Daddy Meet Baby

I have been feeling the baby move for over a month now and it's so exciting to feel her move around inside me. (Ok, sometimes if I think about it too much, it's kinda weird, but definitely in the coolest way possible!) Poor Brian has had to listen to my running commentary about what the baby is doing without getting to feel it himself because she just wasn't big enough to make her movements felt by someone on the outside...until a couple of nights ago. She was having a grand time jumping around and doing a dance and I put my hand on my stomach to see if I could feel her on the outside and I did! So, I turned to Brian and said, "Here, put your hand on my stomach." He did, and you know what she did!?! She stopped moving. After a few minutes he pulled his hand away and less than 30 seconds after he did that, she started her dance again. I turned to Brian and said, "Quick! Put your hand on my stomach." Once again, he did, but she stopped dancing almost the moment he touched me. Grrr. Again he pulled his hand back and she started up her dance and I grabbed Brian's hand and put it on my stomach and you know what!?! He felt her move!!! It has been amazing getting to know her a little bit by how she moves inside me, but it's even better now that Brian can connect to her too. Though I realize I'm harboring a certified tease, I can't wait to meet her in person!

Introducing Autumn!!!

We found out yesterday that our little one is a girl!!! She was very cooperative with the ultrasound tech because when it was time to find out which kind of baby she was, she flipped around and spread her legs! We laughed pretty hard about this!


The structure on the left of the picture is her face. Beautiful, isn't she?

We got a cute little shot of her foot.

The last picture we got from the ultrasound, Autumn was lounging in my tummy with her little hand resting on her forehead. I can just imagine her thinking, "This has been such a long day!"
