Week 19 & 20

Where is the time going? How is it that I am already half way done this pregnancy?? Crazy!

Here is the latest update:

-Things are still going good, just getting bigger by the day and constantly being kicked from the inside day & night! (Does this girl ever take a rest??)

Oh ya...

It's A Girl!!

-Having the ultrasound was such a special experience, and I am so grateful my husband was able to be there with me. For the first time we got to see our little baby...doing flips. Literally she never stopped spinning and doing flips the entire exam. Everything was normal and healthy according to the ultrasound, and we even managed to get some pretty good shots of our little girl! (despite her creepy alien face...which I am assuming will get a heck of a lot cuter as she continues to cook!) 

-I was pretty convinced I was going to have a boy! I had read all the "wives tales" to try and guess the gender...and every single one I read pointed to boy! (I know there is no accuracy to those tests, but after every single one came back as a boy...I started to wonder!!)

-Travis and I already have so much love for our little girl! (Yes...we do have a name picked out, but you will have to wait to find that out! Just in case someone steals it...then it's back to square one!!) 

-Every single night, Travis has been trying to hear the baby's heartbeat with his stethoscope...but wasn't having any luck...but in the same night he heard the heartbeat AND felt her kick for the first time! It was so special! Even though he is still trying to convince me it could be boy...but I know his heart will melt when our little sweetheart arrives.

19 Weeks

-One of my darling (former...I have already been released after only 3 short months!) Young Women happily agreed to take a few gender reveal pictures for me! They turned out pretty good considering the wind, gross hair from work and the extreme difficulty of blowing bubble gum and looking semi-normal at the same time as my husband. (Thank heavens Samantha is really good with photoshop!!) 

Clearly we had a hard time taking a good picture together...

20 weeks! I am having such a hard time not buying all of the cute baby
things at Target!! 

I finally had to go through all of my clothes and put most of it in storage...I was getting too frustrated with trying to wear things that no longer fit! (out of sight, out of mind...right??)
