It's a ....








We had our "Big" ultrasound this morning. I'm officially 18 1/2 weeks now. To tell you the truth I wasn't really looking forward to it. If you're not finding out- it's not nearly as fun. You drink water till you think you'll explode, pee your pants, or both. Then you wait and pray as they check over each organ. We told the tech we weren't going to find out. Not that I didn't want to, in fact I half hoped she'd slip up. I even thought I heard her say "she" then "he." I was looking at everything and thought I saw girl parts, then boy parts, then girl parts again.

This waiting thing is so not me. But we did it!!! I know we made the right decision because two complete strangers today alone have expressed their hopes and wishes for us to have a boy. Like having a boy would be like winning the lottery. We just want healthy. I think this is a lesson God is trying to teach me. I'm not good at being teased. 100% honesty, I'm looking forward to another girl. And the main reason I'd like a boy is so that the rest of my life I'm not teased for having 3 girls. So if it comes to pass then I'll know God is trying to tell me to suck it up and learn to laugh at myself a little more.
So here are a few pictures of our little darling. It was so fun to watch her move and open and close her mouth. The baby flipped around twice while we were there. I've been feeling things for about 3 weeks but it's fun to have them confirmed!
