Ultrasound RESULTS...gender included :-)

We are very excited to announce that we are having a....

GIRL!
Yes, another little girl is headed our way and we are thrilled. I was honestly going to be happy either way because I can think of positives to having either another girl, or a boy. But we are getting a girl and can't wait to meet her! I'm halfways there....lol

The ultrasound was great. Everything measured right on track, and looked healthy. All the limbs were measuring good, the heart, the brain, etc. The heart rate was 149 or so. She was very active...much more active than Kaitlyn had been at her ultrasound. (Which I am not surprised about, because just in general I have thought this one seems more active...I feel her moving and bee-bopping around a lot more than I did with Kaitlyn. I can even already feel her from the outside now and then). Another difference this time is that she was not shy to show off her girly bits...Kaitlyn on the other hand was hiding them a little and although the u/s tech guessed that it was a girl, she was not near certain. This time it was way obvious. 3 lines = girl, and there were 3 lines...as clear as clear could be.

After the ultrasound we had our monthly appointment and I was excited to learn that I gained 3 lbs just like my doctor had wanted me to. I never thought I would be so proud of myself for gaining 3 lbs :-) So now I am only 12 lbs down from my pre-pregnancy weight, instead of 15. Go, me!!

My next appointment is May 19th, I will be 24 weeks. I can't believe how fast this is going!!
