Blue or Pink?

We are SO EXCITED to announce that Baby H is a girl! Harbor Joy Hillyer will be here in May and we can't wait to meet her! We had our 20 week scan yesterday, although actually I am 21 weeks (possibly 22?) at this point. The ultrasound was amazing. I love every chance we get to take a peek inside and see our little girl. She is growing so quickly and moving around so much.

Technically we cheated a little and went to an imaging center right before we left for Alabama and the holidays and found out baby's gender so that we could share the news with our families on Christmas. This was a very difficult secret to keep, so we may have slipped and told a few extra people along the way :) Although the tech there was confident in what she saw, we still wanted to hear it from our doctor who confirmed that without a doubt it is a girl.

At yesterday's ultrasound we got to double check that she has 2 arms and 2 legs (all in the right place) and we also got to see the blood flow through her body - so cool! The cutest thing was watching her wiggle around and even yawn! As if we weren't already so in love with her, that cuteness was the icing on the cake. We do have to go back for a second ultrasound next month because the little stinker is all curled up in a ball with her little hands over her face and her feet up by her forehead making some things difficult for the doctor to see. She is also laying VERY low, so we couldn't get a good look at the top of her head. Her arms blocked a good view of her heart too. Needless to say, we are not upset at getting another sneak peek at her in February.

The ultrasound yesterday actually bumped our due date up a week to May 11 (which I think is my real due date anyways based on calculations) because on how big she is. Our doctor, however, still technically has us due on the 18th, but it doesn't really matter. She'll come when she's ready!
