It's a girl!

We had another ultrasound yesterday and found out that the baby is a girl!! We are really excited and happy to find out about our daughter. The most amazing thing was we were able to see her moving around. She is healthy and perfect. Her little legs and arms were moving around and she looks like a human now. Her heart rate is about 150bpm, so it is slowing down; which is normal as she gets bigger. If you can tell in this picture, she is on her side and she has her hands tucked under her head. SO CUTE! She is moving up a storm! :) Keep you posted!

Love, Kara

First Movement!

Last night I felt the baby move for the very first time! It was an amazing feeling, kind of like a flutter in my belly. Next week we find out the sex, so stay tuned!

Almost 18 weeks!

We are now almost at 18 weeks into the pregnancy. I had another doctor's appointment today. She said the baby's heart beat is strong, at 159-160 bpm. My blood pressure is healthy. She also said my weight gain is right on schedule, although I am a little small. Surprising, considering how much I eat! :)
I feel great! We are way into the 2nd Trimester. I have more energy, still having some mood swings, etc. But I am feeling happy, healthy, and excited.
Our next appointment is on Jan. 26th when we will find the sex of the baby!! That will be a big one with lots of news!
