I am not going to go in to too much detail, some of it feels spiritual to me and is quite hard to explain in words on a blog, but I will say that Jason and I just knew we were having a girl. From dreams, promptings, differences in pregnancies, all the way down to Ollie (out of nowhere and on several occasions) blurting out "baby sister!" There were a lot of signs pointing to this little one being a girl. I love thinking on all of this, looking at entries in my journal claiming to know it was a girl, and then having it all confirmed!
We are so incredibly happy!
UPDATE:
-How far along?: My original due date was set as the 10th of September, then at my first 3 ultrasounds they said they were changing it to the 13th (not a big difference) but then the last two appointments they've said I'm measuring on track for "my due date on the 10th". So..I'm somewhere in the 22 week range!
-Total weight gain/loss?: Ready for this? NINE POUNDS GAINED!! I am now at 115. I've eaten much worse this pregnancy but I've also been doing a lot more cardio than I did with Oliver..so I'm hoping that will balance things a little and I'll be able to stay in a healthy range for weight gain.
-Maternity clothes?: I've been wearing more of my medium-large sized shirts but still haven't actually purchased maternity. I need to!
-Sleep?: Pretty good still!
-Best moment?: FINDING OUT THE GENDER!! (Video and pictures below)
-Hardest moment?: Leaving the ultrasound..I just wanted to watch our baby all day.
-Symptoms?: Soreness
-Food cravings?: Sweet treats! I also find I'm in the mood to snack on something crunchy and salty a little more lately.
-Food aversions?: None. But I do regret that KFC trip we made a week ago..
-Gender?: GIRL!!!
-Belly button in or out?: Half in, half flat haha.
-What I miss?: Seeing my sweet baby at the anatomy scan. It was so fun! We had an amazing ultrasound technician who was so sweet, even when I started to feel faint halfway through and had to keep adjusting my position.
-What I'm looking forward to?: Enjoying all the times we get with Ollie as an only child. He is seriously the best.
And obviously, holding my darling baby girl.
And room service at the hospital! Haha!
