A Little Behind...

Not much to report. Besides this sinus issue/cold I am fighting at this moment, I have been feeling well. I am feeling Madeleine move quite a bit inside of me. Some days I feel her more than others. She seems to really like orange juice and also pineapple juice because she goes crazy right after I drink it. One day I had just gotten finished drinking a cup of each, and my belly felt like I was on a roller coaster. It is so amazing! Nick was actually able to feel her move last night. That was really cool!

I go for another doctor's appointment next Thursday. I am assuming she will go over the results from the "20-week" ultrasound. I am guessing that everything was alright because I have never heard anything, and my doctor always says she will call if anything was wrong.

Well, I'll leave you with some photos....

18 weeks-

Please excuse the way I look...early in the morning and on my way to work.

Close-up

This picture was taken at my friend Jen's Bachelorette party. I met Jen on the peds floor where we use to work, and she is now marrying my brother-in-law Travis. She had her B-party had this place called Xpose (chair and pole dancing). Yum, yeah, that was very interesting! She was the only one out of all of us that knew what she was doing. Needless to say, the rest of us just cracked up the whole time! I was 19-weeks in this photo.

20 weeks-

Thought this was a cool picture!

One more.....

It just cracks us up when we see him laying with his paws crosses like this. He does it quite often.

We Are Having A...

We went to our doctor's appointment not sure whether or not we were going to get to find out the sex of our baby today. Everything went well. The heartbeat was nice and strong. My blood work for the genetic workup was normal. My platelet count was 150. Dr. A was fine with that but wants to watch my platelet count throughout the pregnancy. She gave us a form to have the ultrasound done in the office sometime next week. Well, the front desk lady said nothing was available until the week after next. I was thinking that I cannot wait that long! Then the lady says that we can go to an Advance Radiology office and not wait to do it at my doctor's office.

So...that's exactly what we did! We were able to get an appointment for the ultrasound for that afternoon...thank you, God! We have the ultrasound and saw that we have a VER ACTIVE baby! The baby was moving all around inside of me. Then we saw that we are having a.....

GIRL!!!!!

Yea! We are SO EXCITED!!!!!

We already have a name picked out for sure, too.

I'll post an updated picture tomorrow of my belly when I am exactly 18 weeks.
