4 Weeks to go

Now we are in the home stretch. I am now seeing the doctor every week and had a doctors appointment today. I am already 1 cm dilated and she has dropped. She is going to be a small baby, between 6 to 7 lbs, but that is alright. We will also have one more ultrasound, which I was excited to hear. My doctor is thinking that he will induce on May 21st if I don't go sooner, but we will talk about that more when it gets closer. We are excited and can't wait for her to get here. We have waited for a long time to bring a baby home. We also have the nursery complete. I am making my finishing touches and I will post pictures as soon as I get everything in its place.

Brooklyn Paige

We finally decided that this little girl should have a name. Brooklyn Paige Lewis. We plan on calling her Brooke though. She is also named after her older brothers. We got Paige from Parker and Gavin.

We are also working on her nursery. It is in the process of being painted, and most of the furnisher is put together. I will be posting pictures in the next couple of weeks when it is completed.

We had an ultrasound today and tried to get 3D pictures but she would not cooperate. The tech tried rolling me over and shaking my tummy, but she would not move. They also could not confirm if she was still a girl because she had her legs up and crossed. So lets just pray she is a girl lol. But we did find some things out. She weighs exactly 4 pounds, which is amazing. She also has a little hair, but the tech said she has seen more at this stage. It is so amazing how you can see everything. Now we just have to sit back and wait. I am so excited to meet her.

Third Trimester

Today we have entered the third trimester. I am really excited to meet this little baby girl. I am enjoying every minute of this pregnancy. I love feeling her move around. It is so fascinating. Both of my showers are coming up here in March, and I am so ready to start "nesting." Chad and I have thought about naming her Brooklyn Paige, but it is not a final decision yet. We got Paige from Gavin and Parker because they will always be apart of her life. I will keep you guys updated as we go.

Feeling her move

So I am past the 22 weeks part where I lost my boys. This is the longest I have ever been pregnant. I think now my nerves can calm down a little, and try and enjoy this pregnancy.

I am also feeling her move a lot more. Last night, for the first time, we could feel her move from the outside. Chad was so happy to feel her for the first time. He never got to feel the boys move, and it was bittersweet for him.

It's a Girl!!

I did have my big ultrasound, but I couldn't post until I told my family. I surprised them on Christmas. It is a girl, and I definitely have mix feelings about this. It is good because people cannot replace Gavin and Parker. They are 'the boys', and this is a girl. On the other hand, I was prepared for a boy. That is what my heart was set on. Either way, I just need to be grateful and pray this little girl makes it here safely.

This Pregnancy

I don't know about this pregnancy. I am not gaining any weight. I am 16 weeks and you can't tell at all. It is so different than the pregnancy with the boys. I want it to be the same. I realize that I will always compare this baby to the twins, and it is not fair. I am also not as excited as I should be.

2nd Ultrasound

We had our 2nd ultrasound on November 16, 2009. We left for our trip the next day, so I am just now getting around to posting. The baby is perfect. The heart beat was strong and the baby was a little ahead of schedule. So far the cervix looks good. Our next ultrasound is December 14 and we will be finding out the sex of the baby. Please still keep us in your prayers.
