What a day! D and I woke up bright and early and he cheered me on as I downed my 30 ounces of water. We got to the hospital way before we needed to be there, but it was well worth it, because we got called in 15 minutes early for our appointment.
The first part of the appointment the tech took all of the measurements. She explained that she couldn't tell me anything other than the gender (if the baby cooperates) and the heart rate, which was 152 bpm. All of the measurements and pictures she takes go into a report that our doctor will review and go over with us at our next appointment, which is in two weeks. I really hope that everything looks great and icing on the cake would be if she were measuring ahead and our due date was moved up. As usual, I will report back on all of that as soon as we find anything more out!
Here are some more pictures from our sonogram on Friday. Miss Lady was moving around toward the end when she took pictures for us, so you will see that they aren't as clear as her 12 week pictures when she was a lot less active!

The alien picture. A little less scary than the 12 week one. :)
My girl with her long leg propped up. You can kind of see an arm in the background and part of the umbilical cord. We had a hard time getting her to stay still for a profile pic!
Here is the best profile we could get. Still kind of hard to see, especially with the arms and cord around that area as well.
Another "full body" shot...it's getting kind of cramped in there!
Here's my little loves foot as she kicks me!
Unless we have any issues, those will be our last pictures from the hospital. We are looking into possibly doing a 3D ultrasound in the next couple of months if we feel the need to see her again...which I would already like to!
I was so surprised to hear that we are having a GIRL! I really did expect to hear that Baby M was a boy, but am SO happy with the news. Even D, as shocked as he was, is already planning what "bad ass girl sports" he will be encouraging her to try out. He also expects that she will look like him, but a girl, so that will be interesting... :) I just can't wait to meet her and and bring her home and start our little family. She is already so loved.
Hopefully we will start getting serious about finding a name for Baby Girl M soon! We have several top choices, but decided that we won't be announcing anything until we are 100% sure. More to look forward to!
Well, I'm off to enjoy the weekend...be back for my 22 week update soon!
