Baby #3 News

First, here's Hannah and Kaitlyn with Santa....


Baby #3....

Finally had another ultrasound Tuesday afternoon, and the baby is a GIRL!  Two weeks ago, at a monthly checkup, the doctor declared the baby a boy because the baby wouldn't cooperate with the doplar for the heartbeat check, so much for that theory.

Jacqui - I thought for sure it was going to be a boy as my hormones seem to be stronger this time, as is my gag reflex. (Health-wise -  Finally over a head cold which caused almost a month of extra tiredness.  Have lost weight since we found out, and haven't gained yet but the doctors don't seem concerned.)

Josh - Was hoping for another girl because I know how to handle little girls now, but was shocked because I thought Jacqui somehow knew we were having a boy.

Hannah - Had a wanted a baby brother but is excited about the prospect of having 2 sisters.

Kaitlyn - Seems to understand there's a baby in Mommy's belly, but not sure she really understands what that means.

Baby Girl #3 - No names picked out officially yet.  Right on track for all her measurements and weight (15oz).  No adjustments to her predicted arrival date of 4/12.  Everything looked healthy according to the ultrasound.  Will have a fetal echo, a specialty ultrasound, on Tuesday to confirm that her aorta is in the correct position, whereas Hannah's makes a horseshoe and caused an aortic ring which was the reason behind her surgery at 4 months.
