It's a Girl!

I haven't blogged much about the new little one on the way, but this is dedicated to her. Yes it's a girl. We kept thinking my doc would have scheduled a sono by now, but he hadn't. I didn't really know what the schedule was with a singleton - I had sonos all the time with the twins. Once a week towards the end! Anyway, normally you only get two I guess. One at 12 weeks and one at 28 weeks. Well, the 28 week sono isn't until 12/30 and we really wanted to know if it was a girl or boy before then so we could do the nursery during the holidays. It's really the only good amount of time John will have off before this thing comes. He has to take 2 or 2-1/2 weeks off before the end of the year or he loses his vacation. Well, I can't let that happen so he's taking the time off! Anyway, we decided to pay for a gender check sono and had one yesterday. They confirmed, yes, it's a girl. John was hoping for another little girl and I have to admit, I was kinda hoping for another little boy. Since Abby can't be an only child, I really think she would have made a perfect "only girl". Plus, I had grand plans of putting bunk beds in the boys' room and we'd all live happily ever after. :-)
Now that we know what the sex is, John and I have to start thinking of names. We had our second pick the first time around that we were going to use, but John's rethinking that. So, the debates will soon start on a name. I've already got my list going, but I need John to start thinking about it. We also have to go pick out new furniture and get that ordered. Looks like we'll be picking out little girl furniture. I'm hoping to reuse the crib bedding, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. Abby loves her bumpers and we tried taking them out once before...it didn't go well at all. When we installed the crib tents we took 2 bumpers out and left two in as a test. Abby screamed for 3 days until I put them back in. Both the kids really sleep on them like pillows since they're so fat; except their pillows go all around their bed. How nice is that!
Everything has been going well so far with the baby. No issues with her; I've had some issues with my bladder this time around and so my OB has me also seeing my Urologist throughout the pregnancy just to make sure everything remains okay and no further complications arise.
I'm also still trying to decide if I want to deliver this baby naturally or via c-section. I like the predictability of the c-section, but I've heard the recovery is so much better when you deliver naturally. I really can't complain on the recovery of my c-section it actually went well, but since I'll have two two-year olds to chase after this time around, it would be nice if I could move around sooner. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
