It’s a girl! We had our ultrasound this week and I was totally surprised, I thought for sure it was a boy. I suppose you only really know for sure once kiddo is here, but everything is looking good. They weren’t able to get all the pictures of the heart they needed (angles just weren’t right) so when I go back again next month I’ll get another ultrasound.

Blood pressure is good, my usual 130/80. It’s slightly on the normal/high end so we’re keeping an eye on it. I’m feeling good though, working out at the Y and keeping up with the Benjamin. He actually came with us to the ultrasound and was fascinated by all the monitors and computers. I’ve told him “there’s a baby in my tummy” and he just looks at me like I’m nuts. And then Andy told him “Mommy ate a baby”…thanks Andy…

Definitely starting to notice the belly more as I bend over and grab things, but it’s not too much in the way yet. So weird to think of “it” as a girl now. I don’t really know how to do princesses, dresses and braids…but if she’s into that, then we have time to figure it out :)
