Just Kidding! We're not that mean.

IT'S A BOY!

So congratulations to Grandpa David, Ali, Nicki, Aunt Teri, Aunt Kathy, Dana, and Dr. Van Kessel for guessing correctly!

Cheers!

UltraSound

We had the 18 week UltraSound yesterday. Our baby is very healthy with all the normal measurements. Click on the picture above and you will see an enlarged view and the baby's profile on the UltraSound Screen. I will post whether we are having a boy or girl after I've had a chance to tell all our family in person at Christmas.
Happy Holidays!!

So True

Kicking!

I am definitely feeling little kicks now. When I was at the doctor yesterday, she said she could even HEAR the kicks through the doppler and wasn't surprised I could feel them. Though most women don't start feeling kicks until their 18-20th weeks during their first pregnancy, it's possible to feel them as early as 16 weeks (I'm 17 weeks now), especially women who've been pregnant before since they know what they feel like. At first I thought they were little gas bubbles or muscle twitches, but they are slightly different and a little stronger. I can't wait until they are strong enough for Phil to be able to feel.

By the way, the baby has a wonderful, strong heartbeat. It's music to my ears! My doctor is predicting a boy since the heartbeat sounds like a train. Girls apparently sound more like a galloping horse. Of course that's not exactly a scientific measurment, so I'm not taking that too seriously. We'll hopefully be able to tell next week, but my doctor said not to get my hopes up because 18 weeks is still a little early and the baby will have to be in just the right position to be able to see.

I've gained the appropriate 4 pounds since my last visit and my little bump is exactly as big as it should be, according to the doctor.

Guess the Birthday

Another chance to play along. Post what day and time you think the little one will be born. My due date is May 21, but only 5% of babies are born on their due date... Will I be one of the lucky ones?

Closest one wins...tbd...

Boy or Girl?

Here's your chance to post whether you think I'm having a boy or girl. I will reveal the answer on Christmas Day (assuming we were able to find it out at the UltraSound) so place your bets before then. Otherwise, I won't believe you if you say, "I knew it!"
