It's a girl!

Well, I went for my sonogram today. I was sooo nervous about this one. I was going by myself and having to take Alex by myself with a check up following. I thought it would be very stressful. But God answered my prayers yet again and it went so smoothly. You would not believe. I got there a little before 9:45 for my sono and got in pretty quickly. I tried to manage my water consumption this time so I had a full enough bladder but I wasn't dying to pee. And, it was just right. Turns out for me it works to drink 16 oz 45 minutes before hand. Then, after my sono I had about 50 minutes before my normal checkup appointment. I was thinking that Alex was going to freak out and get uber grumpy having to wait. We went out to the car and I buckled him in while I made my phone calls. I called about all of my family to tell them the news. Alex was just starting to get grumpy when it was time to go back in. Usually at these visits you have to wait forever to get in in the first place and then you have to wait forever for the doctor to come in. Well, this time I got in right away and I saw a nurse practitioner who came in right away. They ask the normal questions and we listened to the heartbeat and that was it. I got out of there before 11:00. Amazing record time! If you've been pregnant before then you know how these appointments can go sometimes especially when you have a 2 yr old with you.

Anyway, on to the exciting news. I was totally expecting to be having another boy. I was trying not to get my hopes up for a girl. So, when the sono tech brought up the pic of the vjj, not really knowing what I was looking at, I said it's a boy isn't it. She says no it's a girl! I am sooo excited! Our sono tech seemed really happy for us cause she was the one that did the sono when we miscarried. And, she's done a bunch of ours with this pregnancy too. Our little girl looks very healthy. She has all of her little parts. I had told her before hand that she is soo active. Always moving around. And, during both the sonogram and listening to the heartbeat she was wiggling around like crazy.

I'm so excited to get to buy little girl baby clothes! I'm totally starting early! Hey, I'm going to walmart today maybe I'll have to get some there. haha! I have to wait till Nathan comes home from work around 4:45 to tell him. He wanted for me to tell him in person. I think I'll let him look at the pictures and see for himself. The technician said over and over it's definitely a girl. So that's good. Hopefully she doesn't grown a little member in the next few months. lol!
