IT'S A GIRL!

The title says it all....we're having a girl!  Everything looked great on the ultrasound -- pictures to come soon!

More stuff!

Here is the glider and gliding ottoman Derek and I bought yesterday. The fabric will be slightly more beige and the wood will match our crib and other furniture.

We found a crib!

Here are some pictures of the crib and changing table Derek and I ordered yesterday.  Obviously, the bedding is not ours....

Cribs and More!

Today Derek and I are going to Babies R Us to at least look at (and maybe buy) some of the furniture for the nursery that we are not going to register for....like the crib, changing table, glider, etc.  I am really excited!  Of course I won't make Derek put any of it together yet, but it will be nice just to have it ordered and then at the house.  

Only 10 more days until the ultrasound and I can't wait!  I went to the doctor on Wednesday for just a regular check-up.  When she used the Doppler to find the baby's heartbeat, she kept having to move it around to follow the baby.  She said, "Wow!  This baby moves A LOT!"  Well, the baby must be somewhat like me, cause I sure can't sit still anywhere.  

Tuesday is the official halfway point of the pregnancy....20 weeks!

18 weeks!

The First Kick!

On Friday (while at work in the O.R.), I got the first kick from the baby!  It was very strange, and by the time I figured out what happened, it had long been over.  I've been trying to pay close attention the last couple of days to see if I can feel another one, but no luck so far!  I've felt the baby move around and flip-flop for the last couple of weeks every day, so I knew a kick was probably on its way!  Besides that, nothing much new is going on.  I am getting a little bigger every week and now have had LOTS of people rubbing on my belly.  When it's my family or close friends, it doesn't bother me at all, but random nurses at work -- that's a little strange!  I've gone through a major growth spurt in the past 3 weeks!  More pictures to come soon....the picture above is an 18 week-old fetus...I will be 18 weeks on Tuesday!
