitement with you!

Chelsea - please email me at stellabdesigns@yahoo.com so that we can discuss details for your winnings!!!

Get your Guesser's Warmed Up!

It's been awhile since I've done a giveaway.

Waaaay too long, if you ask me.
Since Facebook has been cracking down on the contests/giveaways held on their site, I have opted to just hold this one directly from the blog. I might as well add in this disclaimer, while I'm at it: “This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook.... er, or Blogger, for that matter.”

I am so excited about finding out the sex of our 4th baby so we'll make this a guessing contest! The person closest to guess the gender AND heart rate at tomorrow's ultrasound, will be the winner! If there aren't any exact guesses on the heartbeat, we'll go with the closest number, without going over!

Up for grabs: $20 store credit to Stella B Designs!

That means you can get one of these...

or these...

or even one of these beauties!

You *could* also opt for one of these...
these,
or these! However,

you would be responsible for any costs exceeding the $20 store credit. (I will invoice you via PayPal for the remaining balance.)
Store credit is good towards shipping and will be good for 3 months. If you select something and your total is less than $20, your remaining credit will also be good for 3 months!

To enter:
Leave a comment on this blog post with your Gender and Heart Rate guess.
For example: Girl / 162
Within the same comment, please also leave me your email address or SOME WAY to get a hold of you should you have the winning guess. I would love it if you were a follower of my blog, however, you *should* be able to leave a comment as a guest!

You can also email me your guesses/entries to stellabdesigns@yahoo.com!

Fine print on guesses: Due to the nature of the guessing game, duplicate heart rate guesses will be considered on a first comment, first serve basis. For example, if I have 3 commenters that guess "Girl / 158" and that is the winning combo, then the first person to guess that combo will be the winner.

A little more fine print: One guess per commenter!!

More fine print: If, for some reason, the baby doesn't cooperate and we are unable to determine the sex, then the contest will be held over until my next u/s - later in the month - exact date TBA!

A Stella B's First

I have been getting a lot of new pictures from photographers and I just wanted to share some from Brittney Wood Photography!
Brittney is the first photographer that I ever worked with. I was shy and unsure how the swaps are supposed to work but am so glad that I took the step out and contacted her. These next couple photos are some of the first I ever had photographed by a professional. Thanks to Brittney's wonderful work I was able to gain some confidence and begin to grow my business.

"These make my ovaries quiver, " is exactly what I said upon seeing this precious boy in the Charlie Bear beanie.

This next one is a new one she sent me!

When Brittney contacted me late last year and told me she was going to have an influx of babies this spring, I was super excited to create some items for her. One of the items she loosely requested was a square tassle beanie.

I had the perfect yarn to create a gorgeous gender neutral beanie. Her photography does an excellent job at catching the different shades and hues. I wish you could feel this yarn! So soft and dreamy. Perfect for a newborn!

One of my new favorites!

If I weren't already pregnant this one would definitely have me dragging The Hubs upstairs. (TMI, huh?) Lookit the lips and that precious little tongue!

I love the processing on this one... making it a little softer and even more dreamy.

And she threw this one in there! I'm pretty sure we've never discussed it before, but I have quite the obsession with baby feets! I love how the Leg Lovies play an accompanying role to those scrumptious little piggies! nom nom nom

You can check out more of Brittney's new relatives by checking out her BlOg!!

Thank you so much, Brittney!! It is definitely my pleasure to know you!
