23 weeks

Cameron swears I grew overnight. He couldn't believe how much bigger I looked when he got home yesterday! In this picture I am wearing a new kind of maternity pants for me, an under the belly waist band. We'll see how I like that... I'm still feeling great. I'm trying Flinstones Vitamins right now instead of the Prenatal because I'm just sick of the prenatal making me get sick still. I'll talk to my OB about that next Thursday.

I know I've been telling everyone that it looks like we're settling on the name, Kaelyn...but I want to let you know now Kayden is in the lead right now! Personally, I've always liked that name better, and I am already starting to feel remorse and sadness at the thought of not naming her Kayden! So Kayden is a definite possiblity as of now.

Well I'm off to take Alicia and Lena to the airport right now. They are off to Arizona for a luxury weekend. Its the Top Producers reward at Lena's work (she qualified) and they are going to get just plain spoiled at the J.W. Marriott in Phoenix. Its a 5 Star resort, and all inclusive for them.

Until later...

22 Weeks

Here is a picture of me at 22 weeks, and a picture of a baby's development at 22 weeks (And no, it's not my baby). I can't believe yet another week has passed! I'm feeling great, besides the occassional upset from the prenatal still. It's the main thing that is continuing to make me sick off and on. I really don't like those prenatal pills! I just happen to one of the lucky ones who has a really sensitive body or stomach! I feel a lot more tired than I used to in the mornings, and it doesn't take much during the day to wear me out. But overall, I'd still say I'm feeling great, and in good spirits! Can you believe how big my stomach is now?? I love it!

I have a friend who just had a baby boy this morning!! Can't wait to meet him on Saturday. And I just found out another friend of mine is pregnant! Exciting times!

I found some interesting facts about the baby's development by 22 weeks:

• Your baby's senses are developing daily. The fetus now has a full complement of neurons in the brain and is learning about her body and surroundings through touch. Touch is one of the first senses to mature and your baby may stroke its face or feel her arms and legs. (Our baby moved her hands around a lot, and had her hands around her face during both the 20 week and 21 week ultrasound)


• The ovaries of female fetuses contain primitive egg cells, all of the eggs a woman will have for her entire life. The uterus of female fetuses is also fully formed.

3D Ultrasound

Well here she is at 21 weeks. As you can see, it is not that clear yet. I'm going to have another one done at 31 weeks, and that is the best time to get a clear view. If you look closely, you can see her hand up against her head. She had her hands around her face for most of the session. And she has those ankles crossed again. She yawned a few times for us, and it almost looked like she was smiling. I have a DVD too, but I have to figure out how to send that. Enjoy for now...

First Baby Clothes

These are the baby clothes I have bought so far. I was afraid to even buy one thing because I thought I'd open the flood gate and go out of control. There are just too many cute girl clothes! Don't worry, I'm keeping all of my receipts! So far, the little jean dress is my favorite! Just thought I'd share...

First Gift From Greece

We had dinner with our friends, Geoff and Christine, last night. We heard a wonderfully romantic story about how they became engaged in Santorini, Greece! I thought I would share, the brought us back our first pair of booties for the baby! I can't wait for her to wear them.

We're having out 3D/4D ultrasound done tomorrow, on Saturday. So we should have a link up soon for you to see the photos!

Bye for now...

21 Weeks

Well I'd say I definitely look pregnant now. Did I ever mention I felt the baby move? I started feeling it about two weeks ago. I was laying on the couch and I felt a few little quick bulge like feelings in my lower abdomen. Then I put my hand on my uterus and realized I was feeling little kicks. I never felt any flutter sensations or anything, I just felt the baby pushing on my uterus. It is the neatest feeling. When I told Cameron he came over and felt...and she pushed after about 20 seconds of waiting. I'm glad he was able to feel it the same night I felt it.

During the 20 week ultrasound we saw her completely stretch her legs out and really pushed into the uterine wall, but I didn't feel it at all. Strange. After they determined she was a girl, she crossed her legs (at her ankles), and wouldn't uncross the rest of the session. They said she weighed 14 oz. now.

Well this weekend I am having my 3D/4D ultrasound done, and I'll be able to share those photos soon. Bye for now...

20 Weeks

Well the day finally arrived, and we found out today that its a girl! I've had this feeling that it was a girl for a long time now. Cameron is very excited. He can't believe he is going to be a little girl's Dad! And as we all know, I am very excited. Cameron's family hasn't had a girl born in 20 years!!!! So this has been long awaited in his family. And do I even need to mention, my mom and dad are thrilled (especially my mom!).

19 Weeks

Well I've been a little busy lately, so I didn't post a picture last week. We headed out to Santa Barbara on Thursday morning for a wedding at the most beautiful church, Mount Carmel. The weather was great all weekend long, and we really enjoyed ourselves. So here I am at 19 weeks. Only one more week until we find out the sex of the baby at our Level II ultrasound! I'll be sure to keep you posted...
