24 weeks and counting

I have now hit the 24 week mark in my pregnancy.  We had the ultrasound two weeks ago.  The girls went with us and were able to hear the heartbeat and see the baby move on screen.  We are so blessed to already have 3 beautiful children!  We thank Heavenly Father everyday for this.  We are excited to add #4 to the Yoshioka team.  Everyone we talk to says, "It has to be a boy.  The odds are against you."  Matt is not convinced.  He believes it is another little girl.  We compared the pictures from the ultrasound with Nora's ultrasound pictures and we know one thing -- they have almost identical noses.  I am not sure if all babies look the same at this point in development, so that does not necessarily mean anything, but we are excited none the less.  A boy would be exciting too.  I am not sure what we would do with him as we are very practiced at having girls, but we would manage.  We don't really care what we have, just as long as he or she is healthy!

The girls have also felt the baby kick and are constantly asking questions about it's size and weight and how much longer.  I keep telling them that it will be here before we know it.  I will keep you posted too!
