Pomerleau Family Blog: A Sweet Baby Girl!

At 17 weeks, Sean and I found out that we are expecting a sweet baby girl! The tech was pretty confident but I was worried still that it may be too early. We just told close friends and family and waited until 20 weeks for the double confirmation to tell everyone else. I was so excited when I found out that she was a girl that I got a little teary eyed and said "this will complete our family!" Brandon especially seems to take to baby girls so that was another reason I was excited about it. I have to admit that I went a little crazy after I found out she was a girl with getting some girl baby clothes (I had been eying them longingly for a while). I felt pretty good at 17 weeks, was less tired and felt like more like myself. I kept exercising 3 times a week and my weight gain was actually less than it was with Brandon.

My ultrasound at 20 weeks was the longest one thus far. Baby girl was moving around a lot and not in great positions for measurements so it took almost an hour to get all the measurements needed for the anatomy scan. I loved it of course because I got to see more of her. We had our 20 week ultrasound on Valentine's Day and I was very nervous that either the baby had a major health issue or that they were wrong that she was a girl with my 17 week ultrasound. I was so happy when I found out that she was healthy and still a girl. She was a nice sized girl too weighing in at approximately 14 ounces (which would have put her about 2 weeks ahead of the average weight).
