21 Weeks and half way there!!!

Babycenter.com has this to say about being 21 weeks: "How your baby's growing: Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well." Things are going great!! I feel good for the most part, some nausea and a few headaches but not as bad as week 10-13. I am still in awe of the movements I can feel and it makes it all more real. Can't wait until Cory can feel her move too! I still can't believe how fast this seems to be going, I am half way there!!! I just can't wait to see her. We had another ultrasound last Monday and as soon as I can I will post pictures - and it was confirmed that she is a she!!!!

19 1/2 weeks Pregnant

I really didn't want to post any belly shots of me but I have had several requests so here I am at 19 1/2 weeks.

19 Weeks and We are having a GIRL!!!

Today I am 19 weeks and the baby is the size of a Mango. We had an ultrasound on Friday 1/9/09 and they were able to tell us the sex of the baby and it looks like we are going to be blessed with a baby girl! I was so convinced I was pregnant with a boy, with all the boy dreams and just that "feeling." We are very excited about our news. People keep asking how Cory is doing, and he is honestly doing fine (for now until she is ready to start dating then that will be a whole new story) and is already calling her by the name he has picked (which isn't a name we have agreed on!). Speaking of naming the baby, this is going to be the hardest decision I think I will ever make. I have names Cory doesn't like and he only has one name on his list but I am not sure what to do about it as we know someone with the name already! What to do, What to do???!!! Tasha, I know you want pictures and I will have Cory take some today and try and post them tonight!

18 Weeks - "Sweet Potato"

This is what the bump.com says about being 18 weeks, the baby is the size of a sweet potato: "Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon." The cool thing is I have been able to feel movements now and then and it is so amazing. When it first happened I was thinking to myself "what was that?" and then realized that it was the baby moving! All I can say is WOW!!!! The best part of this week will be on Friday when we go to the doctor for the BIG ultrasound. Will it be a boy or girl??? There is still time to vote!
