Baby Grace - 28 weeks

I'm 28 weeks pregnant today. Hello third trimester!

We had a 4D ultrasound this morning which was really fun. We didn't have that opportunity when I was pregnant with Brennan, so it was really exciting for us. Brennan was fairly well behaved...you know, for an almost 4-year old in a room full of gadgets! He sat next to me and held my hand, and played with the "slime" that was all over my belly. Apparently the slime is much more exciting for him than actually watching the baby on the television. But, he did ask for his very own picture of his baby sister.

Baby sister seemed more interested in playing with her hands and keeping her face squished against the placenta than posing for us. I guess if I was stuck in a uterus with nothing to do I would find my hands amusing too :o) Here are some of the pictures that the tech was able to capture (don't mind the black blob next to her face, that would be the placenta!):

It's a...

GIRL!!!

Brennan was very excited to find out that a baby sister will be joining him in February. Everything looked great during the ultrasound and she was quite active - which seems to be a trend with my children :o) Maybe she'll have a chance at keeping up with her big brother.

Today, I am 21 weeks pregnant. I can't believe that I'm more than halfway to the finish line!
