Sugar and Spice

We had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and we did not see a third leg, meaning that TBD is now a baby girl!  When the tech told us the news, I literally yelled "YES!!!"!  Michael was really happy too!  The tech really didn't get any good photos of baby girl, so I don't have anything to show...yet.  ;)  

After our ultrasound, we had an appointment with the doctor.  She verified that everything looked great with baby girl!  We also discussed my weight gain goal.  I still have not gained any weight this pregnancy and am actually down a few pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.  I was preparing to hear "10-15 pounds" since I am considered obese.  Those numbers did not come out of the doc's mouth.  The doc said that she would like me to gain NO WEIGHT AT ALL!!  Are you freaking kidding me?!!?!  I had to pick my jaw up off of  the floor.  Actually, I can gain a couple of pounds but that's just so I can be back at my pre-pregnancy weight.  She said not to diet because that can hurt the baby, but to increase my physical activity.  I can barely breathe as it is now!  How the heck am I supposed to increase my exercise?!?!   Oh.  My.  Goodness.  I'm going to try not to stress out about this, because you know, I'll probably go to my new doc in North Carolina, and she'll freak out that I haven't gained any weight!  Ahhh!    

Later that night, Michael went to to store and came home with roses for me and baby girl's first dress! I know you can't see the writing across the chest, but it says "Little Marine Princess" in pink with a picture of a crown.   

Even though Michael really wanted a boy (this was only because of his stress level when baby girl becomes a teenager and wants to date boys!), but he is so happy to be having a little girl.  I mean, he bought baby girl her first outfit on the day we found out it was a she!  That means he is ecstatic and baby girl already has him wrapped around her finger!  :)
