Baby 4

So, I really wont have much to post until tomorrow, but I'm getting a lot of questions about my pregnancy and the baby. I thought I'd do a little update...
First, the bad news. I have gained freakin 20 lbs already and only being 21 weeks I am definately scared for another 19 weeks. Holy cow that's a lot and I'm really starting to feel the extra weight. In just a matter of a week I went from barely looking pregnant to looking like 8 months preggo. Dustin says I'm exaggerating, but I'll have to post a picture. YIKES. I had an appointment on Friday and since I'm considered higher risk they did a little ultrasound just to make sure the baby was developing correctly. They just glanced at the heart which was beating normal and they took a cute little picture of the profile. I go tomorrow for my real ultrasound where they measure and make sure everything is perfect. This baby looks so cute and reminds me of the other 3. And to all those wondering, I didn't find out the gender on Friday even though I was asked. I will not find out tomorrow either. Sorry mom, you'll really have to wait. I'm not gonna cave. We decided not to find out the gender for the surprise factor and because do we really need to know? Let's at least give Dustin 40 full weeks of hoping and praying it's a boy...lol. I'm already convinced it's a girl so I'm starting to think of names.
The baby moves around a lot. It doesn't matter if I'm sitting, standing or laying down, I can feel it's little legs kicking. I'm carrying pretty low, but the doc says that's normal being that this is my 4th pregnancy. I'm getting really excited for this little one now that it finally feels real. I know it will be a challange but I love my other ones so much I couldn't expect this would be different.
That's pretty much all for now, but I will let everyone know how tomorrow goes, if theres much to report.
