we're having a girl!

went to the doc today. gained 1 pound. currently 154. total gained to date 24. heard the heartbeat and got measured from top of uterus to pubic bone..and confirmed that the baby has dropped into my pelvis. thankfully, i'm not feeling like the baby is going to fall out like some people have warned me about. internal exam confirms baby dropped....she's right at my cervix which sadly has not started to thin at all. ultrasound shows good amniotic fluid and that we're having a girl! got to see the big "v" in addition to some other parts....shoulder, eye socket, spine, heart. am super excited that it's a girl as we've thought that all along. now we can cut out 50% of the names we were considering. yay! that makes jimmeh happy. am still hoping that the baby decides to put me in labor on labor day. that would be great! am ready to be unpregnant and also to not be on my feet at school all day. besides, all my lesson plans are ready through mid-october, so it would be the best time if she came now! fingers crossed! xo
