I'm 23 weeks today and still feeling really good!  The biggest news of the week was that we found out IT'S A GIRL!.  I'm ecstatic, but it still feels like it's going to be such a long time before we get to meet her. 

 

The appointment went great and the dr. said everything is looking like it should.  We had a different ultrasound tech this time and I could tell that all of my questions were annoying her, but other than that we had an awesome visit.   The tech said that she was "pretty sure" it's a girl, which at first made both my husband and I question the likelihood of whether that would indeed be true.  We asked the dr afterwards and he said that in the 22 years he'd worked there that they had only been wrong 8 times and that he was pretty sure if she couldn't tell, that she would've just said so.  That eased our minds a bit, but we're both pretty much in the mindset that we will find out for sure when the baby comes!

 

We decided at the last moment that we wouldn't be doing a gender reveal party afterall.  I'd been obsessing about making the decision for weeks and I finally just decided that although it would be fun, I just really didn't want to mess with it.  It made me sad knowing that my Texas family wouldn't be able to be there and that we would be spending lots of money on something that wouldn't really even benefit the baby.  Not to mention that this month will be crazy busy with our families on spring break vacations, my birthday, a planned trip to Lubbock, and us wanting to start planting some flowers.  I didn't feel like adding one more thing to the list...

 

Day to day life has pretty much been the same - swollen feet and ankles, confusing dreams, just about peeing myself at any given moment, and really wanting a margarita.  I'm enjoying my pregnancy, but I'm ready to meet my little sweetheart already.  17 more weeks!
