Bump

Things are progressing perfectly with this pregnancy. Couldn't ask for anything better. Even though nothing scary had happened, and I've been told the baby is healthy, it's always such a releif when I get to hear the babies heart beat when I visit the Dr. And last month we got to see the baby again with our second trimester ultrasound.

The ultrasound tech went through her routine checking this and that, the eyes and lips and hands and feet and pretty much every body part until finally we got to find out that our baby is a she! We are having a girl! Which is so exciting and so scary. I certainly wasn't expecting her to say that, and might have even asked her if she was sure that's what we were having. But sure enough it's a girl. It's taken me a while to wrap my head around that fact. I've been preparing myself, in my mind, for a boy. Now I'm trying to focus on ribbons and dresses and pink, it's been quite a task. Again everything has been reported healthy, every little body part. Even every, not so little, body part of mine. I feel like I'm blowing up like a ballon and can't imagine getting any larger or my belly stretching any further. But in the next 3 1/2 months it's going to. We are so happy and excited and scared, and have a lot of work to do to get ready for baby girl.
