It's a BOY ...

Oh Boy!



Nick and I went to the OB today for my 20 week ultrasound and appt. We were very excited about this appt. because our last ultrasound was done when I was 12 weeks.

Ultrasounds are amazing...We saw him open is mouth, swallow, open and close one of his hands. We can already see his stubbornness. His legs were crossed so it took a while for us to see...well, you know...the goods! He also likes to have his hands close to his face...which, does that mean he is going to be shy? He was very comfortable nestled in my left rib cage. He is positioned head down, laying on his left side, with his legs up and crossed.

As for the picture above...this is his butt. Imagine changing his diaper and it all makes sense. The arrow points the way. The tech. was not able to get a shot of his "front" because his legs were crossed.

His movements are getting stronger and stronger. I can't wait for the day Nick can feel it.

Exciting news ...

Nick and I put an offer on a house. The sellers signed it, so here we are! Pending inspection and all of the other fun, financial stuff...our scheduled closing date is August 27th. We are very happy that we will be bringing our baby home to an actual home.

Just some info about the house:

• 3 bedrooms
• 2.5 bathrooms
• Living room
• Eat in kitchen
• Dining room
• Two car garage (we will only fit one due to storage space)
• Newly landscaped backyard (which Dixie will love)
• Excellent schools! The Elementry School, Mount Bethel, is actually "Platinum" rated
• Close to our Church, Johnsons Ferry Baptist
• The neighborhood is right across the street from "The Avenues" which is a very nice, shoppers paradise. Seriously, it is walking distance...Nick is in trouble.
• Best of all...it is move-in ready. The only thing I would do is paint the nursery if "Little G" turns out to be a girl. Which we will know tomorrow. YEAH!!!
  

Here are a few pictures of the house. Enjoy!

We find out ...

UPDATE: We find out the sex on WEDNESDAY, JULY 1st.

I met with my new doctor today, 6/12/09...Dr. McDaniel. He was very nice and I liked him a lot. Of course, I know he may not be the one who delivers our baby, but I have a good doctor now and that makes me feel a lot better about the rest of my pregnancy.

I heard the baby's heart beat today. The nurse had a hard time finding it because the baby was being evasive; moving around a lot. When she finally found it the baby wouldn't stay still. I was able to hear it and it was in the 140 range.

Make sure to check the tummy tracker. I added my 18 week tummy picture. My plan is to add a new picture every 2 weeks.

Take me to the river ...

Today was a fun day. Mom and Dad took me to the river to play. I love going and playing ball in the water. Playing in the water is great...i'm just not to fond of swimming. I like to stay where my paws can touch the bottom.

That's our Baby ...

A picture is worth a thousand words ...




Nick and I went to the Dr. for my first trimester appt. on Thursday. I was so anxious for this appt. because we would get to see the baby again. It was awesome to see how much the baby had developed in a month. My next appt is 5/29 and we find out the sex of the baby on 6/26. Can't wait!!!!
