So...I found out that it's a girl. At first I giggled in disbelief. A lot of the parents I know have 2 boys or 2 girls, so even though a lot of people were saying it was a girl, I wasn't sure. It will be nice to have variety, although I would have loved a little boy too. I think they are huggable teddy bears and it would have been a nice buddy for E. Hopefully he will like having a sister too.

The one downside is that my placenta is low. It's like this in 15-20% of women at this stage. 95% of the time, it resolves itself as the uterus grows. But if it doesn't resolve, I will need to get a C-section.

Congrats on the baby girl!! That's so cool that you'll have one of each. Now you'll have to keep us posted on names... :)

Sweet! All the pink you can stand! Normally, when I find out that friends are having baby girls, I always tell them that Kate/Katie is a good name, but I suppose you already know that :-)

Haha - thanks! I'm now stressing out about the placenta; I stupidly went online and read about it. But I need to chill because it's only at 20 weeks that they start to get concerned about it.

I was told NOT to google medical stuff.. I googled an issue I thought I had and I was totally wrong.. I've had doctors tell me not to google- a lot of mis info is out there..Info could be right but should be taken w/a grain of salt.. because your traits may not be that textbook... Keep positive.. I carried low and was able to have a vaginal delivery.

Thanks Kalei. I'm glad it worked out for you. I really shouldn't have googled, but i was weak.

Wow, a girl! That's great. It's nice to have one of each, though I know either would be fine. I hope you don't worry too much. My sister is a doctor, and she gives me a lecture every time I google something of a medical nature. So far, she has been right, my fears have been unfounded, proving her right.

Congratulations on the girl! That will definitely be an interesting change, like having a first baby all over again, but not really. I hope she likes Elmo! :D

It's funny, Eric has largely let go of Elmo, but still has some affection for him.

Judy - I'm starting to relax now :) Hopefully it will all just square away at 20 weeks...
