Our Baby Girl!


So, here are the ultrasound pictures we had taken at 22 weeks. The top picture is of her little head surrounded by her arms and little hands. You can barely make out her face-they got this shot just after she yawned! The bottom picture is a side profile (obviously). Our little baby is a little small for her due date, but the doctor said that is probably just genetic. All of her measurements were right where they should be and she is growing just fine.

I am in my 23rd week presently-- I can't believe that I am already that far along! I know I have a long way to go still though--great... :) We're really excited though! Jake is probably looking around for some pink camo to take her hunting in, while I'm just dreaming up all the little baby things I hope to make before she's born! Mom and Glendi, I'll need some help! :)

I'm feeling great, minus my issues not related to pregnancy. I am starting to get bigger every day! Its getting a little harder to get out of my couch, and boy do I have to go to the bathroom all the time! The baby's still moving around like crazy, and I'm beginning to be able to see it move just by looking at my stomach! Little updates I get week by week say that the baby could be born now and possibly survive, but once she hits 26 weeks she has an 80-90% of survival and a healthy life! Not that I want her to come that early--its just nice to know that if anything happened from here on out, we have a decent chance!

We are really excited about this summer and the new opportunities and life changes that are coming our way! We'll keep you "posted"! :)
