It's a girl

Yesterday, Chad, Grace and I went to find out the gender of baby #3. We found out it is another sweet girl. None of our were surprised, all assuming it was a girl. Grace was more excited about going then she was watching the baby. It is kind of hard to see all the parts. But on the way home she was screaming from excitement that it was a girl while holding the ultrasound picture the tech gave her. (And today she even took her picture of the baby to school) I feel very blessed to be able to be pregnant again while Grace is at this sweet age. She talks to the baby, kisses my belly and even watches what I eat or drink. The other day she told me to stop drinking a can coke because the baby does not like it. I tried to explain to her that it was caffeine free but she still didn't want me to drink it.

The baby looks healthy and is already measuring a week ahead. Not sure if they b/c my due date is a little off or b/c it's going to be another BIG baby. Grace was 8 lb. 10 oz and Olivia was 9 lb. 1 oz... and they were both before 40 weeks.
