It's A .... GIRL!!!

The day finally arrived when we could find out! After a bit of searching the ultrasound tech was able to find our "little girl." Of course I screamed, "I knew it!!" while Steve just sat there...who knows what he was thinking :) We are both super excited and had to buy a few little girl things tonight. It really seems real now. And it's nice to finally say She...instead of It!

I've posted some of our ultrasound pictures and Steve even took some photos while I was getting the ultrasound...so you all get an extra sneak peak!! Hope you all enjoy them...and Welcome Baby Girl Hanson. I could just burst!!

Here's her tiny feet!

she's in 3D...check out her fingers!

My 18-week ultrasound

Steve thought he could do it...not so much

By the way, she weighs about 9 ounces and is in the 60 percentile for her weight. So she's growing right along. The ultrasound tech said everything looked very good, but had a hard time getting a clear picture of the brain. That means we'll get another ultrasound in a month. She was in a really really weird position and wasn't cooperating too much! Probably a sign of things to come, especially if she's anything like her parents!!

Almost 17 weeks!

We have reached another milestone....I am almost 17 weeks along and feeling great. But I have to admit, the baby is causing some severe ligament pain! It seems every time I cough, move, walk, etc everything is stretching to make room for the little guy or gal. But I am not as tired so that's a welcome improvement!

This past weekend some great friends and I headed to Minneapolis and did some much needed maternity shopping. We had a blast and of course I had to play with the fake pregnany belly at the GAP. Picture coming soon :)

This week I think I've been feeling the baby A LOT more. It's just rolling around in there! Next week I can finally say he or she...and as many of you have noticed, I'm excited :)

Right now the baby is about the size of an avocado and about 4 1/2 inches long. Not too exciting of an update, but there will be more to come. I'll check back in, in about a week!

15 weeks

Happy Sunday to everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend. I had a great one, besides fighting a terrible sinus infection. My doctor finally prescribed an antibiotic and I'm slowly getting better. I'm hoping by the middle of the week my ears have popped!

Today I got together with some great friends and made baby booties. They turned out so cute! I can't wait for he or she to wear them. And believe it or not, they were super easy. I plan on making a few more pairs!



And here it is....a picture of the baby bump. I popped out over the weekend and a lot of people say they can tell I'm pregnant...so I thought I'd post a picture!

Now for a baby update. It's about 4 inches long now and is about the size of an apple...or the size of my fist, depending on which book or website you visit. I think this next weekend I will venture out and buy a few maternity pants...maybe some cute tops. It's been forever since I hit the mall!!

This Thursday I will be four months already! Time is really flying by. I'll be blogging soon!
