Friday is out appointment to see our baby again! We are SOOO excited! Like I said before, we have names picked out and are ready to use one of them. The past few days I've been trying to focus on the fact that we are getting to see our baby. We will be able to know if it's healthy and how big it is. Even if we don't find out what sex it is... we'll still have a baby. AND we'll know if I can get off of pelvic rest (yay! b/c these hormones are hard to deal with!).
I'm really nervous, too, though. Because I know that this is so real. I feel the baby every day... multiple times a day... my belly is getting bigger... the stretch marks are VERY apparent... but I haven't seen our baby since December. I'm ready to see it -whatever "it" is - again.
On a side note, and I'm not sure if I've mentioned it on here before, but Saturday will be Grandpa's 63rd birthday. I think that it is pretty cool how God has everything worked out in my life: Grandpa passed away in September, October: went to graveside and asked him to put in a special word into God for me to get a baby (not that I believe that it was Grandpa who allowed me to get pregnant... just God's timing... but still cool in the scheme of things), December: find out we conceived in beginning of November, and now, the day before his birthday, will find out what the baby is. I really think that the baby will be a good thing for our family. Grandpa would really be excited, I know. For some reason I think it is a boy, and will have a personality like Grandpa: hilariously inappropriate.... which is likely, considering the kid's parents. :)
Anyway, I'll probably post Friday! :) Pray all goes well and that we can find out if this thing is a he or a she!

1/2 Way There!
Wowza. I haven't posted in a while.
Well, Tuesday marked our 1/2 way point of 20 weeks! But even more exciting is that Brandon got to feel the baby kick on Sunday!! I've been feeling it more strongly over the past week and a half, but he hadn't been able to feel it yet. My mom and sister are pretty pumped for when they'll be able to feel it. Brother, Dad, and sister's boyfriend are ok with just waiting until they can see it. :) Mom and Jess tried to feel it one night when we were over for dinner and I knew it was kicking, but they couldn't. Soon, though, I think!
Today marks 2 weeks until we find out if we'll be welcoming a boy or a girl! We are sooo excited. Our nursery plans are pretty much on hold until then. ... well, that, and waiting on our tax returns to do some more construction-type work on the room. We've decided that Dr. Seuss is for sure it if it is a boy, but I'm not convinced that it'll work if it's a girl. I haven't seen anything girly-Dr. Seuss that I like. I am really a fan of going all out glitz if it's a girl. Pink and diamonds, baby.
