We had our ultrasound, and...

There's no need to buy anything BLUE for this house, because we will be inundated with PINK for the rest of our lives. Not only will Brett and I be outnumbered by our children, but we will be outnumbered by girls. All girls. Wow. We got some good pictures and a video from the lab, but I couldn't get anything scanned or make a video clip. So here are some shots I took on my phone from my laptop.

Finding her thumb

She's doing well so far! The doctor said she's actually a few days ahead of schedule. The placenta is smack dab in front which makes be a little nervous due to the whole two-previous-c-section-scars thing. That also explains why I haven't really felt anything big yet, since there's the equivalent of a big pillow between baby and outside world. She was breech for the whole ultrasound, and no matter what the tech or I did, we couldn't get her to move. No really good profile pictures as a result.

I guess I'm doing well too. Still bustling around like normal, but I'm getting a little more tired that I was before. Guess that's 20 weeks for you. I'm still sleeping partially on my stomach, which is WEIRD because I was totally body-pillowing it up by this time with the girls. It's getting harder to lean over and put the girls' shoes on too. And my grand total for weight gain is only 8 lbs. YES! I hope it stays that way, but with my appetite as of late, I don't think it will. Warm weather can come at any time. I'm ready to go for walks outside!

Brett left for work this evening and will come home Friday afternoon, if all goes well. No big plans this week. I'm considering self-quarantining all of us here at home after hearing about all the people with the stomach flu. UGH! There's nothing worse than the stomach flu. So now every time I hear Sophia whine or cough in her room in the middle of the night, I'm going to thinking she's getting sick. The whole thought of it makes me shudder. You don't know real parenthood until you've dealt with it, right?
