POP!

That little girl is growing! I'm trying to take a picture every 4wks. Here I am at 16wks!




(Kjirsten, me, Abby, Baby Jude, and Bekah)
Girl's night! This was so fun! We each had exciting things going on. Kjirst is expecting her 2nd and is due 3weeks after me (we're preggo buddies). Abby just got engaged! Yea! And Bekah just had Baby Jude on Dec. 29th. I love having friends to share life with!




Baby Jude! How cute is he?!?

Cars...UGH!

     Sometimes cars are more hassle than help, ya know???  Let me explain.  We excitedly took over Alex's car (my little bro) while he's on his mission.  It was REALLY nice of my parents to let us use it while he's gone. We are really grateful to have a second car, but these last couple months have been a pain.

     It has broken down, got hit in the parking lot, AND NOW it got broken into!  Ugh!  I went out to the car today and the front passenger window was shattered all over the inside of the car.  Now, we realize that we live downtown and have to be careful, so we never leave anything in the car.  NOTHING!  The face plate is off the cd player, there's a club on the steering wheel, and we never leave any bags/boxes in it.  The jerks went through our glove box, but found nothing valuable.  We're lucky there was nothing to steal, but really annoyed that we're out a few hundred dollars for the window.  They didn't just smash the glass, they used a crowbar and broke the frame around the window, grr!  I hope they're happy, all that work for nothing!   Has your car been broken into?  Did they steal anything?

***Cory thinks my pregnancy hormones make me a little more mad about stuff like this, lol! I think I'm justified.

It's a......

So we went to Fetal Studio today! It was great! The doctor there (yes, he's a real doctor from Europe) was wonderful! Lucky for us, our little one was not shy! The doctor said he was 200% sure! Here are some of the pictures we got:

Look at that button nose! The baby kept raising its hands to its face.


Looking straight up at the camera/ultrasound thing

GIRL!!!!

I can't wait!!!

Maybe I'm getting a little more impatient as I'm always waiting to find out more about our baby. I set up an appointment with the hospital to do an official ultrasound and find out the gender. I've had two ultrasounds at my doctor's, but it's a dinky machine, not as nice as the one at the hospital. I'll go to do the ultrasound on Feb 13th, which will put me at 18&1/2wks.
WELL, at South Towne Mall, there's Fetal Studio which will tell you the gender at 15weeks! That's nearly a month before my appointment. My sister has gone with both of her pregnancies, and the doctor there was right both times. My friend, Shanda, also went and he was right with her too! SO, I HAVE TO GO, RIGHT??? Right!!!
Sunday, I'll be 15 weeks, so Cory & I are going on Monday! Yea! There's a chance the doctor won't be able to tell this early, hopefully the baby cooperates. So look for a post Monday-ish!
Now, it's time to get your vote in! Do you think it's a girl or a boy??? I've had 2 dreams that it's a boy, but Cory thinks it's a girl. -I think he's just trying to be difficult. What do you think?
