It's a GIRL!

On April 2, 2012 Eric, Eden my Mom and I sat in the waiting room with the last minute decision to find out our second baby's gender! I have not been that anxious in I don't know how long! I truly thought that we would stick with the decision to wait until the birth! But Eric caved and we were convinced, not that it took much! She was breech, (not an issue this early on) and very curled up with her feet up by her face! We had a very thorough ultrasound with at least 15 minutes of it recorded. Eden insisted in nursing during the ultrasound and soon our sweet baby's face appeared on the screen! At the very end she decided to open her little legs and reveal that she was a little girl! We are so excited and happy to have a little sister for Eden. I can't wait to see the joy and happiness she brings to our family, like the sister before her does daily! The other Dr., the head of the place, came in and looked for a bit and also said she was a girl so I am pretty certain with two opinions that she is a little lady!
19 weeks along, ultrasound estimated 18 wks 3 days, approx. weight of 9 ounces, normal sized head, good size belly!
I dropped Daddy off at work. Then went by Baby Gap and felt a little Euphoric while browsing the adorable baby clothes for girls! We went to lunch with Gammy, Jo, Chase and Adalyn at El Arrio. (sp?!)

Later that week...

April 6, 2012
We had our next prenatal on this day and shared the news of our sweet little girl. I have successfully gained 10 lbs by 20 weeks, quite a feet considering how much I have to consume to gain weight, be healthy and continue to make breast milk for Eden. I have never been so proud to have gained 10 lbs in my life! The baby's heart rate was good and strong and in between 140-150 bpm. The baby kicked the doppler and someone else noticed how active she is. I measure 21 cm. A great check up. Eden also heard her "baby" with the doppler!

The next couple days were also great with my birthday Saturday and Easter on Sunday. So much good food and wonderful time spent with family and friends. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many loved ones. Eden found her Easter basket with great enthusiasm and also found 17 eggs of approximately 40 with three kids hunting! Everything was wonderful despite our colds!
