frHi Anna,
Congratulations!!!, how exciting! Lets see, to answer some questions. I gained about 50 lbs with Gavin, but 20 came off when I gave birth. Then breastfeeding helps you loose more afterword too. Don't rely too much on the ultrasound for the sex of the baby, I've had too many friends who've gotten quite a surprise when they give birth to the opposite sex baby. I would buy neutral baby clothes and things for now. If you have to have an amniocentesis done then you'll know the baby's sex for sure. I would hold off on the baby shower until you know for sure what the sex is. Then whatever you don't get at the shower; you get. That's how I did it. As far as your energy level is concerned, it will be pretty high when you hit about your 6th month, before that you tire pretty easily. Keep me updated I'm so excited for you.
Mike and I are getting married May 27th. It's going to be a small outdoor wedding. I'm getting pretty excited! I'm working on all the details of it now. I hope we have enough money to pull it off.
We just got back from Disney World, we had a blast! We were there for a whole week. We got to go to every park and all the rides! It was so much fun. Mike took his daughter, Mikayla, and I took Gavin. I'll see if I can send you some pictures. Hey, write back to me; sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I've been so busy with wedding plans, Gavin's cub scouts, work, you know... I'll talk to you later Katie
