20 Weeks and BABY IS ...?

Baby is a GIRL!

We had a grand plan of a gender reveal that didn't work as great in practice as it did in theory. But it was still fun. I bought pink and blue onesies and then when we found out I tucked the onsie in a white box with the ultrasound pictures. Then we waited for Connor to get home from school and then wanted Connor and Bella to open the box and pull out the onsie to show to everyone. I explained very clearly beforehand that if there was a blue onsie that means they were getting a brother and if it was a pink onesie that means they were getting a sister. Connor from the start was set on a brother so we worried a little how this would turn out, while trying our best to prepare him either way.

Suffice to say the gender reveal video that we planned to share with family and friends was a fail.

Unfortunately the box was a little hard to open, the camera failed to videotape, and Connor had a break down right when he looked in the box and left. Bella was confused but excited and enjoyed cheering with everyone else! And Connor is warming up to the fact that our house will be one of girls!

In the past Shea has been right about every baby for the gender check. 

And although we both we're leaning towards boy considering we always want the opposite of what we just had. 

I guessed Girl and Shea guessed Boy.

So YEA I got to be right!

And I must say the first reaction of having three girls seemed a little daunting and yet while we sat in the ultrasound room we just couldn't stop smiling. But as time goes on I get even more and more excited. 

We are already picking her name out and enjoying picturing these sisters together with their older brother leading the way.

As for my 20 week report.

All is well.

Baby and Mommy continue to do great. And Baby Girl's ultrasound results came out perfect. I am feeling better and better even though I continue to grow bigger and bigger. Baby Girl is kicking more and more and sometimes they become quite uncomfortable, and yet I love them. 

At the ultrasound appointment the technician commented on my placental placement so it looks like I have an anterior placenta yet again. Which means placenta it in the front blocking baby. Which makes it harder to find baby's heartbeat during check ups sometimes, so maybe we will get a couple extra peeks at baby in the coming months. It also means baby's movements are more inner then outer and are harder to feel from the outside. And I probably wont show quite as much, although this is baby four so my expectations of staying small may be a little too much to hope for :)
