23 Weeks!

Well, after a much anticipated ultrasound, our doctor is still not able to determine for sure if we are having a boy or a girl! This time the baby was in the breech position, and his bum was way down in my pelvic area. As much as he tried, Dr. Rao just could not get a good look! Sooo...we are going to try again next month. I am thinking he is waiting for Brian to be there to show all his glory :o) Everything else looks great so far, although the doctor said I am carrying him very low, which isn't a problem for the baby - it will just cause me extra discomfort. Which explains all the lower abdomen pain I've been having! Other than that everything is going great - I've been feeling great and the belly is just getting bigger & bigger - it seems like every day! The name race is on, but Brian & I haven't been able to agree on anything so far. I guess we must not have found the right one yet...Luckily we have a few months left to decide! I attempted to take pictures of my ultrasound pics and post them on here. I don't know if you can tell what's what, but it's the best I could do. I'll keep everyone posted...our next appt is Feb 22.

19 weeks - you can see how he's practically folded in half!

23 weeks - this is a side view of his face.

Home Again

Well, after lots of traveling, Lily & I are happy to be at home - at least for a little while.

We came home to some very cold weather - and much to Lily's delight - some snow!! The snow did not last very long, but she did get a chance to play outside in it for a little while.

Lily was also very excited to get home to her friends - she couldn't wait to see Stevie and also her friend Madison who had been visiting family in Texas for the past 4 months, but is back in Virginia now.
