It's a....

GIRL!!! I had my ultrasound on the 15th and we found out we are having another girl! We are so excited for her to come. Kevin was hoping for another girl, he would be in heaven if we had all girls. I was leaning towards a girl because I wanted Sarah to have a sister that would be close to her in age. I am best friends with my sister and I wanted that for Sarah. So we both got our wish. Of course there are lots of other benefits to having another girl as well. Like the fact that we won't have to buy anything to get ready for her and when baby #3 comes along it will be easier for the girls to share a room.

Right now we don't have a name picked out for her. It took us months to come up with Sarah's name so this is a very slow process for us.

The ultrasound went very well. Everything looks good with the baby. The ultrasound technician was impressed with how active she was. This video shows her from the belly down and you can see her kick boxing...boy did I feel it too!

My doctor is concerned about the location of the placenta. It is only 12mm away from my cervix. They like it to be at least 20mm away so there is concern about placenta previa. I will have another ultrasound done around 30 weeks to see if it is further away by then. If it's still too close when it comes time to deliver I will have to have a c-section. Let's hope for the best.

I am at 24 weeks right now and things are going well. This baby is definitely getting bigger and much more active. Sometimes she wakes me up at night with all her movement. Unfortunately I still have morning sickness. I am taking Zofran once a day but if I forget to take it I throw up the next day.

We keep telling Sarah that she is going to have a sister and she acts excited but I'm not sure how much she understands. She does know that mommy has a baby in her belly and she has even felt her kick a few times. Sarah loves to pat, hug and kiss my belly and wants to rub it all the time. I know she is going to be the best big sister and will be such a help to me as well. We are all so excited for this little one to come in May.
