21 weeks & 2 days!

Sorry it has been so long since I've been on, but, for the past 6 - 8 weeks now I have had a sinus infection or cold on and off and it's been driving me crazy!

March 19th I was really sick and ended up going to the doctor to see if there was anything they could do ...while I was there, they weren't able to find the heartbeat with the doppler yet again, so, I got another ultrasound!! Which was great, but I was scared to death...Everything was fine, baby's heartbeat was 158 beats per minute -- I also found out on that day that we are having a little baby GIRL!! We are sooo thrilled and excited and nervous...the list goes on!

Todd wasn't with me at this appointment b/c it was a spur of the moment thing and dad had to come get me from work - so I was all by myself...I didn't care though - everything looked perfect, so, I really couldn't complain...the u/s tech asked if I wanted to know what the sex was and I couldn't quite help myself!!

Then, on March 24th, we went back for our regular appointment to get an anatomy scan...since the Thursday before, I had lost 7 lbs., which put me at my exact weight when I first got pregnant...crazy!! Todd was with me this time and it was great! We got to sit and watch her for half an hour -- it was just amazing - she was rolling, kicking, moving her arms! They re-confirmed that she was a SHE...however, SHE was being very stubborn and they weren't able to get a good picture of her face because both hands were in front or beside of her face at all times! And they couldn't get a clear picture of all 4 chambers of the heart...they actually brought in 2 other drs to see if they could get clearer pictures than the u/s tech...no such luck --- they best thing about it is that we will get to go back when I'm 24 weeks (or April 21st) to have ultrasound #8 done! It's the best - I feel truly blessed to be able to see her almost every time that I go to the dr. I know that it is very uncommon!

So, other than the cold thing, everything has been going great for me! Todd is being a great help with the laundry and keeping the house straightened up, I really don't know what I would do without him...Now it's time to make plans for the baby shower and get the nursery decorated...I am sooo stoked about the new arrival of our BABY GIRL!!!!
