...you'll have to wait and see!! We made the decision to wait and be surprised! This was a little hard for me, since I love to find out the sex of my babies and start the planning. I knew that Roy wanted to wait and I knew that it would mean a lot to him if I gave in to his wish, so I did. I figured since we have one of each already, why not? This appointment was very different from our previous two. With Caroline, I remember crying instantly when she appeared on the screen. With RoyBoy, I remember it being so quiet in the room as Roy and little Caroline watched and pointed to their baby. This time? SCREAMING from Roy Austin as I lay on the table and the technician put the jelly all over my belly. He thought the technician was hurting me and he kept yelling, "Mama, Mama!" Caroline was into seeing the baby for about 2 minutes and then she was bored. Poor Roy said he really didn't get to enjoy the ultrasound because he was busy keeping them quiet. I really thought they'd like to experience the appointment! But, we were SO thankful that this little blessing is perfectly healthy. When you go for an ultrasound, you kind of hold your breath as the technician scans over everything. She knew what she was doing and moved so quickly over that little 9 oz. body. Everything checked out totally normal and Roy and I are so relieved. As I left the hospital, I told Roy it was kind of anti-climatic. With the others, I left giddy, glowing and on my cell phone to share the news before I pulled out of the parking garage. This time, there was no need to call anyone. But he reminded me that in October when Dr. Stein says, "It's a _________!" that will be the fun part. I totally agree!! I say it's a girl:) The little snapshots of our baby feature a cute profile with a little stubby nose. I can't wait to meet this baby!
Here is the first belly shot I've taken, too. 18 weeks and poking out. I have started the maternity wear, which is so comfy. I still continue to feel great and my new favorite treat is to freeze lemonade for about 1-2 hours in the freezer and have a lemonade slushie. SO yummy!

I was JUST thinking today that you needed to start posting pics of your growing belly. So glad to see it and you look ADORABLE! I love pregnant bellies. It's so cute and you look great Donna.
I CANNOT WAIT to meet this baby too. His/her profile is so cute! They will be adorable like all your others. Your description of you ultrasound experience sounded so funny. I can just see Roy Boy being all worried about you and calling out your name. haha! I'm so happy to hear you have a healthy little 9 oz baby right now. Thank the Lord!
Oh, and I say it's a girl too! Profile looks like a girl to me!
You are going to love finding out what the gender is the second that baby is born! It truly is the best! I am so happy for you!
And hottie mommy! You look like a pastel color pencil with a bump on the left side on it!
Love the description of the children and Roy during the US. That's just how it is the more kiddos you have.
I'm so happy for you Donna! Love you too!
I'm so glad you didn't find out the gender. It will be such a nice surprise when (she) finally gets here and Roy comes out to the waiting room to tell us what it is!!! I'm so looking forward to that. In the mean time, you can just enjoy your pregnancy knowing that the baby is healthy and protected in your little tummy. I love the pics of your baby belly, too. So happy for you and your family, Donna. ILY
Hey Donna, I wanted to say Congratulations on your new addition, I haven't had the chance to tell you with everything so crazy on my end. You look adorable with your bump! If I had a third baby I would have done the same thing with waiting to find out! I'm a sure your baby will be as adorable as the other two you have already! Enjoy!
Yeah....can't wait!
I TOTALLY fell for that! How fun to be surprised!
Donna, you are TINY! Love the pic of your little bump. :)
Good girl for holding back and not finding out! (or did you? you stinker!) It will be a nice surprise!
You are tiny in the baby bump profile!
Donna, can you have your OB/GYN send me a personal message in the mail telling me what the sex is? How will I ever wait? I can't stand the suspense. You don't mind do you?
I think it is great that you are going to wait for the surprise. If I had a boy and a girl first, I would love to have done that. You will be glad later. It will be so exciting. You do look great!
First of all, congratulations on your adorable and healthy baby!!! It is such a wonderful experience when the doctor says, "It's a..." The tears will come then! Declan and I loved the wait!
Secondly, you look FANTASTIC!!! I think my belly sticks out farther than yours does now (with no baby it it)!!! Way to go Donna, oh and I heard I owe you a long over due letter...
I am so glad to read that all is going well the Baby Graham. Thank you for posting the ultrasound photo and your profile...looking great Donna!
Hahaha! We had the same experience with Sara at Bobby's ultrasound. Poor David was too busy keeping her quiet to really enjoy it. I'm so excited for you and I'm thrilled to hear that Baby Graham is healthy!
Donna, you are so tiny! LOL at Denise's pencil description, but so true. Such a cute little belly. You're getting into the good stage of pregnancy where you're not 9 months huge but you look pregnant and still feel good...fun, fun.
Ahh, so glad you are waiting for the surprise. We did with Max (but not with the twins) and it really is fun for you guys and for all your friends and family. But selfishly I would LOVE to know what you're having! :)
Keep up the great healthy pregnancy and October will be here too soon!
I NEVER found out what I was having and it was so fun! I think that is what got me through the labor!
I am so glad everything is looking good! A real answer to prayer! ( I had a sonogram at 20 weeks with no heartbeat.(Shae was 2)..so I am a pregnancy prayer warrior!)
You DO look great! What a beautiful Mommy!
Can you send those pictures to my facebook and to my email or is that possible or too much trouble?
So glad all is well Donna. We didn't find out with Madison and it made the delivery so exciting and special. Praying for a healthy rest of your pregnancy.
I know what you mean.. nothing is the same with the third everything. its crazy! but so excited with you not knowing (and us bloggers). i didn't find out with lexy and the whole family etc was in the waiting room waiting to find out. It was really exciting. The doc even siad she didn't know and was excited. Glad to see everything is well and baby is healthy!
