20-week ultrasound with baby #2....

We went to the ultrasound this morning for my 20 week checkup. Addison and Brett were both able to come. The technician was awesome and showed us all sorts of things from the heart, to the kidneys, to the blood flow in and out of the umbilical chord....technology will never cease to amaze me. The technician also checked the spine, heart, brain, organs and face for any issues. She and the doctor said the baby looks great. Oh, and I guess we did find out what we are having. It's a girl!! Addison is so excited to be able to dress her up and help do her hair....and probably makeup. Brett is excited, but now is totally out numbered! I think I want the baby's room purple or green....trying to stay away from pink as much as possible, being that I am not a huge fan of it (sorry Terra).

My mom, my sister, Brett and I were sitting around the kitchen table last week talking about names. My mom was talking only about boy names, which prompted Brett to say, "you know since we are only talking about boy names, it will be a girl"....looks like he was right. So, no girl names as of yet. Addison has given suggestions such as Ali, Fairy, Ella, Princess......we will need to refine these a bit.

According to all the measurements, I am still due August 30th. Now I have 20 weeks to get things ready....and Brett has 20 weeks to hopefully find a better job. :)

Thank you all for your prayers. Each baby is such a miracle. I am especially grateful, that there is nothing at this point for us to worry about. The baby looks healthy and looks like all her parts are in tact. :)
