We Are Having A.........

GIRL! Ok, I am totally surprised! I thought it was going to be a boy. Either way, of course, we were going to be thrilled. Her heartbeat was good and strong at 154 BPM. She is already 6 inches long and 6 ounces heavy (or light). She is quite the mover and shaker. She was punching and twirling and squirming during almost the entire ultrasound. I am sure now that I feel her moving around and she is very busy. We got to see her playing with her toes and putting her hand in her mouth (maybe a finger sucker to be!?). We can't wait to hold this little girl (but not too soon!)!

Lots of love to you all. Thanks for the continued prayers that all goes well.

Here are some pictures!

It's A Girl!

16 Weeks!

Well, we have made it to 16 weeks and things seem to be going well. We went to the doctor yesterday and heard that fast little heartbeat. The doctor couldn't get a good count though because the baby was moving around so much. I think I can feel some flutters already, but I'll be able to tell if that's what it is for sure in the weeks to come.

I think I am finally starting to feel better and get my energy back (although I am happy to grab a nap when I can!). I was pretty sick from about weeks 11 through 14, but as I said before...I'll take it if that means all is going well! I have not gained any weight yet, but most of my pants are giving me a problem.

Aaron and I are off to KC this weekend. Aaron is playing in a Hockey tournament. I'm sure this will make the weekend fly by until our ultrasound on Monday! I can't wait to report on whether we will have a boy or girl (assuming baby cooperates).
