We're having a baby!!

So we've known since March but just haven't posted it, I guess. My due date was November 21st, which meant I should have been 19 weeks and 4 days along for my ultrasound today. However, the baby measured more like 17 weeks and 5 days along. So they might change my due date to December 5th. They'll let me know next time. I'm okay with that. I wish they would have changed Brooklyn's due date because it was torture when she came 11 days "late." I bet my due date was just off. It also makes it less frustrating that I'm still feeling nauseated if I don't take Unisom before bed. I mean, I'm not as far along as I thought so it's not as abnormal to still be feeling sick.

I felt the baby moving really early. They say you feel a second baby earlier because you know what you're looking for, but I was feeling the baby move when (I thought) I was only 14-15 weeks! It turns out the placenta is attached to the back of my uterus. Brooklyn's was on the front so it acted as more of a barrier and I didn't feel it as well when she would kick me. So that's why I felt this baby so much earlier.

Everything looked perfect on the ultrasound. Because I wasn't quite as far along as they thought, the technician wasn't able to tell if the baby has a cleft palate or not. So I'll get another ultrasound in a few weeks to make sure that's okay. Anyway, without further delay...

It's a girl!!!

I was so surprised! I had wanted a girl, but had convinced myself that a little boy would be fun too so that I wouldn't be disappointed. I think I must have actually gotten excited about a boy because I was just a little bit sad when I heard it was a girl. But I think it will be great for Brooklyn to have a sister. I love having mine. And she can still use our pink stroller! =) Now the problem is coming up with a name. We had one for a boy, but are pretty much wide open for little girls. So any suggestions are greatly appreciated! I want it to mean something like Brooklyn's does. Or at least a middle name that means something. (Family, religion, etc.)

The first picture is of the baby looking right at us. She looks kind of scary because you can only see her bones. I like profile pictures much better, but we didn't get any of those this time. The second is her heartbeat and the third is the proof! =) We are so excited for another little girl in our family!!

P.S. Tawni, I'll race ya. =)
