Week 24 and Growing

Her name is Amelia, Millie for short. Her heartrate beats at 144 bpm. She's growing every day and on track for a healthy development. She's going to be a kungfu fighter with all the kick practice she's getting. She likes it when I eat sweets so she can go buck-wild in my belly!

We're having a... GIRL!

Surprise, surprise! "Little thumper" is a girl! We found out on Nov 7. I took the entire day off for the dr visit and a little pampering. She was very cooperative during the ultrasound which made her sex very obvious. We were able to see her heart and all the rest of her body. My favorite part was when she looked straight at the camera. She is just so beautiful! It took Matt a minute or two to believe it was a girl but he finally came around. We have the entire thing on video so we'll never forget. After the dr's visit, I headed down to the baby store and started looking around at all the pink! This little one is going to be fun to shop for! We finished the evening at First Wednesday night praising to God that our baby girl is healthy. God is good!
By the way, Matt was able to feel her moving too. Its best felt just before I get out of bed and before I eat anything in the morning. Its pretty dang neato!

Enjoy the ultrasound pics of our little girl!

Week 20: Half way to blast off

I can feel our baby making slight movement just about all the time now. I can't wait for Matt to feel our little thumper too! We find out on Wednesday what we're having! Stay tuned!...

My belly shot: week 18

News Break: Our baby is growing. And, man, can I feel it. I'm 10 lbs heavier and no longer a fan of button jeans. Here's a picture to compare with week 14. I think I'll be taking more photos now as I feel like my belly is growing every day! They say I'll be feeling punches and kicks soon. Stay tuned...

Gas or Baby?

Everyone's asking if I can feel our little peanut kicking around inside me. At times I think I can feel him and then gas quickly follows. I'm excited about being able to feel him within the next few weeks! I'll of course post it when it happens.

Last week I had my 3rd doctor's appointment. This time the baby's heartbeat was 144. Not too sure what the ol' wives tale means now. Slower heartbeat- maybe the sex changed? I don't think so.

My next appointment is November 7 and that's when we'll find out if our little peanut is a boy or a girl! I am on edge and can't wait until 11/7. How will we tell our family? friends? I'm thinking about customizing some blue and pink M & M's to surprise everyone. hmm... or maybe I won't be able to hold it in-- I may just blurt it out!
