Sorry for missing week 20, we were a little busy planning for our LITTLE GIRL!!!! May I tell you how in shock I was? I was completely convinced she would be a little boy, but Daddy knew better! Adam knew she was a girl all along! The REALLY cool thing about having a little girl, besides the obvious, is she will be the first Werner girl born in 58 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!
When we got to the ultrasound, Adam and I both were so nervous about making sure she was healthy(which she is!) and anxious to find out the sex. Once we got into the room, we specifically asked the tech to check all of her parts to make sure she was doing good before telling us the sex. Well, about half way through, she did a SPREAD EAGLE! So the tech froze the screen and told us that she was going to reveal the sex because it was such a good shot. (I am tearing up as I am thinking about this part!) The tech said, "See those 3 lines right there?" and immediately, I started laughing and crying at the same time, literally in hysterics because I was so happy! Didn't realize how much I wanted a little girl!!!!!!!! (probably would have done the same thing for a boy, though) :-) Also, at the same time, all of Adam's fears went away and he was so excited! Now, he is all about his little girl! P.S. she gave us such a good shot of her girly parts that the tech said there was absolutely NO MISTAKING her gender.
I think it took me a few days (at least) to adjust to the thought of having a baby girl. Shopping has not been hard to adjust to though! So many cute girl outfits, it will be hard to control my spending! Luckily, I have two nieces that have outgrown so many of their outfits, so Miss Werner will be well stocked!
Mood:
WONDERFUL!!! So excited to have a daughter!
Energy: Feeling great! She is kicking up a storm and I am just loving every minute of it. The other night, I think she was actually punching and kicking me at the same time. I know Adam is already tired of me asking him to come feel her kick all the time. LOL
Cravings: Nothing unusual
Nausea: one mini episode
Total Weight Gain: 10 pounds
BW1 this week (per BabyCenter):
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.
