We had our 18 week ultrasound yesterday and found out we are having a girl! At first she would not cooperate and was sitting indian-style so there wasn't a good shot and she wouldn't move. I am wondering if this will only be the beginning of a lifetime of stubborn and defiant behavior. After I got up and moved around a bit, the sonographer tried again and we got a perfect picture and it was definitely a girl. The even better news is that she is developing normally and is progressing perfectly. The ultrasounds can't detect all possible abnormalities, but all of her organs, bones and muscles look great.
I felt that baby for the first time a few weeks ago, it wasn't a flutter so much as a jab. I am still not feeling movement consistently, but usually every few days I will get a few good kicks. I am feeling great and only these past few weeks have I really started to look like a pregnant lady and strangers are asking me my due date. Once the ultrasound pictures are scanned I will download them, as well as some pictures of my new belly.
Hope all is well with everyone,
Sarah and Aaron
