It's a....

GIRL! We are expecting another bundle of girly joy! We took our parents to a surprise early ultra sound where we were able to find out we are having another girl.  I think at first, we were in shock, as we thought it was a boy, but with all the time to let the news sink in, we are so blessed that God is giving Eleanor a sister.

We are now in the planning phases for her room and get to think about all the fun nursery planning.

One healthy baby is all that we ask for, especially for this little miracle!

Can I just feel human again?

Here we are at 16 weeks. I wish I could say I was feeling better, but I'm still battling morning/all day sickness. I've had a perpetual cold which has made it impossible to feel human! In fact last week I ended up with a sinus infection that was the worst pain I've felt in my head. I couldn't even open my mouth!!! Then we ended up at the Ob's office because I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics...itching. Thought it was that dreaded cholestasis showing up WAY to early. But, Here I am, 16 weeks, and patiently waiting to find out if it is a boy or girl at our 2:30 ultra sound on March 6th! :) I'm excited...I'm hoping for a boy (mainly because I've had way different symptoms that Eleanor) but ultimately will be ecstatic for a HEALTHY baby. The Snoogle has been busted out in bed, and I'm still taking benadryl to make it through the night.  Here's to waiting...

PS. I told Patrick that I'm not doing this whole pregnancy thing again. While I'm beyond grateful that I'm pregnant, I remembered that this is not my favorite state of being...I'm much happier being after the end product!!! :)
