IT'S A GIRL!!!

We are so excited to say that we are having a little girl!  We had our ultrasound yesterday, my mom and mother-in-law came with us to the appointment!  The ultrasound tech said she looks good, weighs 10.5 ounces!  She was so adorable in there, turning, flipping, kicking & climbing (yes climbing!) she also kept putting her arm in front of her face! Maybe she is shy?!  We have picked out a name (as long as I don't change my mind about 10 more times).  Her name is Leighton - middle name still in limbo but we have 2 in mind.  Here are some pictures from this weekend.  I was 19 weeks 1 day in my preggo pic!  Her nursery progress is going to begin soon, we have picked out bedding & paint and I am so lucky to have such a great family that is wanting to buy buy buy!! 

Isn't her little profile too cute?!?

17 Weeks!

I finally took a belly picture last Sunday so I was 16 weeks 1 day, hopefully tonight before the hubs and I go on our date he can take a picture for me!  We are getting soooo excited about the ultrasound, I wake up every morning and announce how many days we have left, today is 16!!  I am excited about finding out the gender but I am also just really excited about seeing our little sweet baby, I've only had 1 ultrasound and I was only 7 weeks so to me (and this may sound bad) but the baby looks like a fish!  I am going to start working on the nursery today, as of right now, as I type, this room is our computer room and it also looks like a tornado came through.  I haven't been doing much with it because I knew it would be the baby's room soon but we are running out of time because we are getting new carpet in February so I better get to cleaning it out!! I would take a before picture but honestly, I am ashamed!  You will see the nursery progress though, I think I am more excited about that!! 

16 weeks 1 day

15 Weeks!

I cannot believe I am 15 weeks already!  I feel like it is going by too fast but also too slow!  We have an appointment tomorrow, just a check up and we get to hear our baby's heartbeat, can't wait!  February is when we find out the gender, I have already been looking for bedding and nursery ideas, looking for both genders of course.  Mikey and I found one we really like for a boy yesterday.  Well I am 2 weeks into my 2nd trimester, and my appetite was beginning to return in the last week until Thursday night, I got sick in a restaurant, that is always exciting, I also got sick Friday night and had a hard time eating last night.  Hopefully it will all pass soon!  Other than that, I am still tired sometimes, I think I just accustom to being lazy from the first trimester, I was so on edge the whole 13 weeks, if I thought I needed rest, I did and now trying to get back into the swings of things is hard!  I am trying though!  

I have hit some exciting milestones, I FINALLY started showing, at first I was paranoid just thinking I looked like I had a popbelly!  I am officially in maternity work clothes, and I am hanging onto my skinny jeans but I am pretty sure I will have to retire those soon!  ALSO, last week, I felt the baby MOVE! I'm not feeling actual kicks yet and it is only at night when I lay down and I am really still that I feel our sweet angel moving around in there!  It feels like someone is gently pushing with their index finger but from the inside.  It was amazing!  I look forward to it every night now!  I also felt it yesterday during the day, I think our little baby is just really active, probably trying to send a message to mommy to stop being so lazy!! :)  I am sad I haven't taken any belly picks but I am going to start today, plus I love my little belly now!!  

We went to our doctors appointment on Monday and got to hear our baby again!  Dr. McGowan said his/her is strong and about 160 bpm!  We FINALLY get to see our sweet baby Feb. 7th!! AND find out the gender!! I am SOO excited! Hopefully I can post some belly pictures soon! :)
