Aaaaaand...

It's a girl! :)

Everything looked good, as far as I know, on the ultrasound. We got a few pics, which I'll scan in over the weekend and post later. She waved at us at one point! :) (Okay, okay, her hand just happened to move, but I'm taking it as a wave.)

We'll definitely dress her in white and gold!

Halfway there!

Today's the 20-week mark, so I'm halfway through the pregnancy. Yay!

My ultrasound will be on Friday afternoon, and I can hardly wait. We hope baby will cooperate so we can find out the gender. Any predictions?

Since I don't have anything else exciting to say, I'll just post another picture of me. I didn't think my belly had been getting too much bigger, but looking at the two pictures, I can definitely tell a difference. (Sorry if the previous one isn't showing up - it's hosted on Derek's computer, which is having issues at the moment.)

Hey, it's a picture!


I think I moved from "she's just gaining weight" to "hmm, is she pregnant?" over the last few days, so I figured it was time for a picture.

Still feeling well - yay! We ordered furniture for baby's room today, the crib and combo from Million Dollar Baby's Emily Collection, in Natural. I want to get a glider rocking chair, too, but I haven't seen a good selection here in town.

Not much else going on, so I guess this post will be pretty short. :)

Oops - sorry for the lack of posting. Went through a busy spell, and then just forgot to update.

The queasiness is totally gone now, except for occasions when I do something silly like not eating enough. I'm quite thrilled with this turn of events. :)

I had my first 1-hour glucose tolerance test last week, and I passed! I had to have it done early because of my mom being diabetic, and I'll have it done again at 25 weeks. Normal range is 50-130, and mine was 73 (sorry I can't remember units at the moment), so not even close to going over. Yay!

I also had an appointment on Tuesday - baby's heartbeat was nice and strong, around 145-150. While the doctor was looking for the heartbeat, she commented, "Wow, there's a lot of activity in there!" So I guess we have a wiggle worm.

My next appointment is on 9/4, and the Friday before that (8/29) will be the Big Ultrasound!
