IT'S A GIRL

Another girl will be joining our family in April 2016. Maggie is beyond excited to have a little sister. She already started putting her "baby stuff" in the nursery. Name to be determined as Brian and I don't see eye to eye in the name department. I want old and classic (hence Margaret) and he wants more traditional American simple. We will get there though.

Our little girl is 13 ounces already. She is healthy and has a big head. I am losing weight and no where near what I should be weighing so my homework for my week 24 appt is EAT! If I am not at a good weight I will have to keep a food journal.
