It's A Girl!

During today's 24 week OB check up, the doctor was very nice and gave us a free sonogram so we could find out the baby's gender. Emily Lynn was not shy at all during this sonogram and we are so exited to meet her in a few months! Finding out the gender was almost as exciting as finding out we were having a baby. Now I can start buying cute pink outfits! :)

The appointment went well. I've put on 6 pounds over the last 4 weeks (holy smokes!) but the doctor said I'm right on track. My belly measured 21 cm, my BP was good, and Emily's heart rate was 150-155. Everything is looking good so far. The next appointment is in 4 weeks and will be the diabetic screening - not so much fun.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate them all! We hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week!

One Day Shy of 23 Weeks - 17 More to Go!

It has been a relatively quiet past few weeks, with regards to the pregnancy. The little one is getting bigger, as can be seen from my expanding stomach. I've been really bad about taking belly bump pictures, but will try to take some and post for your viewing pleasure :) The baby seems to be active - especially later in the day and into the night. I'm enjoying watching my stomach have what appears to be rather drastic muscle twitches, but I know is the baby kicking or punching.

On another note, we decided to decorate the baby's room in a Winnie the Pooh theme. I am so excited - I know it is going to be so adorable! Since Margarita's cage is in the baby's room, we are slowing trying to wean her from her cage so that by the time the baby is here, she will no longer need it. So far she is doing well and enjoys having the freedom.

Other than that, we are counting down the weeks until we get to meet Baby Lau!
