Thanks, everyone! It still feels so surreal
Alice, sorry about your wisdom teeth and the cranky tech! I would be so frustrated about both. I hope you get some pain relief soon. When I had my wisdom teeth out, one had gotten infected because it was impacted but broke the surface...it was some of the worst pain I had ever had! I can't imagine dealing with that ever again, and definitely not while pregnant. I hope the antibiotics help!
Donna, so happy your appointment went well!
Proudarmywife, your bump looks so great! I can't wait until your ultrasound tomorrow
As for me, our weekend away was AMAZING! The hotel was very nice and surprisingly inexpensive. We had a great time at the museum, we ended up buying a membership because they had a promotion where they would refund your tickets for the day and you get a sizeable discount at the gift shop, it ended up being cheaper for us to have the membership. The gift shop, oh goodness, they had the coolest stuff! Things specific to exhibits like usual but they also had original versions of old board games and children's books! We got Aisling a bunch of books that we had when we were kids. We also got her an amethyst to display in her room, it is so pretty. We plan on going back this summer, they will be having a Star Wars exhibit that we want to go to (we are super nerds lol) and general admission will now be free with the membership. We also get a pair of IMAX tickets for free so we can see something else there
We saw The Hobbit Saturday night and it was so awesome in 3D! We loved it! Aisling kicked almost the entire movie so I think she liked it too
We also went out to eat at a German restaurant, it was delicious! I want to go back but it is about an hour away from us so we can't go too often.
Of course the main event was the ultrasound Saturday morning! As expected, I didn't sleep a wink Friday night
We got up pretty early that morning to have breakfast at the hotel, they had a pretty expansive free continental breaksfast that was really good. We ate at their bar because they brew Starbucks and my husband is obsessed and they had a soccer game on the TV. We love soccer so we watched it, I believe it was Tottenham vs. Newcastle. After the game we headed over for the ultrasound.
We were taken back right away even though we arrived a bit early, so that was cool
The tech was a really nice man, I believe the owner of the business. The room was big, had a huge sectional couch next to a narrow, propped up bed. It was so comfortable! You watch the ultrasound on a huge screen on the wall in front of you instead of the monitor. He told us before he started that during the entire weekend he had only had girls, we ended up being the 14th! He tried to do 4D but because of my anterior placenta you couldn't really see her well.
Here she is at 18 weeks 5 days! She was moving and kicking like CRAZY, even the tech said he had not seen a baby this active lol! He said it's no wonder I feel her all the time

We came home yesterday, my friend had been watching our pets for us. I had texted her to let her know we were having a girl because I broke down and told her before we left that we were having an ultrasound. We came home to balloons, banners, and pink "It's a girl!" Hershey Kisses arranged to say 'YAY!' on our table
It was such a nice surprise!
We also called family to let them know yesterday. My mom cried several times and my little brother said he's going to teach her how to play sports, specifically he wants to play hockey with her and "teach her how to kick all the boys' butts!"
We found out some pretty big news too, two of my SILs are pregnant! I'm not sure how far along one of them is though my husband said she was around 3 months. My other SIL is 6 weeks. They haven't told all of the family yet so I have to keep it quiet which is so hard! I am so excited!!!
I was just telling my husband that I wished one of them would get pregnant while I was (I knew one was trying and suspected the other might be too) merely hours before we found out they were!
So that was my weekend in a nutshell
I just can't stop smiling!
