Just a quick post to update anyone that missed out on yesterday's news...
We are having a little girl! We are very excited and she looks great. All the measurements are right on and she was very cooperative with the tech to get all the measurements he needed to get. Hopefully that means she'll be a cooperative kiddo. :)
We have decided to name her Elaine Marie. This is a combo of John's Mom's middle name and Amanda's Mom's middle name. We are going to call her Lainey.
Ultrasound photos will be up in a few days when I get the scanner reset. Love to you all!!

Babies, dogs, and elbows
In baby news, our appointment yesterday went well. The baby's heart rate was 146 and sounding good. We have an appointment set for Friday at 3:00 for an ultrasound and hopefully the baby will show us whether it's a boy or a girl. As for me, my belly has popped out a bit and my own jeans aren't comfortable anymore. My CT scan was negative for active bleeds, but they can't see any potential aneurysms. We may have to redo it with contrast later in the pregnancy or have an MRA to determine if there are any problems.
Landis has decided he doesn't like his job as a service dog in training. We are in the process of figuring out where he's going to go, be it with us for a little while, or someone else adopting him right away. It's a little disappointing that he didn't make it, but at least I'll have a say in where he goes. He's a good dog and learned all of his commands, but was frustration barking and whining when in the presence of other dogs or animals. He has never liked being restrained when he thinks he wants something on the other side of a barrier. I thought he'd grow out of it, but I guess not. We'll see soon where he ends up going.
In elbow news, John's MRI showed no tears or damage to his ligament. He has some fluid where the muscle connects to the joint, so they think it's a bad muscle strain that hasn't had enough time to heal. He's on four more weeks of rest and a slow build back to pitching. We hope he'll get back to playing sometime in late June/July.
We'll update you after our appointment on Friday with the gender news!!

Some baby news and other news too
Well, last week on Wednesday night, I felt what I can say for the first time was about 15 seconds of for sure baby flutter. I'd felt a few flits and twitches before this, but this time I knew it was definitely baby and not the burrito I had for lunch. It's pretty neat! I haven't had a continuous flutter since then, but still getting those flits and pinches. Our next doctor's appointment is May 19th. We will likely make an appointment for another ultrasound for that week and we hope to find out if it's a boy or a girl then.
In other news, I finished my last day at work on Saturday. It was also my official goodbye to Lexi. I didn't expect to get too emotional since Lexi has been cared for by other people for about 3 months now, but I guess being pregnant and the fact that I've had her for 10 years got the better of me. It was a tough goodbye, but one that is best for both of us. She is being doted on and spoiled to pieces by a lady I used to work with. I have an open invitation to come see her any time and Suzi is going to email me pictures and updates regularly. Lexi is currently living at Remuda where she lives the easy life munching hay and going for a couple of trail rides a week. Suzi is really enjoying her and I couldn't have asked for a better situation. It was totally set up by God and we all know His plans are the best ones!
Unfortunately, at this point, John's elbow isn't feeling too good. So we don't know what is going on in the baseball arena right now. We are going to San Diego this week for John to have an MRI and see the team doctors. Hopefully we can get a diagnosis and it's nothing too serious.
Love you all!
