The Very Exciting Ultrasound!!

I know all of you avid blog readers out there can hardly believe that we could post more than once in a week...or in a month for that matter...but here it goes.

So yesterday we had a doctors appointment, nothing special, just routine. We did have an ultrasound, but it was not even an ultrasound of the fetus. They were just supposed to be checking out a little lump I have had for a while on my chest. Well...we were pretty much working it with the cute ultrasound technician and mentioned that we hoped that we had her for our next big "20 week ultrasound" to find out the gender. She had totally cleaned me up and put everything away, and at the last minute she said, "Well maybe we should just take a peek and see if we can tell what you are having." Keep in mind that I am only 16 1/2 weeks along. We were so excited and said that we would love to check and see. So sure enough our baby was giving us a pretty ideal crotch shot and the technician said she was 90% sure that we are having a little girl!! Wow! What a great doctors visit!

We honestly have gone back and forth on what we thought we were having. For a while at the beginning I really thought it was a boy, but in the past week I have thought alot about a little girl and so has Billy. In fact just the night before last I thought, "If I am having a little boy, I never want to have a little girl because I cannot be any more sick than I am now." This must be Heavenly Fathers way of telling me that I can do it. It is such a pain and such a miracle to be pregnant. Just this week as I was stretching with one of my dance classes I thought that I felt the baby move. I could be just imagining things...but it was so wonderful! And I am even starting to pooch a little. (not quite as wonderful and magical as I thought it would be...it just looks like I have a spare tire) Finally physical manifestations of what has been making me so sick for so long!! So bring on the pink ribbons and little baby tu-tu's...now the baby name search is on!
