Ultrasound Pictures

I finally got our little girl's first pictures scanned in. :) Enjoy.

Her profile. Doesn't she look like us already? ;)

Her thinking pose. :) This is her arm with her hand brought up to her face and her pointer finger is resting on her cheek like, "Hmm..." :)

A foot! (I dunno, it looks a little blurred to me. Almost like a dinosaur foot or something. She must've been wiggling when we took this one. :)

Her spine all the way down to her little bum.

We're having a girl!

Despite our predictions, we are having a girl and are mighty excited about it! David's mom and my dad guessed it--guess parents really do know all. :)

During the ultrasound, she was as spunky as ever. She wouldn't let the doctor get a good shot of her face. Every time he tried, she'd turn her head the other way. And when he wanted to get a steady heartbeat, he had to try a few times before she would hold still long enough for him to get it. :) She's as healthy as can be with all her fingers, toes, heart chambers, and everything else.

We love our baby girl! :)

A Sweet Baby Moment

Last night I was sitting on the couch when little baby started moving all over the place & kicking wildly. As usual, I started talking to the little squirt and then put my hands over my belly. The movement stopped. I took away my hands, and the baby was at it again. Hands back, movement stopped. It was so cool. I totally felt like the baby just wanted a little of mommy's attention & lovin'. It was a neat experience. :)


PS. I can't wait until Monday when I can stop coming up with creative ways to not say "it" & can just say he or she!

20 Weeks Pregnant Pictures

So my belly is finally showing! :) We're halfway there and get to find out the gender in one week--September 14 at 3pm. We'll make sure to post the ultrasound picture. :)

Look! You can see the bump!

In his spare time in Seattle,
David made this blanket for our baby.

Finally, you can tell that there is indeed a baby in there!

We got a great deal on a crib and mattress, so we bought them already. Today, David and our nephew Ellis set it all up. It looks fabulous. Now we just need all the cute stuff to go with it!
