Our little princess!

On Wed we had our second ultrasound here in SC. This time baby was cooperating with the Dr and we were able to see it's a girl! We've thought it was a girl from the beginning, but it was wonderful to confirm that. The Dr made sure her brain, heart, and spine were developed properly, which they are, and then started looking for a gender indicator. Right away we were able to see between her legs and there was of course nothing there. This of course doesn't mean it's for sure a girl, so he kept searching and finally got a perfect shot saying "Oh that is a classic girl." The Dr said that everything looks good and she is very active. As for my health, everything is good there too. Over the past month I've gained 5 pounds, that puts me about 3-5 pounds shy of what I should be at. As the nurse said , not really sure where even the 5 pounds is though. We are so excited to be having a little girl and already can't wait for her to get here....it's going to be a long wait to March. Here's a few pics from the past few weeks

Dave got a new dress shirt and tie, he looks so snazzy.

20 weeks! Half way there!

A little update

I know I haven't written in awhile, and I have no excuse as to why I haven't written, so sorry. I realized today we have been in Columbia for nearly 2 months already. That's how long I lived in Phenix City total. The time has really flown by. I think it's because Dave and I are back together, no more living in the barracks for him. We are really enjoying our time together again.

We went to the zoo a few weeks ago. I'm sure Dave suggested it just to make me happy. When we drove into Columbia, I saw a billboard advertising for the zoo and said I wanted to go. It was the perfect day for the zoo, not too hot at all. It was so nice to get out of the house and do something different. We saw lots of animals and took a lot of pictures (they are all on facebook), but forgot to take a picture of the two of us together, oh well.



For Dave's birthday, we went to a corn maze, no pics of that, we went at night. That was another fun date.

We also had a ultrasound in the last couple weeks. We were hoping we might find out what the baby is, but no such luck. Baby had it's legs crossed and wasn't showing anything. Our next ultrasound is in 2 weeks and it will be a more detailed look. We did get a great picture anyway. It was so amazing to see our little one. Dave was so excited and happy, he looked like a kid on Christmas. I can feel it kick now, which is weird and very reassuring that everything is ok. We've also started looking at car seats and strollers and thinking about what else we will need. It's becoming more and more real.
