Week 18-Baby is the size of a SWEET POTATO!!!!

This, by far has been the most exciting week of my pregnancy! We had our ultrasound to find out the sex of our baby.  It was so amazing just to be able to see it again.  Our ultrasound technician said with MUCH confidence that our baby is a......GIRL!!!!!! We are so excited to meet Eleanor "Ellie" Ruth Donaldson. It was so emotional to hear that I was having a daughter! My mind instantly went to all the amazing things I'll get to do with her.

She's about 5.6 inches long and about 6.7 ounces now and she keeps on growing rapidly. (That's why I'm probably feeling so hungry lately!)  I'm feeling a lot of movement now! It's such an amazing feeling. This week I really started to feel aches in my lower back, I assume because things are moving outward and putting pressure on my back. I invested in a body pillow (which Josh loves, hehe!) which is helping me sleep better at night.  


Everyone is SO excited that we are having a girl.  Grandma O and I went on our first shopping trip for Ellie to the Carter's outlet.  Let's just say she'll already be the best dressed baby! We could not be happier and cannot wait for September to arrive!
