It's a...

I have been so excited for this day to come! We went in to the doctor for our ultrasound appointment, along with our parents and my siblings. After almost an hour of measuring, checking for the brain, heart, and kidneys, the ultrasound technician finally asked if we wanted to know the gender. Let's just say that the "little one" was quite active and kept on moving when he was trying to see if it was a boy or girl. After many attempts and a few photos, he said that he couldn't say for sure, but he thought that we were probably having a girl. I guess this is quite common, where the baby does not cooperate, so they can't tell for sure. To be honest, I was a bit bummed that he couldn't tell the gender for certain, but we are going with "It's a Girl", and couldn't be more happy! We don't have a name picked out yet, but I am sure we will have one very soon. We also found out that I am a week further along than they thought, so at this point I am actually 19 weeks, not 18.

When our families came in, Sophia looked at me with concern when she saw me lying on the hospital bed. We pointed out to her, her new little sister moving around on the screen. Of course she wasn't quite sure what she was looking at, but it was neat to have her there! It will be so fun having two little girls running around. I am so excited to see what she looks like in comparison to Sophia and also to see what her personality is like. The last few days she has been getting more and more active and likes to move and kick the most at night, or right when I'm lying down to go to bed. I absolutely love the feeling and smile every time I feel her. It is the coolest feeling in the world!

Jeff and I feel so blessed to have one healthy, beautiful little girl and another on the way! We are so excited for her to arrive and know two kids will be a handful, but we can't wait to experience the journey all over again!
