24 Weeks

Well today was my 24 week check up. All went well, the baby is growing like a weed, the heartbeat is strong, and all of my stats are good. One thing different about this pregnancy is that I am actually gaining weight!!! Typically I lose weight, but with this little one I have gained a total of 9 pounds! While I know most moms out there scoff at a 9 pound weight gain, it is a little disheartening to me. My doctor isn't worried and told me that I am doing just fine, but still... 9 lbs! /sigh

Last month when I went in to have my sono the baby was stubborn and decided that we didn't need to know the gender yet. So this month the sono tech squeezed me in for a minute to see if we could see any boy/ girl parts.

For those that have a hard time seeing what is in the sono pics, you are looking at the baby's thighs (knees pulled to chest) and bottom, similar to the view you would have changing a diaper. You can see the baby's head on the bottom right of the picture, and one little hand at the top by the knees.


It was a pretty clear view today that baby #3 is little girl!!!
