It's a GIRL!

I had my 18 week anatomy ultrasound yesterday morning at 9am. My mom was in town and by a lucky chance, so was Shawn!! So they were both able to be there as well as Savannah. It was awesome! I have been a little worried the past few weeks since I still am not feeling the baby move and I am still not showing, but all my worries were laid to rest when my baby came up on that screen. It turns out my placenta is in front which is why I am not feeling anything right now. Everything looked good. She is weighing 8 ounces and looks beautiful. We got some neat ultrasound pics and once Shawn scans them I will share them.

We were all pretty certain that I was having a boy, so when the lady said "it's a girl" we were all shocked and silent. Then we saw it for ourselves and the tears began. I wanted a girl so bad, but had come to terms that I was having a boy and was fine with it, so when she said it's a girl, I started to cry because I was so happy! I really wanted a sister for Savannah, and I got it!

It was pretty amusing having Savannah in the room. I know she really couldn't make out what was on the screen but she was amused none the less. I think she got more of a kick out of the jelly they put on my tummy. She was like "it's like the jelly on my toast!?" lol. I said no, it was belly jelly, so we could see the baby. lol But, it was awesome having all of them there to share that moment with Shawn and I. I am very grateful for the way the timing worked out, and I am more grateful for the new precious little girl growing in my tummy.

Now that we know it's a girl, we can commence with the grueling task of thinking of a name! =)
