Baby Update!!

So after two attempts of looking, we finally know we're having a little GIRL!!! It was kind of a shock for me especially since everyone, including us, had thought we were gonna have a boy. We definitely thought wrong on that one. 

Unfortunately, this crazy girl takes after me and doesn't like cooperate when people are trying to take her picture, so I still have one more anatomy scan I have to go to since baby girl doesn't want to show us anything and they haven't gotten all the pictures they need. I'm hoping the upcoming one will be the last one for a while. The first one she was asleep, face-down in a ball. During the second one, she was moving around like crazy (because I had waffles with syrup for breakfast) So the poor ultrasound tech couldn't hardly ever get what she needed. Luckily the things that she did get have all looked great, so I wasn't worried that they needed to refer me to a perinatologist to get this next one done.

Now comes the hard part, finding a name for her. We've got a few that we like, but none have jumped out at us or anything. James and I want all of our kids to have Hawaiian middle names, and I do have one of those I like, but its not long enough for James, so if we used that one we'd have to give her two.  So much for trying to have short(ish) names haha :)

Within the last week or so I've been starting to feel her move around a little bit. Mostly when I'm laying in bed at the end of the day, trying to get her to move :) I've found that if I lay in just the right spot, I can feel her move around in there and it seems like she's almost hitting me to try and get me to move haha :) I'm looking forward to being able to feel bigger movements soon and hopefully get James to feel it too. He's been trying to see if he can feel her ever since I told him I felt her movin' around in there :) 

This week I'll reach the half-way point and be 20 weeks! Now there's just 20 more until we get to meet our little girl :)

Anatomy Scan!!!

I've been counting down. 

60 hours until we "hopefully" know if we are having a boy or a girl!!! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I've heard some ladies have gone to the emergency room and pretending something was wrong with them just so someone would give them an ultrasound. Honestly, over the last few days that has sounded like a completely logical thing to do :) but I won't do it. I'll just try to be patient and hopefully the little one cooperates and shows us the goods!!

 I need this next two and a half days to go by faster!! I can't wait to meet out little boy or girl :)
