I had a doctor's appointment and sonogram earlier this week. We decided not to find out the gender, and the kids seem to be okay with that so far, but since they won't be able to have that information to prepare the next few months, I thought maybe if we took them and they each got to see some good pictures of the baby, that would be fun for them. And it was! They both thought it was pretty neat, and the sono tech really involved them in showing them all sorts of things..... face, hands, feet, spine, heart and heart beat, even close ups of the mouth, lips, and chin. The first face shot that she got looked a little like a skeleton, and I made the mistake of saying to Carter, "It looks like the bones of a skeleton in that picture, doesn't it?" and Ella said, "Ohhhh, that's scary!" That made us giggle. We definitely don't need her thinking the baby is going to come out looking like that! Whoops! :/ But, very happy to say the everything looks perfect, baby is very healthy, and we got lots of good shots to take home! She didn't even peek at gender parts, so no one knows at all!!
We've been talking a little bit about names lately, but not knowing if we're having a boy or girl has definitely made it harder. We have several on each list, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Been feeling pretty good lately, just fighting fatigue and headaches. Other than that, chugging right along and preparing myself for a very warm 3rd trimester this summer! Yikes!
Here are some recent pictures of me, and pictures of sonogram day.

The sono tech gave Carter a long strip of pictures, and he treats them like they're his prized possession. He fell asleep on the way home from the doctor admiring them! Sweet boy.
Uncle Gene got a kick out of the Ooohhh, that's scary. Carter is such a sweet boy.
