19 Week Doctors Appointment

Today we had our BIG ultrasound at 19 weeks! The doctor confirmed~ IT'S A GIRL!!! She weighs 10 ounces & is very healthy. They measured her bones & body and we got all check marks which was good. We saw her holding her foot which was so cute. She is definitely her fathers daughter because she can't sit still! I swear her profile looks like mine and the tech even commented on what a cute nose she has. We should start to feel her kick any day now & we can't wait!

My little Sweet Potato

18 Weeks!
Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato), and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place.

Countdown!

My Dad & Sandy have been generous enough to give Mike and I their time-share this summer in Hilton Head Island, SC! My parents took Jill & I there every summer when we were little kids and I haven't been back since the week I first met Mike 6 years ago (that's a true story!). I remember talking about him all week and calling him 50 times from Hilton Head. I am really looking forward to sharing my childhood vacation spot w/ Mike & it will be Baby Halle's first trip there as well. Thanks Dad & Sandy!!!

Another Great Pregnancy Moment!

Today I was walking down the hallway at work and felt like my shoes were lop-sided. I looked down and had on 2 different shoes and 1 was black & 1 was brown! Mike came to the rescue and brought me the correct shoe.

It's a GIRL!!!

Today we found out the best news ever~ IT'S A GIRL!!! We surprised our parents for Mother's Day and took them for a 3D ultrasound and gender determination. We had them meet us in a parking lot and I wrote a poem telling them what we were doing. We got to hear the baby's heart beat, see her sucking her hand, swallow & hiccup, and move all around. I was so nervous, when the technician asked how far along I was first I said 6 months, then I said 6 weeks- finally Mike had to answer for me. I wore pink hoping for a girl and my wish came true! It was so wonderful to share this experience w/ our parents especially since none of them have really ever seen an ultrasound. We are so happy & excited for our little girl!!!
