Isabella Rae (Izzy)

Finally got to a scanner! Here are the January u/s pics at 20 weeks of our little Izzy.


The strip of three are a bit scary! She kind of looks like an alien. :) When we were still in the u/s room after finding out it was a girl, Justin was super quiet. I thought maybe he was nervous about having a little girl after growing up with all boys and then raising boys. I asked if he was okay and his response was..."I'm a little concerned that she looks like an alien." HA! I giggled at that. Not the most flattering pictures of Izzy! Today marks my 22 week and 4 day! Our baby girl weighs about 1lbs and is about 8 inches long...think about the size of a small doll! I can't believe it. Time is going by so quickly. She can hear our voices this week and her other senses have developed too! Last night I think I felt her hiccup for the first time. It was pretty crazy whatever it was... consecutive thumps! I've been feeling great. Just a little slower and a bit more uncomfortable. My mom is coming over tomorrow to help paint the nursery. I can't wait to have it all done. Hopefully we can set up the crib on Sunday and then I can start adding all the decorative touches!

21 Weeks and 5 Days


Happy Valentine's Day!


Today marks the 21st week 5th day and I'm feeling great! The only thing is my feet are starting to hurt and swell. I've also been tossing and turning trying to get comfy when I sleep. Besides that... I'm really starting to enjoy pregnancy and I love watching my tummy grow! The baby is moving around quite a bit now and sometimes I can see my tummy jump.
This weekend we are getting the crib and changing table! I am so excited...it's like Christmas for a child! We are also going to start our registry tomorrow as part of our valentine date night. So romantic I know. I'm really looking forward to spending some one on one time with Justin tomorrow. He has been out of town every week since the beginning of January. Thankfully his trip next week is just overnight!

Pink or Blue?

PINK!!!! We are having a girl! We are so excited...that little girl is going to have Justin and her brothers wrapped around her finger! I'm so excited now to move forward with nursery plans. Our family is in for shock with a girl! We are so use to boy things that this is going to be a ton of fun.

Things went well in the ultrasound. Everything is on track and looking good. The due date remains the same. I'll post the pictures when I can get to a scanner!
