31 Weeks and Counting!

Here is a picture of her face with her hand over her nose.

We had another ultrasound today with the specialist and everything looks great. The doctor said our baby girl looks perfect. He said that she is "above average" size at 4 lbs. She has assumed the "head down" position too. Yikes! I have plenty of amniotic fluid and because of the size of the baby, he said my placenta is functioning perfectly. Praise God! I am borderline for having APA, but with both pregnancies, my body hasn't shown any signs at all! The doctor even said he doesn't need to see me again. We got a few good looks at her in the ultrasound but unfortunately she wouldn't cooperate when the doc decided to get a few pictures. As far as I could tell, she looks like Noah, but who knows! I truly can't believe that in a matter of weeks our family will be expanding. I am so thankful and cannot wait to meet this little one.

Our little Artist

29 weeks!

Noah loves to draw! He is quite the artist and is very serious when he creates! I am taking him to get his first "real" haircut tomorrow. I'll post more pics later!

24 weeks

Here is a profile picture of our little girl at 24 weeks. Everything is going well and she is growing perfectly! I promise I'll post a few belly shots in a few weeks.

A Quick Update

I need help deciding where I should put the pink bird for baby girl. Any suggestions??

Our little man.

Here are a few pics of Noah within the last month. He is talking so much and it seems like he learns a new word every other day. He is like a sponge and I am really enjoying this age. We are all getting ready for our baby girl to arrive. Eric is drafting a plan for a closet organizer and I am getting ready to incorporate a few "girl" elements to the room that she and Noah will share. I am saying "she" and "her" because as of now, we haven't decided on a name. I have a few that I like, but nothing that has grabbed me yet. We are also thinking we may keep the name a secret until she is here. It's always fun to have some element of surprise. I am feeling more connected to her and a few nights ago a feeling of love came over me as I felt her moving inside of me. It has taken a lot longer to connect with this pregnancy than it did with Noah, but I am slowly starting to feel a sense of anticipation for our little girl to come and join our family. Only 18 more weeks!

It's a...

GIRL!!!

We had our ultrasound yesterday and found out that we indeed have a healthy baby girl. I had a feeling that the baby was a she, but I still felt very shocked when the doctor confirmed my suspicions. We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to parent both a boy and a girl. I had a few panic moments yesterday as I thought about raising a girl and the responsibility that would be, but after sleeping on it last night, I woke up almost giddy with excitement. I can't wait for the adorable girl clothes and accessories, and more importantly, the unique relationship that I hope to have with my daughter some day. I know that just like raising a boy to become a man of God, raising a daughter in the Lord will be equally challenging. Thank goodness we don't have to do it alone. Now it's time to ask the Lord for her name and get ready!

I will post ultrasound pics soon, although they aren't the best quality.

Coming this May!

Here are a few pics of the little peanut.
