Yes, the belly's growing!

So here I am at nearly 22 weeks. Some days I can feel my belly stretching and growing. Currently it's looking a bit pointy for my liking, but I'm sure it will fill in! My MD seems to think, and now I tend to agree, that this month is going to be a big one (pun intended). I've finally started to feel our little girl move! It's not all the time, but I've definately felt some fluttering and some kicks...it's great! Oh, and for those of you who were worried, don't be, my sweet tooth is back!

It's a GIRL...and she's healthy!

We are 20 weeks, half way, and so had our big ultrasound yesterday--we earned a clean bill of health! Everything looked amazing. We watched our baby girl suck her thumb and kick her legs. We have pictures of her, but I'm still working on downloading them, so stay tuned.

Here is a picture of the baby from the outside (my growing belly)...and, we got our first pink outfits! They are adorable. I cannot believe we're going to have a little body to put in it by the summer!

Also, thank you thank you to all our friends and family who have sent along their prayers, good wishes, and congratulations. We feel lucky and blessed for the relatively smooth sailing up 'til now but know that we still have a ways to go.

Getting this thing started

So I guess I'm starting a blog. I've so enjoyed my friends' blogs and rely on them to feel connected, so I've been convinced that I can do the same. Please be patient with me as I learn how to do this!
