...the belly at 20 weeks...


So this is me at 20 weeks! It's so much fun to feel the baby move all day, she seems to be very active right now. Although at my target ultrasound she was pretty content to just stay in one position...so we weren't able to get a whole lot of cute pictures of her, but I will post what we got soon. (I accidentally left them at my in-laws over Thanksgiving)

It's a...

Girl!! At my last OB appointment at 16wks we found out that we are having a little girl! We weren't supposed to find out at this appointment, but once again my doctor is really nice and Justin is a really good talker! :) As we were finishing up my regular OB checkup, my doctor says, "we'll get you back in about 3-4 weeks and at that time we'll do your target ultrasound and be able to find out if it's a boy or a girl." Justin knowing before hand that we probably weren't finding out at this appointment had a plan for how he was going to get the doctor to do an ultrasound at this appointment and not have to wait. So Justin says, "Really?? oh, I totally thought it was today! I've been reading all those pregnacy books with my wife and it says you can tell right now if it's a boy or a girl." My doctor being super sweet says, "you know what? I bet we can get the girls to set up the ultrasound real fast and we'll take a quick look and see if we can find out." So we did the ultrasound, and at first she was being modest and trying to cover up, but eventually we were able to get a good view and sure enough it's a girl! We are really excited, but a little stuck on names...any ideas??

Bryce Canyon

For my birthday Justin and I went up to Ruby's Inn and Bryce Canyon. This time we stayed the night at Ruby's and got to drive through Bryce Canyon National Park. Justin is doing a big project on Ruby's Inn for school and was able to get us a great deal on one of their suite's which is normally like $200 a night and we got it for $39.99...he's a pretty good talker! This isn't the greatest picture of my growing belly but I am 17wks in this picture.
