It's Confirmed-We Are Having A Girl!

Today's appointment confirmed that the baby is in fact a girl! What a relief! I started worrying about it last night. I just almost have Faith's nursery completed. I really didn't want to have to take everything down and start all over again.

The baby has gotten quite a bit bigger and is doing well. I love hearing her heartbeat. My doctor was pleased to hear that I am feeling better. He always gets a big smile on his face when he hears the baby's heartbeat. I took my niece with me today and the whole office just went bananas over her. Dr. McAlpine's wife and daughter both work at the office and they both held her and went on and on about how pretty and sweet she is. They were not just saying that either because there were other babies there as well. They didn't tell anyone else that but Hannah. Any of you who have seen her know what I am talking about. She looks like the Gerber baby! If my baby is half as sweet and pretty as little Hannah, we will be extremely blessed!

This time I got sonogram pictures of Faith's bottom and her head. She is looking more and more human every day and is quite cute if I do say so myself! The sonogram lady was really nice and actually spent more time with us than she had originally said she would spend. I am glad that Scott got to go this time around. This month's sonogram was much better because Faith is bigger and she was face up as opposed to face down like last time. :)

The nurse is on vacation this week, but I did get to talk to my doctor about pediatricians in the area. However, he did not recognize anyone from the list. :( I left the list for the secretary to put in my file. She will have the nurse look it over when she comes back. Maybe I will have more luck with her. But if not, then Dr. McAlpine told me to take my list up to the maternity ward and ask them about it. I didn't get to take my hospital tour today, but I will definitely be taking the list with me when I go in the next week or so. I am not giving up, but boy this is a little discouraging!

I also found out today that I am 23 weeks along rather than 22 weeks along. I lost track of a week somewhere along the way! Saturday, August 16th will start week 24 of my pregnancy. I cannot believe how much bigger I am getting. The baby is growing like a weed!

I hope to post some pictures of the nursery and playroom soon. I am pretty proud of both of them. However, I must admit that the camera does not do them justice. I hate to brag, but they are way cuter in person. Faith's nursery is now my favorite room in the house! For those who haven't seen it yet, you will definitely have to swing by and take a peak! :)
