Shocker!!
Yesterday I had my ultrasound. Huge thanks to Janyse for taking Ailey to preschool!! The ultrasound went really well. The baby looks healthy and strong. The tech couldn't see any signs of my hematoma anymore. Hallelujah!! So my doctor has told me I can "ease" back into my normal life. I do have to wait until Friday to get the definitive word after my OB reviews the ultrasound in detail looking for any signs of that blasted hematoma. But I have been given the official word that I am off of bed rest!! I am hoping to be able to start exercising again...yay Valynn!! Maybe I will see you at the gym on Monday!! AND...no one could be more excited than Tyler that my months of "pelvic rest" aka no sex has been lifted!!
But we did get a huge surprise though. After two ultrasounds one at 12 weeks and one at 14 weeks where the baby looked like it was going to be a boy we found out that we are having...
Needless to say we were completely FLOORED!! We made them check and re-check and check again. Finally they were like "Look!! Here are the legs. There is nothing between them." Whoa. That just goes to prove that you cannot trust those early ultrasounds. Not that we were disappointed but it took us a minute to wrap our minds about little girl #3!! And this after we finally picked a boys name. Boys names are so hard!! But we finally picked one and everyone has been talking about "Baby Callum"!! We had a girls name that we liked...Bryn Katrin... but now that our whole paradigm has shifted we are holding onto it but open to suggestions. Feel free to send any cute girl's names our way.
Poor Kameron took it the hardest!! He was really hoping for a baby brother. Poor guy. We are trying to build up how fun it will be to be the only boy and all the special "guy things" he and Dad will get to do. Ailey, on the other hand, is ecstatic!! She is already planning out matching dresses they will wear...with matching tiaras no less. She was telling Kameron at breakfast... "Aren't you so excited for our girl baby? And Kameron said "I'll believe it when I see it! They've been wrong before!!" So true.
Katherine asked me if I had been having any weird cravings or aversions. I am just starting to be able to eat again. But I do crave pomegranates and ice cream...not together. ;) I'm not really an ice cream girl either. Things that taste disgusting to me...CHOCOLATE!! That Halloween candy nearly did me in. I ate a Krackle mini-bar the other night and had to spit it out because it tasted like chocolate covered dog food. I hope this aversion lasts!! I still have lots of things that don't taste good due to just recently getting over the morning sickness. But pomegranates are really hitting the spot right now!
So that's the latest from here. Oh...if the house is rocking don't come a knocking!! Wink Wink!!

Congrats! I hope all goes well!
I hope that house is rockin! How exciting that you are having a girl. Now I am even more excited to find you a fun baby gift.
I do feel bad for Kameron though. I am sure he was so excited. Just tell him he will always have his own room this way.
How much fun it is being the only boy? Ha! Its a life of too many mothers, hours waiting on a chair by the dressing room(which will never go away), and constantly being surrounded by mood swings. I don't think the sisters will like the last sentence. But I did not have the pleasure of a father to spend time with. Hooray for mom tagging along to father son camp outs. I am her special kid though! Much love to you sister and we are looking forward to another niece in the family!
I lose touch for a few months and I come back to a baby??? CONGRATS!!! How did I miss this? I will never leave your blog again. I know your kids must be so excited. And now your husband too. Rock on!!
Yea a GIRL!!! ANd Yea for the no longer "blasted hematoma"
You still take care of yourself!!!
OMJB - another girl! Well that's awesome. I feel your pain on how great a brother for Kam would be. Jack is asking me regularly when can he get a brother, and would we just get him a brother already? But I know you'll adore a girl as well, and let's face it, girls are so much more fun to dress. I'm so excited for you!
Also, I'm happy for your sex life and ungrateful for images it brings up!
Let's see, I will have to come up with some names for you. I love Bryn, by the way.
Shocker, is right!! Just when you thought that things were going to "even" out. Poor Kam, it's tough to take. But, I'll bet that she will have him wrapped around her little finger before he knows it.
Glad you got the green light to jump back into life. Take it easy!!
your last line had me cracking up. really!
congrats on baby girl #3~
i hope kameron adjusts and i like andrea's comment about having his own room. will that help him?
Wonderful news! Congrats on overcoming the dreaded hematoma. Hooray for active pelvic life!
Congrats on girl #3, you will all have so much fun spoiling her.
The only disappointment is in losing the name Callum, which is too cool for school. I remember suggesting it for our own #3, which also turned out to be a girl.
My brother grew up in a house full of girls and now is having all girls himself. He was a mean brother, but is the best Dad and HUSBAND ever. we trained him well. Congratulations on the sex.....of the baby, of course.
