Lyndon was able to make it to this appointment with me. Something always came up the last pregnancies, so he was never able to make it to the anatomy ultrasound. He made it this time!!! So, we found out together that Haines Baby #3 is healthy, active, right on track and....
A GIRL!!!!
We will be adding a little sister into the Haines family! We are thrilled! We have decided on the name
Olivia Mary Kayline Haines
The middle names are honoring the grandma's of the family: Mary-Gaile, Kay, and Arline
Here is an update on our little girl:
ABOUT OLIVIA: Ultrasound looks wonderful! Olivia was doing wonderful, wiggling around in there. Wiggling so much, the doctor had a hard time getting measurements. Very active baby!!!! She is around 6 inches in length and around 8-9 ounces. Everything looked good. Heart, lungs, brain looked great! She is growing wonderfully and right on track.
WEIGHT GAIN: (From starting weight) 5 pounds. I gained 4 pounds since my last doctors appointment. They were very pleased to finally see some weight gain. So was I!
SYMPTOMS: Achey pelvis, hips and stomach muscles. Everything is stretching and moving at a rapid rate right now and I am definitely feeling it! I'm still tired. Not as tired as I have been, but bedtime sounds wonderful every night. I have had a few bouts of morning sickness (Still! Ugh!) But, nothing too bad.
SLEEP: Much better since my last update. My coughing has gotten better so I am able to sleep better during the night. The boys are growing, so they are going to bed earlier and sleeping harder through the night. We haven't had anyone in our bed for the last week, so that has been nice.
CRAVINGS: Sweets!!! Cookies, Cakes, Candy, Chocolate!!! It's awful! I'm trying really hard to avoid it, but I give in every once in a while to satisfy the craving.
BEST MOMENT: Finding out we are having a girl!!! I'm going to have a daughter for the first time! Lyndon was also thrilled! We high-fived in the ultrasound room when we found out.
LOOKING FORWARD TO: My relaxing trip to Idaho for a few weeks! We are leaving this afternoon.
19 weeks down.... 21 to go! Almost half-way there!
