Our newest Baby Sortwell
I posted about our 20 week ultrasound that showed we are expecting a girl. We have finally figured out her name!!! Now, it took us a while because we had a first name, but the middle name we had chosen just wasn't working with it. Our brother's first wife's name was Kaeli Ann...and we discovered she kept his last name (Sortwell). She isn't a very nice person, so we didn't want our daughter's name to be SO close to hers. But we were pretty set on the first name. In order to make it work we decided to go with my mother-in-law's name, Robin. So, our daughter's name is...

Our Newest Baby
This week I am officially at the halfway point in this pregnancy!! And yesterday was my mid-term anatomy ultrasound. I was able to drop my oldest 5 kids at a friend's house, and my mother-in-law, mom, and youngest went to the doctor's office.
What I love about the place I'm going to is that the neonatologist I am under (while being seen by midwives) does my ultrasounds. He is the formost 4D ultrasound doctor in the area, so he does things quickly and efficiently. What used to take me an hour with the tech at the other place took 20 minutes with him! He also asked if we were finding out the gender, to which I said "YES"!!
I had this feeling I am carrying a girl, although at my last check up the heartbeat was 140-150s which is what my boys were, so I waivered a little. But the past week I felt a strong girl 'vibe'.
He checked my cervix to see if there was a change indicating preterm labor. Everything looks great and sealed tightly shut! So then, he went straight to the reason I was so excited. He asked me first, "What do you think you're having." and I said, "I think it's a girl." He took a look and said,
"Looks like the girls have it! It's a girl!"
Fionna is just over the moon excited to be getting another sister. Kayson was super disappointed at first, but today he is feeling much better about it.
Now, Bram and I need to find the perfect name for our little girl! All we know right now is her middle name will be "Ann" after his Nana Brow. (his Nana Jones' middle name is "Anna" which is pretty cool!)
