Well 22 weeks has almost come and gone. We found out on Feb. 26th that we are having a girl!! Kyle and I both knew we were having a girl, so it really was no surprise. She was "head down" for the ultrasound and we got nice clear pictures of everything. She has a nice looking brain, spine, heart and sweet little face.
If you've never had an ultrasound, you may look at pictures and think "gee it looks just like an X-ray." It is really more 3D than that...she turned and looked at us during the procedure and both Kyle and I looked at each other...we were shocked how much she looked just like him. It's almost creepy! But she looked really good and that's all that matters.
I get kicked about a billion times a day now, and finally starting to get used to it. She's "gunna be a soccer player." Kyle thinks he may have felt a kick, but who can say? Sometimes she must get an extreme boost of energy...I see my stomach go up when she kicks.
We went to Target to register for our items. There are some really great baby items I hope to have, whether I get them myself of as shower gifts. We've settled on a nursery theme...we're doing a Butterfly Garden. The colors are all shades of pastels. I think she'll like that. And if the ultrasound tech was wrong and she's a boy, then well just he'll just have to learn to love butterflies! We'll be getting another ultrasound in April...those fun 3D ones. I look forward to seeing those pictures.
So I'll get going now, I'll post a picture of the ultrasound. She's about 5 months "old" in this picture and she is laying on her back with the top of her head at the bottom right of the screen. She has her mouth open, either smiling or yawning and you can see just how much she looks like Kyle
