Modern technology is so cool! Hubby had to go out of town for work and wasn't able to be at the "big" sonogram yesterday, so I took the next best thing- the boys. We already knew that she was a she but I was still excited to be able to see ALL of her. To learn her measurements, to see her toes and fingers, her legs and arms and to hopefully see her wiggle. Boy did we get a show!

First, we had a great technician. She went slow and explained every little part that we looked at. She did her face first. The first time we saw her face she was sitting in a profile position. As she was explaining her eye sockets, lips, nose, & mouth the baby turned to face us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a little creepy! It was as if she knew we were there to see her and she wanted to be seen. The whole room gasped with excitment and laughter. Then she really started to show off. The technician continued to go down to the spine, back, bellybutton, stomach, arms, legs, & feet. As she went to her feet, Kiatlyn closed her legs and put her feet right next to each other so we could literally see all 10 toes!!!!!!!! It was so cool! She re-assured us again that she is a girl. ;-) Then the technician went to her brain and showed us the line that seperated the two hemispheres, what each spot was in her brain and the measurement. We could clearly see the four chambers in her heart. Ethan thought that was especially cool. As the technician went through the sonogram she went especailly slow and was so detailed. Then for a minute or two every now and then she would stop just to let us watch her. Kaitlyn is going to be a ham! I can tell by this sonogram. So as the technician would stop for us to watch her, she started to open and close her mouth as if she was trying to eat. Then she started to swallow. You could see the mouth, throat, and lungs all working together. She just kept chomping away! Then she slowly raised her arms, made a fist and started shaking her whole body. We were all laughing so hard by this time. I was almost in tears. She started to shake, turn and bounce. It was so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The boys were just elated. You could see the pure wonder on their faces.  I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I just wanted to lay there all day. It was such a blessing to see her so active and having fun in there. The night before she wouldn't let me sleep. She was moving and kicking so much! I would drift off to sleep and would awake b/c I could feel her rolling. It was like she was doing flips. (Oh gosh Kaycee! Maybe she IS going to be a cheerleader??? LOL!)

Another exciting thing....I have actually gained an official pound!!!!!! I don't mean gained back what I lost, I mean I am 1 pound heavier then when I first got pregnant!!!!!!!!! YAHOO!  Never thought I'd be excited to gain weight. But I was actually getting nervous about it. I'm almost 6 months, I should have gained about 10 pounds by now. They told me that Kaitlyn weighs right at 1 pound. So, I am ALL baby! It's just amazing to me since I gained so much with the boys.

Everything is going great and I feel wonderful. Beside the back aches and few contractions I feel every now and then I couldn't be better!!! Next appointment is Oct. 1st!! Eeeeee...getting closer!!!
