Even Bigger!

Not the greatest photo (I look tired, but actually wasn't...), but had to get 6 months posted for all to see the growth! We are getting even more excited as the time for the baby to arrive is getting closer and closer. We still have to finish the baby room (little more painting to do and getting the crib put together and in there). The closet in the baby's room has also been emptied and is getting put back together with the organizational shelves and the bins I think we may need....kind of hard to know what you need where when you haven't had a child before! Luckily, the shelving can be moved easily, so things may change again after the arrival.

Can't wait to see how big I am next time.....!

21 Weeks Ultrasound

We've received a gender guess of a girl from the radiologist. It was too hard to see anything as the baby wasn't cooperating with her legs! Below is the profile, it took a while for us to get this one as her face was tilted towards my back!

Some people have commented the below frontal view of her face looks like a Halloween mask....hopefully not when she comes out!!
This one of the single foot is my favorite. Probably because I like shoes so much (and am already looking for adorable ones that fit her)!!
She's a thumb sucker!! Better break that habit....

4 & 5 Months, Respectively

People have been asking what I look like now that I am just past the halfway point.....So, I thought it might be time to start posting the "growing belly" photos. As the heading states, 4 & 5 months respectively.

I finally have come to terms with the fact that although it is an amazing miracle to feel this baby inside and know it is growing, I can't maintain my weight well, or help what my body looks like very easily-or at all! But the pregnancy is nothing less than good for me, which I definitely consider a blessing!!!!

Little kicker....

I am approximately 19 weeks and Cam finally was able to feel the baby move during the Christmas Holiday! So fun, yet so weird. I never really got the soft little flitters other people talk about, just solid "muscle spasm" type movements, every so often.

My mom was able to feel the kicks too and was surprised to feel how strong our little one is! She was expecting something much less, more of a movement type bump, but she was given a nice, strong KICK!

Ultrasound photos to come first/second week in Jan!! We are excited and if we can, we will find out the gender!! We'll just see!!

Hi, Baby...

So at least after our little scare, we were able to come home with this very rewarding photo. The baby's first photo! Here, he's about 11 weeks. Because he is so young/small we had the difficulty hearing his little heart with the other equipment.

Kind of interesting, huh!?!?!!

Cravings.....

Full nine weeks now....and there are already baby fingerprints! Kind of weird to think of that much detail already being created! It's finally a "fetus!"

Still doing really well, I can't say that I have had any kind of nausea to speak of. The only food that has really given me any trouble is popcorn....yes, of all things, popcorn!

I have to say that this week the cravings have been the worst! Those 99cent Jr Bacon Cheesburgers from Wendy's are awesome.....and who can't resist a 99cent Jr cheeseburger? Then... I had to try the chicken nuggets from Wendy's and man, dip them in their BBQ-you're set! So these items are only during lunch! Dinner keeps calling on the bratwurts and polish sausages....They were really good too!

Getting Set Up

So as not to bore you with the details on the Family Blog, we are creating another to share with everyone, just about the b-a-b-y!!

There will be much more to come. Just wanted to get it started!
