It's a girl! We are officially at 20 weeks of pregnancy, our halfway mark!! 2o weeks for us fell on January 7th, and this was our gender sonogram day. However, I was so incredibly anxious to find out as soon as I could. A friend of my family has been in pediatrics for quite some time and offered to do sono's for us whenever we would like to. S00000, we decided that it would be so much fun to have our gender sono with her at 17 weeks which was the weekend before Christmas. I have no idea why I wanted to know what little babe I was carrying before Christmas, but I was dying to know! After our one hour long sonogram and switching from side to side to move our little angel around, we found out it's a little girl!! We were so nervous we wouldn't find out that day because she was sitting on her feet, dang! But, after much movement induced by us, she finally displayed her identity! We then had our 20 week sono with our doctor this past Friday, and still a girl!! We were THRILLED!! Either gender would have been so perfect for us. We had names, bedding, furniture and room decor picked out for each before hand, ha! I am so excited and deeply anxious to meet our little girl. Lance will be such a wonderful "girl" dad. Girls have such a deep need and desire that only their dad's can fulfill. He was meant to have a girl one day. I can't wait to see their bond, love, closeness and relationship grow. This will be so amazing to witness. As far as the pregnancy goes, it has been great so far! We are starting to grow (Charleigh and I :)) a little more every week, it's fun to watch all of the changes take place. I haven't really been able to feel her move much yet. I have felt a few flutters, and that's a fun little surprise! We are still actively running most days, I am very thankful for this because it gives me so much energy even when I arrive to the gym extra tired. Cravings...I haven't really had any. I could eat breakfast for every meal, but I have always been a huge fan of breakfast food, maybe now it's just amplified! We had some super cute pics from our sonogram Friday, I will try to see if I can take a pic of them and upload if they turn out clear enough. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Love to all!
