The Ultrasound:



I was SO excited the night before our ultrasound that I has a REALLY hard time sleeping! It was really fun...the ultrasound is at the hospital where we will be delivering, not the one I see my Dr. at, so that was a new experience. At first Hannah was really stubborn and just laying on her belly and wouldn't turn over for the tech to take all her measurements, eventually she did turn over and we got the rest of the pictures that they needed. I drank some juice beforehand so that she would be sure to move around a lot...she is a little wiggler! It was really fun to watch her movements on screen and feel them at the same time...the BIG movements, like when she would stretch her legs out all the way. :)
Her heartrate was 158, she weighs about 11 ounces, and all of her measuremnts are right on track with her due date. It was fun to see what she looks like with the 3D shots...but she'll probably change A LOT in the next 20 (or so) weeks!

It's a GIRL!

:) We're so excited!!

...just one little problem....until this past weekend when I started having girl dreams, I thought I was having a boy! All my nursery ideas were for a boy, and while I think a space/robot theme would be fine for a girl, he he he, I'm afraid other people would see it and be like, "Oh, you must have thought you were having a boy!"

So now my quest is to figure out my perfect girly...but not TOO girly...nursery!
Here are two nurseries that inspire me....


I'm thinking of doing like a yellow/aqua combo...maybe using some of these Heather Bailey fabrics, and making the bedding and curtains myself.

We have a bunch of pictures of Hannah, hopefully Sweetie can get those digitized for me soon and I'll get them posted later this week! :) :)

Someone DID scrapbook today!

And it was me!
It was a little too late in the afternoon to take a good picture, but oh well...here is my page of our first ultrasound photo/first prenatal appoinment. It all seems so long ago now...but I suppose it's been almost 11 weeks already! We're getting ready for our BIG ultrasound now, so very exciting.

At Christmas I had felt baby moving a couple of times...but not much since then, but last night that baby was sure excited about something...I felt like I had a little bag of popcorn going crazy in there! I get so excited when I can feel the little one moving...I can't wait until I feel the movements ALL the time, I think that will be really reassuring. ...I worry a lot about little Kit!

17 weeks


This picture was taken last weekend when I was 17 weeks along, I feel like my belly is getting pretty huge, even though baby is only the size of a bell pepper! We were supposed to be having our ultrasound today, but it's been rescheduled for Wednesday the 21st. :) More waiting. I feel like pregnancy is just A LOT of waiting...waiting to not feel like crap, waiting for appointments, ultrasounds, waiting to finally get to hold the baby!
Holding Jenny's Addison at Christmas was really nice, she is the sweetest little thing, it makes me really anxious for our little one to get here, even though it's still 5 months away! And now looking at pictures of our new birthday niece (Ada was born on Jason's birthday!) makes me really impatient again.
I feel like any day now I'll get back to scrapbooking...my goal is to do a page on Friday. :) We'll see! We've finally gotten things cleaned up around here after getting back from our Kansas Christmas trip...now I just need the motivation to take down the Christmas decorations...mostly just the tree, we didn't do much other decorating this year.
