How far along: 21 Weeks, size of a carrot!

How far along: 19 weeks, size of a Mango!

Gender Predictions: It’s a GIRL!! I had more feelings toward girl then boy, mothers instinct?!;) We are so excited to have a little princess!! We kinda have known since 12 weeks that it was a girl. The ultrasound tech made a guess based on the ‘nub theory’ and she has not been wrong in 10 years of working at this office.. So we had a good feeling it was a girl BUT we just wanted 100% confirmation before announcing or buying things! I am really excited to start shopping and planning the nursery!
