Definitely girl parts

My baby bump

Most of you know already, but on November 17, 2008 (at 15 weeks) I went to Westcoast Ultrasound and found out that most likely I'm having a girl! On January 2, 2009 (at 22 weeks) I had an ultrasound at my doctor's office and found out that I'm officially having a girl! :)

I immediately went out to buy my first baby girl outfit that I have been so patiently waiting to buy. It's absolutely adorable! Ryan and Ethan are very excited to have another female addition to our family to even it out. Ethan kisses my belly often and says, "Mama, baby out!" I have to explain to him that we have to wait for the baby to come out in the spring. He now calls his baby "sissy" by her first name, which we have decided to be Emily. Her full name will be Emily Grace.

Here's a pregnancy questionnaire I decided to fill out:

How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 12 lb. gain
Maternity clothes? Some
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Tired off and on throughout the day/Have trouble getting myself to lay down for bed, but sleep well through the night
Best moment this week: Hearing Ethan for the 2nd time at my doctor's appt. look at the Female Reproductive System poster on the wall and say, "Mama, fish!" while doing fish lips. I almost wet my pants I was laughing so hard! :)
Have you told family and friends: Yes, I had to right away
Movement: Yes, lots
Food cravings: Nothing unusual...fruit, cheese, sushi, frozen yogurt, chocolate, OJ, coffee (but now I drink decaf), etc.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Meats that are undercooked or have fat on them make me want to gag, toothpaste, and the nasty smell of nicotine
Have you started to show yet: Yes
Gender prediction: I knew it was a girl all along
Labor Signs: No, hopefully not until the end of April
Belly Button in or out? It's pushed out now :(
Wedding rings on or off? Always on
Happy or Moody most of the time: For the most part happy, but I have my moments
Daily Prayer: Good health & safety
Milestones: Reaching for week 24!
