We're Having...

... a healthy baby GIRL! Our new baby girl is due January 11th, but I predict she will make her appearance mid-December.

We had our 20 week ultrasound today, and everything looks great. The baby is measuring a bit small (about a week behind), but we aren't concerned because Reese was small throughout the pregnancy too.

My pregnancy has been a very easy one. No morning sickness at all (just like with Reese), and I'm so thankful. I had a little heartburn at the beginning, but that quickly stopped. Our only concern was I had a small subchorionic hemorrhage at my 10 ultrasound, but that has completely absorbed at 20 weeks.

We told Reese about the baby right when we found out we are expecting. We tried to write down some of the funny things she has said about the baby over the last few months...

Reese consistently said she was going to have a sister. One time she went into detail saying, "A sister. A pink one. Or maybe purple."

"That [having a brother or sister] will be nice."

"She will like me."

When looking at my tummy she asked, "Can I hold her?" I had to explain, not quite yet.

"I'll give her a ball. What kind of ball?"

Reese asked me, "You still have a baby in your tummy?" She can't come out. She's still growing up!"

One day Reese asked me, "What's her name?"
M: "We don't have a name for the baby yet. What do you think it should be?"
R (enthusiastically): "Aubrey!" (Just like her cousin -- that might be confusing!)

While swinging, Grandma asked Reese if the swing is hitting her tummy. Reese replied, "No, because I don't have a baby in my tummy."

The past two weeks she said she was going to have a brother AND a sister. When we got home from the ultrasound today, we told her she was going to have a sister. She immediately said, "NO! A brother AND a sister!" Luckily she got over it pretty quickly.
