I can finally feel my lovebug!

Hello~



I turned 22 weeks on Thurs 8/28 and was starting to get antsy that I hadn't felt any thumps or kicks yet. But..that night I finally did, woohoo!! So exciting, it's even better than I imagined, I don't mind it the least bit. Funny story for the record..I was chatting with my younger sister Sarah this past Friday afternoon on the phone and she said "so, did you guys decide on the name Isabella?" Just then, I felt the baby move and less than a minute later, she said the name again and once more she gave me another bump. So, since she knew we were talking about her, it only seems right that that's the name for her. Besides, remember earlier I told you all about my labor premonition dreams? The part I left out was that the "girl" dreams were very distinct in that the baby's name in the dream was Isabella. I think it'll be cute to tell her later that we picked her name because we drempt about her before she ever came into this world. We're just starting to get her room ready, we've got the biggest items out of the way, crib and changing table. I'm anxious for the rest to come together to post a preview of the nursery, patience everyone!

Growing at 20 1/2 weeks!

Here I am with just the beginning of a baby bump.. I've got a ways to go but you can definitely notice the change in the tummy area, not to mention being just a smidge bustier : )

Baby Update - It's a GIRL!!!

Hey all, the day has finally arrived! We're having a baby girl!!! This was very much a surprise as James and I were thinking boy all along. Reason being is mainly due to the lack of morning sickness; based on other mom comments I thought feeling so great this whole time meant it was likely to be a boy. However, I should've known better because I've had a total of 4 baby (delivery) dreams, the most recent one being on Friday August 8th - had a girl..which was the case in 3 of the 4 dreams ; ) We had our ultrasound appointment yesterday at 19 weeks and 4 days. She was being very difficult with legs crossed and hovering around my belly button so we couldn't get the best peeks, but it's clear enough to call it fairly certain at this point. She weighs 10 ounces according to all the measurements and my belly is now starting to peek -I'm finally looking preggers, woohoo!!
