End of 18 weeks!

Things are going GREAT! This little girl is active as ever and I secretly hope that she calms down a bit before she's born. Brady still hasn't been able to feel her yet but he is patiently waiting :) My morning sickness is strictly morning now-which is amazing! It makes school much easier. There's really not much else to report..everything is going as it should be and I am feeling pretty anxious for things to get more exciting-like decorating the nursery, building a crib, buying clothes!! We just have no reason to go and buy stuff when she's still so far away.

Some people have been curious about names. Now we have liked a certain name for awhile now but it's not a for sure thing (but most likely). We REALLY like the name Kenley Rae. It's girly and she'd have my middle name. So that's it for now. We haven't really found anything better...but I'd be open for suggestions!

I also HAVE to tell you this story. So if you read one of my previous posts...we bought the baby a Michigan onesie. This onesie is navy blue with yellow writing on it (Michigan's colors of course). Well, the first thing Brady said when we got home after we found out we're having a girl was.. 

"She can't wear that." 

And of course I questioned him because it's only his FAVORITE football team. His response...

"it's not girly enough for her. It's navy blue!" 

haha I seriously about peed my pants! This little girl is going to be so spoiled by her daddy!

Drum Roll Please.....

Well...can you tell what we're having???

A GIRL!!!

We are so excited! She is 85% positive that she is a girl :) According to how she is measuring, she is at the EXACT measurements for how far along I am. She wiggles and sucks on her arm..weird huh? Everything looks good and we are so anxious for February to get here!

Ultrasound Date

Well, our original ultrasound was to be on October 2 but due to a school trip that day I had to reschedule our appointment. Brady has been sick the past two days and we wanted to make sure he didn't have the flu/swine flu (it's been going around here). He was tested negative AND our doctor said I could come in this coming Thursday for an ultrasound! I will be exactly 18 weeks along but he said that should be fine! We are SOO excited to finally know what we're having! So stay tuned for another update by the end of this week :)

update!

16 weeks

Things have been going well since last I posted! The baby is growing appropriately and I keep getting bigger. I have gained a few pounds but I still weigh less than where I should be. I have felt some little flutters but I can't be 100% sure it's the baby. My next appointment will be the last week of September and that's when we'll find out if we're having a boy or a girl!!

Since I have been pregnant, I have been thinking about something that we could make that may be passed down through generations in our family. I originally wanted my Dad to make us a crib but he has settled for a bassinet which will be awesome but it's no crib. However, Brady has decided that he wants to make the crib! He has looked at the structure of our friend's crib and thinks that it wouldn't be too difficult to make one himself! I am so grateful for a handyman in my home and can't wait to see how it turns out.

Here is the onesie Brady picked out for the little one...

We are very anxious for this little one and cannot wait to hold him/her in our arms!
