We're Having a....

GIRL!!!

We found out last Wednesday that are going to be blessed with a sweet little girl, Madelyn Claire! During her ultrasound, she was very wiggly, but everything looked healthy. She is measuring right where she should be and is developing appropriately. We were able to see her brain, lungs, stomach, kidneys, heart, and limbs. The ultrasound tech was even nice enough to turn on the 4D feature for a few pictures of her little profile!

Since Madelyn was so wiggly, we get to go back for another ultrasound on June 30. She wouldn't be still long enough to capture all the images they needed to get, so we are lucky enough to be able to see her again!

We saw Monica, our midwife, following the ultrasound. She agreed that everything was going well. I had lost a little bit of weight since my last visit (I don't think it could have even been a whole pound), but she wasn't concerned; I guess that just means more ice cream and bagel bites for me! I am feeling better every day. The nausea seems to be slacking off even more, but mornings can still be a little difficult. I have a good appetite and have a pretty good energy level. For the first time last Saturday, I felt something that I suspected was Madelyn moving. I have felt it a few more times and am pretty sure it is her moving. It is such an awesome feeling! I can't wait for Cody to be able to feel her move too.

Mommy, 17 weeks, 1 day


Since last Wednesday, Cody and I have been very busy preparing for Madelyn. We ordered her bedding, registered at Babies R Us and Target, and have continued to clear out our office to be able to turn it into her nursery. We are so excited to be having a little girl and can't wait for her arrival!
