As I sit here eating an entire bag of chips, I will update. Last week, I finally felt peanut move from the outside. It was very faint and just once but there it was. I've been feeling "turning over" movement from inside for a couple of weeks now. It's very hard to believe that I am only 5 short weeks away from half way there.




Grace came up to me the other night while I was sitting on the couch and wanted to kiss Peanut. She lifted my shirt and kissed my belly. I can't wait until she can feel and see the baby moving. She told daddy last night that she wants the "blue team." We will see in 6 short weeks.




Here's the most recent belly picture I have. This was 14 weeks and 2 days...

13 week checkup

Doctor appt. today went well. My blood pressure was good. I've gained 1 pound in 4 weeks. I'm sure that will get better now that the nausea is over. My mom went with me to hear the heartbeat.

He didn't say what it was exactly but that "it sounds like a girl." Yep, that's what he said. I said, "uh oh". Doc said, "did you order a boy?" I said, "yeah, we ordered a boy." He told me to keep my receipt. Ahhh, if it were only that easy.

In 4 weeks we'll do the MSAFP then in 8 weeks will be THE ultrasound. So, my new countdown date will be September 8. Then we can see if my mom is right (she says boy) or if the doc is right. :)
