It's a Girl!!!!

After our ultrasound on March 16, and about 45 minutes of trying to get our little ladybug to turn from being breech, we had success!! Chris and I are expecting a precious baby girl on August 26, 2011.


We also had our first baby-in-belly check up and everything looks absolutely normal. She is still a bit tiny to see all of her heart, so we head back in 2 weeks to do some more bloodwork for mommy and double check her 4 chambers have formed correctly. During the ultrasound she wouldn't show us her face for about half of it because of her position, and when she finally looked right at the ultrasound the doctor froze the screen, and when they went back to "live" view, all we saw was this, a baby foot right in our view! So cute...she was telling us to leave her alone and let her suck her thumb, which was what she did most of the time she was being video-taped. Here's a clip of that, too. She seems a bit camera-shy, so she definitely gets that trait from Daddy!!

This past week, I definitely felt her move in my belly. At first I thought it was gas and then realized it was her! It just felt like a tiny flutter from belly button to my lower right side, but it was definitely baby and I have had a few since. It seems to be after a sugary sweet, and I don't miss a butterscotch sundae about 3 nights a week :) I also can officially NOT sleep on my tummy anymore, which is a bummer because that means very little sleep. Mom and Meemaw said I was a stomach sleeper from when I was a baby, so this may be a tough habit to break....

No makeup on this morning, and getting ready for our garage sale so I will have Papa Bear take a belly pic when I look more decent this weekend. Until then....
