90% Sure...GIRL!!!

Thank You Jesus for Blessing Us With A Precious Baby Girl...
Here's The Story...
When I went in for my 10 week appointment i got an ultrasound, and the Ultrasound tech Nicki which also did Katie and Aimees was already familiar with our family. She told me that day that she can usually tell the sex of a baby at 12 weeks pregnant and if i wanted to, I could come in on my lunch in two weeks and she would tell me what we were going to have.
That day i scheduled my next visit which was going to be Oct 13th, Nicki said she would go ahead and put me down for an ultrasound so if i didn't get a chance to stop in, she would tell us then... Well needless to say i made it to Monday September 28th which was two weeks and one day away from my scheduled appointment and couldn't wait any longer... That Monday i called Nicki and asked her if i could come in the next day on my lunch which was Tuesday the 29th... She said absolutely...
Jansen and I went in at 12 o'clock... We were both so excited we couldn't stand it...
She started rubbing the Doppler over my belly and said "Did you just eat lunch cause this baby is active"... i had just had tomato soup... once she got a glimpse of the baby she said it looks like a girl but at that moment the baby started putting the cord between its legs... as if to say stop looking at my private parts... Once she got the baby to stop and calm down, Nicki then looked at Jansen and I and said " Yep... I'm 90 percent sure its a girl!... Jansen and I are both very happy but more importantly our baby girl is doing great. Her heart beat was 165 and our next appointment is scheduled for October 13th... we will update everyone then.
She Has A Chickadee (as our lil Lilee calls it)
Only God makes miracles like this...

What a precious little peanut butt...

Sexy Six-Pack Now Gone...

Almost 12 weeks now and already starting to feeling like an Oumpa Loumpa.
28 weeks left...
Man, what a long way to go!




Watch Me Grow...

September 15th - Baby A's Second Photo Shoot
10 weeks along...
Baby A is now 2mm long from head to bottom (the size of a small strawberry). Experiencing this ultrasound was totally different than the first one because you could actually see a baby, it was the coolest thing in the whole world. The neck is beginning to take shape and the muscles are almost developed. Baby A is starting to move.

This is my belly at 10 weeks right after the ultrasound.

This was not a scheduled ultra sound. I had been feeling some sharp pains which were scaring me...so I called Dr. Hill's office and they told me to come in that next morning. I'm so very glad I did because as soon as I was able to hear that sweet little heart beat...I could breathe again.
The pains I had been felling were because of the position of the baby. Baby A is very low.
It's crazy how we start to worry about things that we really have no control over...and during those scary moments, forget that God holds this baby in the palm of his hand. With or without my control. And I'm so very glad he does...

Baby A's First Photo Shoot...

August 26th was Baby A's first photo shoot at 7 weeks and 1 day. Jansen and I, along with Grammie and Mimi, were all so excited and could not wait to meet the precious lil peanut. Oh and what a peanut he/she was. It truly is a miracle of God for something that tiny to become one of us.
When I laid on the ultrasound table our faith was definitely put to the test because our little peanut was hiding...well sort of. You could see the tiny miracle but there was no heartbeat. Seconds....what seemed like hours later...there it was the sound our ears and hearts had been waiting for. And in that moment with a smile on my face I was thinking there couldn't be anything better, but I can't wait to see his/her beautiful face.


Mimi, Me, and Jansen filling out paperwork. LOL Grammie had to get pics of everything...I loved it!

There she is again. What!!! No pics in ultrasound room...seriously? Naughty naughty Grammie just couldn't obey the rules.


Tuh...duh...and there's our Lil Peanut...


I am so thankful for my best friend and my wonderful husband. I know he's going to be an amazing Daddy!


Silly Gammie...she was just so excited...can't you tell?


And here's my big ol belly at 8 weeks and 1 day
