It's a.......................GIRL!!

We had our second trimester ultrasound today and found out that the baby is a girl! Bring on the pink!! Everything else looks good with the baby. Development is right on track and all fingers and toes are present and accounted for. All the measurements came out very average except for the baby's head which was pretty large (73rd percentile)!! We're hoping this just means that the baby will be extra smart :-)

The ultrasound also looked at the position of the placenta in the uterus and it turns out I have Placenta Previa. The doctor assured us that this is nothing to worry about and that there is still time for the Placenta to move and the issue to resolve itself. If not, I will just have to deliver through a C-section but there should be no risk posed to the baby. I go for another ultrasound in 6 weeks to see if the placenta has moved any.

Here are some pictures of our little girl:

18 Weeks!

We're almost halfway there! We're at 18 weeks and counting. Had a doctor's appointment this week and everything looks good so far. We have our ultrasound scheduled for the end of April, and we should find out the sex then.

Kristin's still feeling pretty good, although at this point it is obvious she is pregnant. She can't fit into most of her regular pants, and has started to wear some maternity clothes. She's not really excited about that, but I think it's cute.

Happy Easter,

Jon
