It's A Girl! (we think)

   Well, we had a pretty unexpected day! We visited Dr. Aguayo for my 16 week check-up. Nothing special was suppose to happen, but everyone kept asking us if today was the day of the ultrasound that would determine the baby's sex. We decided to share this news with the doctor and she asked us if we wanted to take a look...duh!!!! For about 8 minutes she looked at every possible angle and she thinks it's a girl! We are so excited, but we would have been just as happy if she said it was a boy!
   Our actual ultrasound is November 30th. At that appointment the ultrasound will last for about 30 minutes and they will take measurements of the baby, determine that the due date is still on track, and tell us if it is definitely a girl or a boy.
   As for me, I'm still doing fine and she even complimented me on maintaining a healthy weight gain...only 2 pounds since the last visit! Wooo Hooo!
   I can't believe we are going to have a daughter! I posted some pictures of her below, but they are not very clear. All of the arrows are pointing to the sex! But picture #4 is the profile of our baby girl's face!
   I'm so excited to share these with everyone! I love and miss you guys!!

We Heard the Heartbeat

Hi Everyone! We had our second appointment with Dr. Aguayo today. She went over my blood test from the previous visit and everything is perfect. Yay for me not having any crazy diseases! We also got to hear the baby's heartbeat today. Brandon and I were both a little choked up...okay, I was REALLY choked up! I guess it's just reassuring to know that everything is still normal and okay since I can't feel anything going on inside. I would be lying if I said I didn't worry about it sometimes. I also hate to admit this, but I've gained 6 pounds since my last visit. However, they did say that was normal. The nurse told us a 20-25lb weight gain was normal, but Dr. Aguayo said that a 30-35lb wight gain is what she normally sees. Let's hope I stay in the 20-25 pound range! Brandon took a photo of me yesterday. I'm not huge yet, but you can definitely tell my belly is getting bigger. Till next time, I love and miss you all!
