12 weeks

our announcement 

excited big brother

12 weeks. We made it! It has been a long/short 12 weeks.  As weird as that may sound. 12 weeks have absolutely flown by, but in the same sense, has taken forever.

Yesterday was the 12 week u/s and the beginning of the integrated testing. Haven't gained or lost.  

The baby measured perfectly and was very active during the u/s.   Carson was so funny.  He sat next to me and continued to point out everything on the screen, the head, neck, arms, chin.  We were laughing when the baby started flailing his/her arms. Carson must have asked the tech a million times if she knew if it was a boy or girl yet. 

We go in the beginning of April to find out the gender of the baby.  I am seeing Pink and Carson and Geoff are seeing blue.  However, Carson has requested that he wants both, a brother and a sister.  I had the tech confirm there was only 1 heartbeat, which was beating at 167 bpm.  

I definitely have a small belly.  There is no denying it.  Much sooner this time around compared to with Carson.  I wore my first maternity skirt yesterday. Seriously, people should wear these things everyday.  It is so glorious and comfortable.  I  am going to invent a line of "thanksgiving" clothes that are made out of maternity clothes. ha! 

So yesterday was a very big day and now the news is out and public.  There is another Ellison on the way!!!
