Snow baby

On Thursday, Texas got a record breaking snow storm-up to 12 inches!!! For Texas that is definitely not a common winter occurrence. If anything we might get an ice storm or maybe 1/2 to 1 inches of snow. Needless to say everyone here was very excited. I decided to make a snow baby since this is technically her first now =)

I think I figured it out

At 20 weeks the books say Jacie is now the size of a banana but I am still not feeling her move around (or at least I dont think I do) Well, for the last 2 nights I have done the following; drink a glass of orange juice and sit or lay on the couch. I believe she likes the taste of orange juice because I am certain I am starting to feel her move around in there. It just feels like someone is popping bubbles on the inside of my belly =) I can't wait to start feeling her more!

20 weeks!

I can't believe I am 1/2 way done baking this little girl. The last 20 weeks have flown by and have actually been pretty easy. My list of symptoms includes a few headaches here and there, gagging when I brush my teeth, sleepless nights from trying to get use to sleeping on my side and having a lot of growing pains in my lower tummy. We will have to wait and see what the 2nd half has in store.

Here are 2 pictures for comparison!

Just starting out at 6 weeks

1/2 way done at 20 weeks

And her name is...

I have to say I am very proud of myself and how her letters came out. I love how it looks and I can't wait until her furniture (which we ordered today) comes in so we can put her name above the crib. More pictures to come!

20 week ultrasound

This morning I had my autonomy scan and all was perfect. Baby is measuring right on target and all her insides and outside parts are in place =) When the ultrasound started she was busy playing with her little foot! I love seeing her move around and stretch our her legs and arms. I believe I am close to feeling her move around. I think I feel her at some times but I am still not sure if that is her or not.

Since we now know 100% that baby is a baby girl we are fully geared up to begin work on the nursery. This weekend we are going to buy the furniture. I bought a quilt today for her bedding also. The most fun thing I have done so far is making her name letters. I hope they will looks good hanging above her crib, but I guess we will find out soon! I am not very creative but thought it would be fun to try to be =)

We are lucky to already be starting with a cute room!
