It's a

GIRL!

This little girl must be very relaxed in there because every time we have seen her she is all stretched out with her legs crossed. So, now we all have to get use to saying "she" and "her" =) Now..if only this little girl had a name....it's in the works.

Her money shot!

My favorite picture!! Her hands are above her head.

The big day is...

Saturday!!!

We will know if we are having a girl or a boy =) I can't wait!

15 weeks!

Hard to believe that in 2 days I will be 15 weeks. That is only 5 weeks away from being 1/2 way done!! I am waiting for the day in these next 5 weeks when we will know if we are having a baby girl or a baby boy. As of how I am feeling...I am just very tired. I am having a horrible time sleeping and staying asleep at night. It takes me a long time to get comfortable and then I wake up about 3-4 times a night. ALSO I have been having bad dreams! I am not a fan of bad dreams and I hope they are something that will go away soon.

This week I got my rented doppler in the mail. Of course I was nervous before I tried it, but as soon as I put it on my tummy we heard the fast little heartbeat. It was really cool to listen to it, but its not easy to keep up with it. Baby is moving all over and so I will find it for about 10-15 secs before I lose it. I can also hear movement sounds( I think). It sounds like wind blowing and I read that those are sounds that the baby is making while it is moving around.

My appointment is STILL a 1 1/2 weeks away so that is all I have to update for now.

Here is a picture of my definitely bulging belly!! 15 weeks? really?

For baby

Today we were hanging with our nieces and took them to Creative Hands; a place where you paint ceramics. Ben and I decided to make some pieces for baby. We found a big bird and cookie monster. It was so much fun painting the pieces and watching my nieces paint theirs. It is definitely a new favorite place to go!

Baby video

I was so happy when the tech said we could record our ultrasound so this is the middle to end video. The beginning is just a bunch of still shots and measuring. Good news is everything measured perfectly, bad news is baby had its legs crossed so we didn't get a definite answer on the sex. Baby is making us wait until 18 wks to find out! Enjoy the vid =)

Here is the profile!

Great appointment!

On Thursday I had such a wonderful appointment. Every time I have gone my blood pressure up and this time it was great and not only that but we got to hear babies heartbeat on the doppler. It made me so happy to know that baby is in there all nice and snug and best of all....growing! I go back on Tuesday for another ultrasound for them to take some measurements so I am anxiously awaiting that so I can see the little person inside me again. The doctor also said that if baby is not being a stinker then they can take a good "guess" at the sex =) I will update soon!!!

Popped out!

Well, things have been going pretty good. Things at home are great, things at school are great. I feel GREAT!! I have had no morning sickness so that is such a blessing! I have on the other hand been eating almost everything I see! It's crazy for me to think that in a little over a week I will be done with my 1st trimester. It has gone by so fast! My next doctor appointment is on Dec. 16. I am not sure what kind of appt. it is or if we will get to see baby or not.

So after Thanksgiving I have not been able to fit into any of my pants anymore. I have ballooned out and it is not at all very comfy. I have been wearing the be-band which makes it a lot easier.

Here are some pictures below of my growing belly =)
