IT'S A GIRL!

Today we went for our sonogram.  It was somewhat surprising but also very exciting to find out that we are having a girl.  It was a wonderful experience to hear the doctor explain what we were seeing from top to bottom, to see her strong heartbeat, long fingers, and toes.  What a neat experience! 

He was having a difficult time determining the sex, but after some prodding around and getting her to uncross her legs, we could clearly see it was a girl!

The doctor snapped several photos which I have, and I've posted a couple of them below for you to see.

Now time to decide on a name and prepare for our little daughter's entry into this world!

Waving her little hand.

Sucking on her thumb. How sweet :)

21 weeks and counting!

Hi everyone!  I have decided to start a blog as Jared & I start this new chapter of our life.  We are expecting our first child on December 29th, and this week marks my 21st week of pregnancy.  It seems like it has gone by SO fast, yet it seems unreal to me that in a little over 4 short months we will be accepting a baby into this world as a gift from God for us to nurture and train.  Wow.  

Well, it has been a great pregnancy so far...no real morning sickness...just a lot of sleepiness in the 1st trimester.  Now that I'm in my 2nd trimester I have a lot more energy, and I'm also feeling the baby kick, which is amazing.  On Tuesday morning, I will have a sonogram to find out what we're having..boy or girl?  So stay tuned...

Today Jared cooked a great brunch for all 3 of us(baby has to eat too!).  One of his specialties...Eggs, Sausage, bacon, cheese, hashbrowns, & pico on corn tortillas.  Yummy!  So blessed to have a man that cooks.
