Baby #3

I guess it is about time I post something about the new little baby we are expecting.

If you haven't already heard/read the news on facebook Baby #3 will be making it's arrival to our family mid-late November. (Official due date is Dec. 1, but I have yet to make it to my due date with either of my kids). So I am going with November :)

All four of us piled into the ultrasound room last week and we were able to see this cute little face:

Going into the ultrasound, both Taylor and Parker were dead set on wanting a little girl. We had to keep reminding Taylor that it might be a boy. She didn't like that idea.
She did whisper to Troy during the ultrasound that she would be okay if it were a boy or a girl. So that was comforting that she would have been 'ok' with a boy.

But she didn't have to settle. A few minutes in, the tech announced it was a girl and from then on you would hear random giggles and squeals of delight coming from the older {very excited} big sister. Then she wanted to go home :)

The money shot:

It's a GIRL!The tech said this little one was not shy about revealing that she was a girl. I like to think because she constantly had her feet up by her face or curled up so tight, it wouldn't be very hard to see she was a girl :)

Right before we left one of the last images we saw were of her curled so tightly into a ball that her feet were by her head. As you were looking at her 'calves' you saw her little head peaking between her two legs!
Maybe we have a little gymnast on our hands?!??!?!

And, then there is what Mommy (aka Me) looks like at 20 weeks:

A few facts about this pregnancy:

*I have been SICK! I can count on one hand for BOTH Taylor and Parker's pregnancy how many times I threw up....three. With this one, it's a pretty safe bet to say just about every night leading up to week 18! I have been getting better though. A few nights I feel fine, then a bad night.

*From the moment we found out we were pregnant, I always had a feeling it was a girl. Then I started doubting my feeling the week before the ultrasound. Maybe I was trying to convince myself that a boy would be 'ok' also :) Just kidding, I would have been completely fine with either gender. But I am excited it's a girl! :)

*I have heard alot that three kids is extremely hard. I had a hard time adjusting to two kids. So I am pretty much terrified of having three! At least the other two are older. Taylor will be just shy of 6 and Parker will be 3.5.

*We have no idea on names. Clueless.

*I am 98.9% certain this is our last. There is something about gaining/losing the baby weight AND losing your body for 9 months that I hate. But I do love being able to feel the baby move and to nurse. I just love being able to stay at home and nurse my babies. Call me crazy.

*This is my first baby that I was 'bigger' in the summer. Thus, when my regular clothes started getting too tight I didn't own a single pair of maternity capris/shorts. With Taylor I would have just suffered and continue to squeeze into regular clothes, but knowing the comfort of those stretch waistbands I wasn't afraid to go maternity with the first sign of discomfort :)

*I am planning on a non-epidural delivery. Parker's delivery was a lot easier than Taylor's and the recovery was like night & day. But we will see how it goes when the time comes and this one decides to take longer entering the world than Parker did :)

And since I never got around to posting the previous preggo pics I made Troy take of me here is week 12 and 16:

Week 12:
Taken the night of Taylor's dance recital.

Week 16:

Troy felt a little left out, (and I am sure will kill me for posting this picture!) but it makes me laugh that he needed his picture too :) I kept his face in the picture because you can totally tell he is mocking me and acting like a goof ball (and sticking his stomach out?!?!?!)

Love you Troy :)
