Is it a Boy?? or a Girl?? We FOUND OUT!!!!


Here is the latest pictures of little MISS Aj :) YEP that's right we are having a G I R L!!

Okay okay i know i know! When did we find out? We found out on Monday!! 
WHY has it taken me so long to let you all know???
I don't have an answer for you all... We have just been so EXCITED and relieved...

Mondays ultrasound was a 4 week follow up to the last one we had were we found out there may be problems with little miss Aj... They were unable to see the fourth chamber of the heart which was a little worrying some...and her heart rate was down as well.. Also there were signs of problems with the kidneys... So needless to say these last few weeks i have held this all away from my bloggy friends as i was trying and when i say TRYING i say it loosely...cuz come on who can NOT worry when you've been threw what i have baby wise... Its been stressful i have experienced all the emotions you could imagine and then some..I was sick of everyone telling me not to worry cuz lets face it...at the end of the day not worrying is easier said then done... BUT now that its over and done with we are so SO happy! Little Miss Aj was up and awake and moving about for her reveal :) she did really well! If your not familiar with ultrasound pictures i will tell you whats going on in this pic :)
Little Miss was smiling :) she had her hands up by her face when we first looked at her head, she sucked her thumb she yawned and then she held her nose while smiling! What a little sweety! She is growing really well she is long just like her daddy and her brother :) and she was KICKING up a storm! When we looked down at her feet and legs they were going at it at full force (explains ALOT of why i have been woken up mid sleep due to kicking!) We do have some names picked out but we are not 100% sure just yet so for now its just Aj :) 

Here is this weeks update!


Week 23
Gender:
GIRL!! :)
Size of Baby:
Aj is a little bigger then your hand now finger tip to wrist and a little over!
Movement:
We found out she is ofcourse breached :) which explains why when she kicks me she wakes me up most of the time! Not going to lie at first i was a little worried and even wondered if these were some sort of contractions?!? LOL silly me huh! So yes this weeks movements have been extremely active :) still responds to her daddys voice!
Sleep:
I am not sleeping all the way threw not that i have done do for along time...but my broken sleep has been awful lately due to leg cramps waking me up every 45mins it seems...
Cravings:
Just like last week still craving spicy hot food! Also fresh fruit has had me drooling :) also chocolate! 
Symptoms:
Fatigue, lower back pain and discomfort and leg cramps during the night.
What i miss:
Missing feeling comfortable in my skin :) im having body issues although i havent technically "gained" more then a few pounds..i am getting bigger everyday and after the struggle i have had with my weight the last few years i am fighting a demon that is itching to come out and kick my butt for letting my body change... i miss exercising as well!

WONDERFUL! I'm so happy for you. And about not sleeping all the way through the night?...you're not going to be doing that for a while! :)

Actually, my 3rd child weighed 10 lbs. at birth and slept through at 2 weeks. (At 10 lbs., infants don't metabolize their food instantly and it's about this time many sleep through.)
