We're having...


A little girl!!! I still can't believe it.. Little Anna Marie :) The appointment for the ultrasound was not one of the best days - I had a ridiculously full bladder when I got to the office, 1o minutes before my appointment and then had to wait another hour before I was seen! I was in tears in the waiting room because I was in so much pain. Luckily the tech let me partially empty my bladder before we got started. (I definitely would have peed on her table) But once we got started she found the little one right away and started attempting to get all of the measurements she needed for the dr. I say attempted because Anna was less than helpful in sitting still. The entire ultrasound lasted for an hour and included me rolling on both sides in hope of capturing the right images for measurements. Tony was literally crawling onto the table to get a better view at the screen and just could not get over how much you could see! And at the very end she zoomed in on the part between the legs and asked Daddy what he thought it was - he guessed girl and was right! At the time of the ultrasound I still hadn't felt her move - the tech told me it was probably a blessing because she had a feeling that once I started feeling it, it was going to be a 24/7 occurence. Well, as of Monday I have felt her move - A LOT. The girl's gonna be an acrobat or something. I thought I felt some fluttering Monday morning, and then Monday night was jabbed multiple times while laying in bed with either a fist or a foot. And now I write this at 4 am because I got up to pee and evidently so did Anna. She's at her somersaults already today! But the actual feeling doesn't keep me awake - just the thought that that's my daughter in there :)
