That is so exciting - Congrats

Re: Had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday...

Yes. Her first name will be Catherine (after my grandma on my dad's side). Her middle name will be Lillian (after my grandma on my mother's side and also hubby's grandma). It's a very grownup sounding name so we'll probably be calling her Catie for short.

Re: Had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday...

I had a 32 week ultrasound today. Catie is still a girl (thank goodness!). She had heart rate of 140bpm and was estimated to weigh almost 4.5 pounds. We didn't get very good pictures of her face this time. She had both her legs folded up in front of her face (can you say uncomfortable? LoL) so pretty much all we could see was one eye and her nose. Hubby took the pictures to work to scan so I'll post them as soon as I'm able.

While everything was fine with the ultrasound I'm still kinda bummed. I also had my regular appointment today too. I've had some major weight gain (no way could I have eaten THAT much on Turkey Day), my blood pressure went up to 139/84 and I'm retaining fluid. Bleh. So the doctor told me to watch out for signs of preeclampsia and he's having me go back in 2 weeks instead of 3 so he can keep a better eye on things. *sigh* Hopefully things will turn out ok.

Congrats on having a girl - I adore having a baby girl - it's just the best! (Mine is eight months old next week)

Good luck with it all and keep healthy.

Re: Had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday...

Skyye,

I AM SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH. Cathrine lillian, what a beatiful name for a beatiful little girl. I can tell already she is going to be just gorgeous. Your so lucky.

My son is fifteen and even though I wanted a boy, I always wished I had a little girl. I would (kiddingly) ask my son to try on a dress for me when we would walk thru the little girls clothes in the mall. He wouldn't do it. Can you believe that?

Don't worry about the weight, just be healthy and have a healthy baby.

Don't forget, you have to share her with the rest of us.

Thank heaven for little girls.
