Baby #3

We are excited to announce that Baby #3 is another Girl! (we would've been excited about a boy too). This morning we got final votes from the kids. Elliot has never said "boy" or "girl" ever that we can think of and immediately said "girl" when Richard asked him. We even asked a 2nd time worded differently and he said the same thing and he was right. Libby has been saying girl from the beginning mostly because she loves pink and girly things. I kept changing my mind, but figured someone should guess boy. I thought it was boy for the first trimester and then kept picturing a girl.

Baby was perfect size and looked healthy. We get another ultrasound at 28 weeks to make sure things are still going well. The placenta is a little close to the bottom and they are hoping it moves out of the way so I don't have to have a C-section. We will probably name her Eleanor, Richard and I both really like it and hardly agree on any other names. Haven't quite got to thinking of middle names yet. Possible nicknames though are: Ellie, Ella, or Nora.

Here's a few pics

Her first hair bow ;)

She was super wiggly, so getting a good 3d pic was hard

She was snuggling the side

Cute little feet

Heart beat was nice and strong. High because she was getting her exercise

Cute profile with her hand by her face

Gender predictions

I just read a funny post about all the different methods of predicting a baby's gender. We find out via ultrasound Mar 20, so only 1.5 weeks!! We are very excited. I don't understand how people do the whole surprise thing. I did not do all the tests, but here are a few results for your entertainment and to help you make your prediction. Please comment with your prediction!

Heartbeat= girl (it has been around 155, at my last few visits and above 140, is supposed to mean girl)

Carrying high/low: Boy (I'm not too big yet, so I don't know if this is accurate, but I feel like the baby is low like Elliot was, Libby was high so this one has a high accuracy for me)

Cravings: Boy (anyone want to bring me a juicy hamburger?)

Chinese predictor: Girl

Mayan predictor: Boy

Acne: Girl

Ring trick: Girl

Richard's guess: Girl

Becky's guess: Boy
