A little sooner than usual

Okay, I hate to raise expectations amongst my many fans by posting again so soon, but I feel like a new new baby update is in order.  Don't get used to this.
I just feel like this little one deserves it's own post, even though right now there aren't too many pictures to post...But, come April 6, we will hopefully be able to post a very revealing one!  Not really, but we are having our 18 week ultrasound that day to find out whether Julia will be having a little brother or sister.  Can't believe this is less than 2 weeks away!!  This pregnancy truly is flying by for me.
Another new and exciting piece of news is that this baby loves to move!  I know everyone tells you that you will feel the second baby move sooner than the first, but I really can't believe that Julia moved this much this early.  Surely I would have noticed!!  I think I felt her for the first time around 21 weeks or so.  I first noticed this little one's kicks and thumps a couple weeks ago but now I am feeling movement all the time!  Especially when we are listening to music.  I think we've got a dancer in there.
And finally, on the big sister front, Julia has gone back and forth between telling us she'll be having a little sister or a little brother.  Right now it's brother.  She really has no clue what is about to happen, but she did start talking to the baby every now and then.  She will lift up my shirt and say "Hey, Baby."  She'll also tell us she's going to hold the baby on the couch.  She is going to be an awesome big sister, whether she knows it or not...

I cannot wait to find out what you are having. I asked Ellen and she says Julia is having a brother and she is having a sister who is a boy...ha
Either way I'm so excited to find out if I'm having a niece or nephew!!

oh this baby is totally messing up the blog title. What will math whiz come up with next! I am saying boy for you and I have thought that from the very beginning. I cannot wait to hear. You really can feel the 2nd one a lot earlier. Isn't it crazy

Wow- it IS going fast! I can't wait to hear what it is!! I'm always dying to find out what everyone is having. That sweet girl sure is going to be a great big sister! It's good that she isn't adamant that it will be one or the other for too long. She recognizes that it's 50/50, how smart she is:)
