It's Confirmed: It's a Baby Girl

On Friday, I went in for my 20 week appointment. My tummy was measuring right on time. We were very fortunate that the docs office was testing out a new ultrasound machine & the tech had a sales rep there showing her all the bells & whistles that the machine would do, so we got a pretty lengthy appointment! That combined with Dr. Williams had been called to an emergency over at the hospital gave us extra peeking time! All her measurements were within normal limits. This made me very happy because I was worried that I had not gained enough weight therefore maybe she wasn't growing like she should be. Dr. Williams reassured me that a 3 pound gain in a month is plenty right now and everything with the baby looked good. She is very active. Moving all the time in my tummy. I've only been able to feel kicks and movements on the outside a couple of times. It's all mainly felt inside. Can't wait for the boys to feel their baby sister kicking!!

The ultrasound tech at Dr. Williams agreed with the other ultrasound tech at Baby Vision that Baby Rainey is in fact a girl! We are so excited! Still pondering names and keeping them to ourselves to prevent any feedback. We have one we think we're pretty set on though. Most likely she'll have a good ol' southern double name, but we're trying to come up with something that isn't so popular. I mean, we don't want her to have a crazy radical name, just would rather there not be 3 or 4 in her class one day! I've used Nate & Alex's school yearbook to look through names. The name we have wasn't listed anywhere in their yearbook. So, we're hoping in the next few months we won't come across very many!

Anyway, here's the photos we got! If you click on them, it'll be bigger and you can see more!
