It's a.....

Girl!!!
I am so EXCITED!!! We are going to have another girl. We enjoyed our ultrasound, since she is a modest little girl they were having a hard time getting all the measurements they needed, so we got to watch for a long time. She looks wonderful and healthy. I think every mother, or at least I do, get so nervous to hear and make sure my little one is healthy. I am so excited now to know that she is a she and that she is growing nice and healthy. I have been complaining to Mike that she likes to sit over on my left side and how it drives me crazy that I can feel her all curled up on that side all the time. So I told the lady doing the ultrasound and she said oh at this stage they are all over the place so it's hard to know where they will be. Well there she was all curled up with her legs crossed and her arms over her face on my left side.
As for me, I am feeling kind of down. When I was pregnant with Katie I had the most amazing pregnancy, I wasn't too sick, I felt beautiful, I had was tired but still had energy. Then came my two miscarriages and the there was Kortney. I found out that I needed to be on progesterone, and well it makes me feel like I have motion sickness. But at least that is only for 16 weeks. Then I went into labor at 32 weeks and had to go on bed rest. This pregnancy I just knew was going to be wonderful. First I found out that progesterone was needed again, again 16 weeks is OK. At 10 weeks I found out that I had problems got put on bed rest for a few weeks, by about 15 weeks I was up and going again. Now at this ultrasound I found out that I have placenta previa, where the placenta is covering the cervix. I guess it's a good sign that I'm not bleeding, but if it begins then more bed rest. I go in for another ultrasound in 8 weeks unless bleeding begins and hoping, praying that the uterus will pull the placenta up as I continue to grow.
I do LOVE feeling this little girl move though. I think that is one thing I miss after having a baby. I love that I am feeling better. I love my cute growing tummy. I feel it is such a blessing to have the chance to carry one of Heavenly Fathers children. It will be so fun to meet her at the end of May or beginning of June. A wonderful blessing to be a mother. I love my girls so much. I love that Mike LOVES being a daddy to all girls. He is a wonderful daddy.
Now the question? Who will she look like Katie or Kortney or a mix? What will her name be? I guess we will find out when she comes. :)
