We are having a girl!

The other day at work, one of my friends who works in the ultrasound department did a quick scan on me to see if we were having a boy or girl. Justin and Tristan came up there too. I was worried about Tristan wanting to get into everything, but he did really well, despite the lemonade Justin gave him :) He even wanted her to do an ultrasound on his tummy. The baby was moving all around and looked pretty squished in there already. Luckily, the baby was cooperative this time! And we found out that Tristan is going to have a little sister! That is what the tech thought a few weeks ago, but now we know for sure. Her name is going to be Anna Kathryn, but we will probably call her Anna Kate (there is still a bit of a debate between that and just Anna). We are very excited, but a little nervous too. I'm so used to my little boy, I don't know what to do with a girl! I just feel bad for her if she ends up with my hair!

15 week update

Sorry it has been so long since I last updated, but we have been quite busy these past few weeks. Justin and I celebrated our four year anniversary by going to dinner at the Wash House, a delicious restaurant in Point Clear. Then Tristan had his second birthday, and we had a great party at the park. Its hard to believe that he is already two! I had a Dr. appointment last Thursday, and everything looked great. My blood pressure was fine and I've gained seven pounds so far. I figured I would have gained a lot more than that by the way that I've been eating! We heard the baby's heart beat with a doppler and it sounded great. We also got to sneak in an ultrasound. The baby looked good and was moving all around, and weighed a whole four ounces. They also looked at the baby in 4D. It was slightly creepy looking, but very interesting as well . But of course when it came time to find out if it was a boy or girl, the silly little thing was sitting Indian style and wouldn't budge. The ultrasound tech said she got a quick peak, but couldn't be 100% certain. Luckily, one of the ultrasound techs that I work with said that she would be happy to do one for me tomorrow. So hopefully the baby will be cooperative. I will be happy either way, I just want to know! As far as how I've been feeling, well..... Some days I feel pretty good, but there are still days that I feel like I got hit by a train. I was hoping I would feel better by now, but no luck. It has gotten better in the sense that it isn't everyday all day at least. Certain things still make me sick, but I have been able to unload the dishes a few times. I don't want to push myself too hard by trying to reload it though :). I'll let you all know as soon as we do about whether we are having a boy or girl!
