IT'S A....

GIRL! :-) I had my US yesterday. There were supposed to be 3 people going w/ me, but it slowly trickled down to just my mom. Which was great after we got to that room b/c it was SO small. It was amazing getting to see this booger finally, but she wouldn't stay very still. In fact she moved so much I have to go back in for another US, b/c they couldn't get a picture of her heart. *sigh* She's going to be a mover... and a runner... and probably a screamer. Oh well, it's what Im' prepared for since Carlos & I both were hyper active kids. Of course now we both like to sit around on the computer, but childhood... different story! Her HB was around 154 I believe. I was in awe so I don't remember exactly. Hopefully Carlos will get to go w/ me to the next US sound though since it's on the 30th & if he is coming home to help me move he should be back by then. I'll have 2 appts that day. My first is w/ my Dr, just a check up @ 10. The other is the US @ 2. It's going to be a busy busy day then. Let's just say I'm not drinking any caffeine this time, and I'm going to try to remember to not drink any the day before.

Everyone keeps asking me now what we're naming her. What names have we come up with. I mean we have one picked out that will (90% sure) end up being what we call her, but that doesn't mean I want to share it with the world right now. I still have almost 5 months to go, and the name could change at any given moment. We're also going to have a boy name picked out just in case. I've heard though that if they tell you it's a girl, then it's a girl. It's only when they tell you it's a boy that it can change.

Ok so now on to how I told Carlos. I decided that it was best for him and me to find out together, even though he couldn't be there. I had the nurse write down what it was on a note card, fold it in 1/2, and seal it in an envelope. The nurse also sealed the pictures of in between her legs. 2 hours later I finally got to open it on Skype w/ Carlos. Mind you my mom knew the entire time. She was the only one that did, besides the nurse. After I untapped the envelope I closed my eyes, pulled out the note card, opened it, and asked Carlos, "What does it say?" "It's a girl," was the answer he gave me. :-) I had to laugh in his face just a little bit since I was victorious in the "what sex is the baby game." Hey he started it!!
