20 Week Ultrasound- Baby #3

Last week we had our 20 week ultrasound for baby #3.

McKay had the day off and was able to come as well as Adalyn.  Jensen wasn't invited this time.  I was much less nervous going into this ultrasound then I was with the other 2 ultrasounds that I have had with this baby, mostly because I can now feel the baby moving which is always helpful in calming my nerves.  Everything looked great and we got tons of pictures of our little one.  None of which are digital so you will just have to imagine the ultrasound photo cuteness.  lol 

We opted to not find out the gender this time around, which means I am already looking forward to delivery day with that much more anticipation.  Good thing I have summer fun to keep me distracted.  As far as what I "think" it is, I really have no idea.  All of my pregnancies have been VERY similar except for one feature and that is how I carry the baby in the 3rd trimester.  Adalyn was super high and up in my ribs while Jensen was super low and I could barely walk for months.  So we will see, I am just going to try and keep an open mind for either one.  Because honestly either will be SO amazing. 

Adalyn enjoyed seeing her baby on the TV aka ultrasound, but honestly I think she is just dying for the baby to come out.  She has had lots of friends having new baby siblings recently and whenever we go to visit them she pretty much plants herself right next to the new baby and proceeds to stroke, pat, kiss, hug, etc. the baby.  She has even attempted to lift them, so I can already tell that she is going to be a big "helper".  With Jensen she pretty much ignored him, not in a bad way just in a "I am doing my own thing" kind of way.  I think I am going to miss that attitude this time around.   

As far as prep goes for this baby there isn't really anything to do.  We already got the bigger car that usually goes with having a 3rd child (we bought a Toyota Sienna back in Oct), and we have all of the clothes and stuff that we will pull out later.  Adalyn is in her big girl bed so the crib is ready to be set up for the new one.  I am not decorating a nursery because the kids are going to share their rooms (Adalyn will share if it is a girl, and Jensen will share if it is a boy).  So life in the baby prep department is pretty much non existent which is a good and bad thing.  I am a planner and love prepping for a new baby, but I think our check book will enjoy less prep this time around.  :)

One thing that we do have to come up with is at least 2 names (1 boy and 1 girl), and that is proving to be a challenge already...  Honestly we will probably be taking a few more then 2 names to the hospital with us and then decide on a final name after we meet the little one.  That is how we did it with Jensen and it worked out well.  But I do have a rule that we have to decide on a name within the first couple of hours.  I am not one that likes to announce a new baby to family and friends without a name. 

So right now honestly I am just trying to focus on anything but the new baby so that time will maybe pass a little faster.  Do you think it will work?  yeah probably not, Sept is going to be brutal in the waiting department!  lol  We are just SO excited to meet this new little one.
