It's a girl!


It's official! We're having another girl. I had my 20 week ultra sound a few days ago and there was no question about it. It was very exciting to see the baby moving around. It always brings such a reality to the whole pregnancy.

The funny thing is although I have been showing somewhat, we hadn't told Owen or Ava yet. I felt like 9 months is so long for a child that young to wait and even Owen wouldn't really get it when I wasn't looking pregnant. So, we were waiting for my stomach to obviously look pregnant and since that happened around the time we found out the sex, we waited. So, last night we read him his bed time stories and then talked to him a little about the whole thing. He was very excited. He said a few things, then was quiet for a minute with a straight face and asked, "Well, does this mean Ava has to share her binkies?" We assured him Ava could still take her naps with her own binkies and the baby would have her own that are more of a baby size. He can't believe he'll have 2 sisters. I'm so thankful to have him. He's a great big brother to Ava and will be to this little one.

Now the battle of names begins. :)
