*Three weeks later*
Today is another appointment. I could possibly find out the gender of the baby. So Ethan and I are getting ready right now, then we're going to pick up Grayson and Shyann. We quickly pick them up, then head to the Obstetrician. "So.. You may be able to find out the gender today?" Gray says. "Yeah" I say quietly, grabbing Ethan's free hand. "Why are you nervous?" Ethan says, rubbing his thumb over mine. "I don't know. I don't like to be checked out" I say, begiing to panic a little when we pull into a parking space.

I feel a little bump in my belly. I gasp. "Guys.. It just moved!" I say, rubbing my hand over the tiny bump that has formed. "Oh my gosh! How did it feel?" They all say. "It feels weird. It's still moving" I say. The baby moving makes me feel kind of sick. "Can I feel it?" Ethan asks. I nod, because if I open my mouth I'll throw up. He lightly places his hand on my stomach. I grab his hand and push it a little harder. "You won't hurt me, or the baby by putting a little bit of pressure" I say, rubbing his hand over my belly. He looks up at me with the biggest smile ever.

He slowly puts his hand back down and we walk in. We check in and wait for my name to be called. After about ten minutes of sitting there and the baby being pretty active my name gets called. We all walk back there. I sit on the bed, while everyone towers over me. I grab Ethan's hand and squeeze it. "It's okay sweetheart. All we're going to do today is check your weight, check the baby's heartbeat, possibly find out the gender, take some urine and blood samples, then you'll be on your way home" She says, rubbing my arm in reassurance.

I nod and smile. "Okay, let's go over here and get your weight" She says. I walk with her and step on the scale. 132.3 "Your weight is perfect. The first three months you should only gain about a pound a month. Then, after that you should gain a pound a week. You've gained exactly what you're supposed to" She says and I step off the scale, then go back to the room. I sit on the bed again. "Have you felt any movement?" She asks me. "Yeah, when we pulled in I felt it move for the fist time" I say. She nods. "Well, now that you've felt it move, ~hopefully we'll get the gender so we won't have to call it it anymore~ you'll feel it move more when you aren't moving or walking, so here comes sleep problems now" She says. "You can take Melatonin at the lowest dose to help you sleep at night, it is natural and our body produces it anyway, so it is safe for the baby, jut don't take over five milligrams" She adds. "Thank you" I say.

"Now, I'm going to take your blood pressure" She says, putting the cuff on my arm. She takes it. "120 over 80. That's very good and very normal. I would purchase a blood pressure cuff or machine to take every once in a while, just to make sure everything stays okay" She says. I nod. "Go pee in this please" She says, handing me a cup and sending me to the bathroom. I come back and give it to her. "Thank you" She says, leaving the room. "Now I'm going to take your blood" She says. I grab on to Ethan's hand and hide my face in his chest. "All done" She says and leaves the room again.

She comes back in and motions for me to lay down. "I'm going to need you to pull your shorts down just a little and tuck your shirt under your bra please" She says. I do as told. She puts a napkin type thing over my shirt and shorts, tucking them under a little. "This is going to be really cold" She says, putting some gel on the wand thing and placing it on my belly. I gasp at the coldness and squeeze Ethan's hand. She moves it around and finds the heartbeat. We all start crying. It's such an amazing sound. "Now, let's find out the gender" She says. She swirls the wand around and presses down in a certain area. "Do you want to know the gender?" She asks me. I nod. "It's a girl" She says. We all have huge smiles on our faces.

"we're gonna print out the pictures ans send you on your way" She says, quickly doing what she said. "See you in a month" She says. I nod and walk out to the car.

A girl. A girl! I've always wanted a little girl. It might be a little early in life, but I'm very excited and wouldn't trade this feeling for the world.
