It's A...

May 15th was our anatomy ultrasound that typically happens between 18-20 weeks in the pregnancy. The main purpose of this ultrasound is to make sure that the baby is developing well and that everything appears "normal". I think most people look forward to this ultrasound most to find out the sex of the baby.

The baby is developing nicely and I was happy to hear that I did not have placenta previa again this pregnancy. Because I had none of the risk factors when I was pregnant with Drake and because I had it once, the chances were greater that I would have previa this pregnancy. I just assumed that I would have it, so it was good to hear that the placenta is high and will only move higher.

So, the news that everyone wants to hear...it's a girl!

Again, this was a surprise to me. I have felt pretty much the same this pregnancy as I did with Drake, so I falsely just had in my mind that it was a boy. We are very excited that we're having a girl, although we would have been very excited had we been told it was a boy. Now to start the cleaning out process and making room for her to join our family and home.

These 3D images are pretty crazy (sorry it is on it's side, it is a picture of the ultrasound taken with my phone and apparently the blog did not like the format). It is amazing how many features you can see in this picture. Even though it is just a flip of the switch on the ultrasound machine, we do not have any of these images of Drake.
