Shower #2

Catching up...my sweet sister in law, Amanda, threw me a wonderful shower at her house with the help of her mom and my mother in law. It was a family shower (with a few close family friends that are like family) and it was wonderful! I loved having all my family from my side and Kyle's side all there at once and we had a great time together!

There was a "station" to decorate your own onesie for baby K/Carter which was fun. Mine looked like poo because I am NOT very creative but some of the other people produced some pretty cute ones! =) Then we had to smell the baby food jars and guess what was in them, guess the size of my belly and played a baby gender wives tale game. We're still clueless on the sex and my mind changes all the time! I really thought girl through most of the pregnancy just because my symptoms have been different and I'm carrying differently but now that it's getting closer I'm just thinking boy!! We'll see! I can't wait!

I'm so thankful to my family for coming to town for my shower, I had such a great time and got some great gifts for the baby! Thanks everyone!!

21 Weeks 5 Days...

Today we had our doctor appointment and an ultrasound!! I'm always so excited for our appointments and then when you have an ultrasound along with it, it's just the icing on the cake!! Everything looked perfect! The baby is doing great and looked just adorable on that screen! It was playing with its hands and sticking out its tongue! It's just too cute!! The tech said everything looked beautiful and afterwards I said again, "Well I still don't want to know the sex but do you know?" and she happily said, "OF COURSE I DO!!!" and started laughing. =) It's weird to watch my baby on the screen and know that I could know what it is right then and there but we are sticking to our guns and we really don't want to know! It is going to be soooo exciting!! I can't wait! =)

Looking straight at baby's face...

(its hand is up by its face too)

Profile and perfect spine! =)

So cute, I just want to kiss it!!

Today's belly pic.

The famous belly bumping. =)

Baby-N-Belly

This week in Baby's world:

• now measures about 4 inches long and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple!)
• legs are growing longer than the arms now, and they can move all of their joints and limbs.
• eyelids are still fused shut but they can sense light.
• has started "breathing" amniotic fluid in through its nose and respiratory tract, giving those lungs some very early practice for the real thing.

I'm still feeling great! I can really feel my stomach starting to grow but I'm still in that in between stage where maternity clothes are still big and your belly doesn't scream, "I'm pregnant!", just yet! I THINK I've felt a few flutters but I don't know if it's really the baby yet or not. Hopefully in the next week or two I'll start feeling it and know without a doubt! =) Pregnancy really is God's greatest miracle! It blows me away! What an awesome God! =)

I leave you with my first belly pics and I must say I feel WAY bigger than these pics look!!
