Dear Baby,

Oh baby! We had our doctor appointment yesterday, and Mommy and Daddy absolutely LOVE the new doctor! He is so nice, and funny, and he spends lots of time with us, answering our questions!! Plus, we've seen him twice this month, and both times he did an ultrasound, even though we weren't due for one!!

He peeked at you yesterday, and he's pretty sure you're going to be a little GIRL!! You are also measuring big compared to how far along they thought I was. We already thought I may be more then the 18 weeks and 6 days the doctor thought I was, especially since you measured a little bigger in your second ultrasound. Mommy thought she was about 19 weeks and 4 days along according to the second ultrasound, but yesterday we discovered that you are measuring at 20 weeks!! Our 20 week scan is scheduled for next week, so the tech will measure you again and check to make sure you aren't hiding any boy parts!!

We are trying to think of names for you, and having a very rough time. We haven't agreed on any so far, so wish us luck baby!! All of my blood tests came back negative for any genetic disorders, so it looks like you're going to be a perfect little princess in a few months! I am so glad that you are healthy, and growing like you should be!! Mommy is growing too, I have gained a total of 14 pounds since we found out I was pregnant!! The doctor said my gain so far is fine, although I'm a little baffled! I only gained about 6-7 pounds from January to March, but since March 18 I have added another 7 pounds!! That seems like a lot for one month, but my tummy has popped out, and everyone can definitely tell that there's something [you!] in there!!

5 months means we are half way there, it seems like it has only been a few weeks since we found out! We are having a blast looking online for swings and stuff for you, and now Mommy can finally start going and picking out clothes!!

I can't wait to meet you Princess, Mommy and Daddy are so excited!! We really thought we were going to have a little boy, but you sure tricked us!! My mommy intuition told me boy, but I guess I was wrong!! We can't wait for you to get here so we can love you and hold you.

Until next time, Mommy loves you little bean!
