Another week, another milestone. This past week we had our “big” ultrasound where they take a closer look at how the baby is forming. The initial visit went good and today I got a phone call that the radiologist reviewed everything and it all looks great! Even though I was 21 weeks at my visit, the baby measured 22 weeks and 3 days. Yowzers. She also weighs a whopping 1 pound, 2 ounces. My suspicions about having a big baby keep getting stronger. Probably the most exciting thing (besides the baby looking healthy of course) is that we confirmed we are indeed having a GIRL! I celebrated by driving out to the country this weekend and adding to my vintage baby collection. Adorable dresses for a quarter? Yes, please. We’ve also decided on a name, which I’m sure I’ll be sharing shortly. Till then, here are a few photos from week 21…

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today has been intense for sure. We’ve had so much rain that it actually started to flood the streets, yards, and even some buildings. So of course it’s a perfect day for an ultrasound! Todd and I went in for my second ultrasound this afternoon and even though it’s still early, the technician said she was “pretty darn sure” we’re having a little girl! Of course there’s always a chance that it could be wrong, but the little one was in perfect position for us to take a looksie. We’ll confirm at our next ultrasound appointment when I’m further along, but for now I can’t help but get excited about some PINK.

During the ultrasound she moved around like crazy, sucked her finger, kicked my insides, posed for some pictures, and kind of waved to us. I loved it. And yes, I cried. Boy or girl, I’m just so happy that so far everything looks great. I’m actually measuring further along than I thought by almost a whole week. My due date is now October 6, which just so happens to be… my birthday!

I’ll post a weekly update at some point, but now that I’m technically 16 weeks and 5 days I guess I’ll be missing my 16th week post! Works for me. That just means we’ll get to meet our little girl that much sooner!
