IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

This is Ella at 20 weeks! She's definitely showing her stuff now! I feel flutters often.

Okay, so Brian and I found out on Friday (January 9th) that is was a 99% chance that it was a girl :) I was really excited and I'm sure I would have been just as excited if it was a boy, but it's great to know what I am having so the planning process can begin!! So what if it already has with a quilt personalized (Ella of course!) and the tons of clothes that Grandma bought her this weekend. She also got some headbands so that there is no question about her gender if she's born without hair.

There is been so much going on this past week that I could go on all day writing about. I went out to dinner with my friend Lauren and she also bought Ella two outfits. They are so tiny and I can't imagine a human actually fitting into them. She also received a teddy bear and a book from a neighbor. It's going to go great in the nursery!

Friday was the sonogram. They looked at everything from the brain to the heart to making sure of 10 fingers and 10 toes. It's amazing how much can be seen. She seemed like she might be a gymnast some day! Her heartbeat was 155 which was the same as my last doctor's appointment.

On Monday, I had my 20 week doctor's appointment. Everything went well. I gained one pound since the previous doctor's appointment four weeks before. They also drew blood to make sure everything was going okay. I can't believe that I am already over half way through!

I guess this sums up most of my pregnancy so far. The last thing I want to end on is that we did get several Christmas cards that included the baby on them. I took a picture of the one that I thought was the most clever. This was from our neighbors. In case you cannot read it, it says: "Brian, Dana, Mason & Pepper (& Dana's passenger). Wishing you guys the Merriest of Christmas Holidays."

I never thought of it as having a passenger, but it's totally true (even if she's only 10.5 ounces).
