The Majority Rules

Yesterday afternoon we had our ultrasound. According to the poll we had on the blog the majority of people who voted said we were having a girl and the majority always rules, so after almost 45 minutes of working to get the baby to move, we found out that we are in fact having a little baby girl. She looked much bigger than Gabe did in his ultrasound and was much more stubborn about cooperating with the technician. She is also measuring one week ahead of the due date they gave me at the last ultrasound. We are all very excited, especially Gabe and can't wait to meet our little one sometime the end of December.

Half Way

I can't believe that I am already half way through my pregnancy already since I will have a scheduled c-section at least a week prior to my due date. It sure is going fast. The baby is moving a lot more the past few days. I am getting more excited as the days pass and am really looking forward to next Wednesday when we will hopefully find out the sex of the baby. I'll let you know what we find out.

My Monthly Appointment

I went to the doctor on Friday morning and heard the heartbeat (134 bpm) again. It was easier to find and sounded much stronger this month. I felt such peace and just laughed to myself as we listened to our little one's heart beat inside my belly. It is amazing even though I have been through this all before how special each pregnancy is. We were told everything is going well and that we will have our ultrasound on the 27th of this month and we will hopefully find out what we are having. I will keep everyone posted on what we find out.

My growing belly

This is me with baby (in the belly) at 18 weeks.

In my mommy's womb

Although I am not yet here my mommy has chosen to document for our family and friends our journey towards my birth sometime the end of this year or the very beginning of next year. As of right now I am 17 weeks and 4 days old and am growing strong. I have surprised my mommy with a few moves that she could feel. I am also causing my mommy's belly to begin to pop out. For the next few post I will allow my mommy to tell you how things are going with her and with me and I will look forward to meeting all those who view this blog after I am born. I will have to post pictures of the ever enlarging belly sometime soon. For now that is all we have to share, but I go to the doctor next week for my monthly check up. Check back after Friday.
