It's a GIRL!

My ultrasound was moved up a few weeks because of some pain that I had last week. I was feeling a sharp stabbing pain in the cervix area, and the doctor wanted me to get in ASAP so that my cervix could be checked for any shortening.

My scan was at 8:15 this morning. The Ultrasound Tech was WONDERFUL! She described every detail that was going on :) We got to see the brain, the spine, the heart, kidneys, bladder, face, arms, legs, feet, etc! Then she announced that it is a GIRL!! She even let us watch the 3-D ultrasound for a bit.

I just can't believe it! I truly thought it was a boy, and never imagined that it could actually be a girl!

Little Katelyn (nicknamed Kaylee) is currently laying mostly on the left-lower side. The placenta is on the back wall of the uterus and she is leaning up against the placenta, as if it were a chair! Her little feet are kicking low, against my cervix (hence the pains I was feeling). She measures 18w6d and is approximately 9oz! And of course, she is absolutely adorable in black n white ultrasound :)
