A First Look

Here is a first look at our little girl. And yes, we are without a doubt having a baby girl. This was from about 6 weeks ago. I think she looks like she's smiling a little bit.

She moves around a lot, more than I remember the boys moving at this stage. She does not like the little heartbeat monitor they use at the doctor and always kicks it while they are trying to count her heart rate. It makes me laugh. Unless she is asleep during my appointment it usually takes my doctor a few tries if she can get it at all.

A few people have been asking for a picture of me, so here I am at about 30 weeks. I am feeling pretty good. The morning sickness finally went away at about 5 1/2 months, though I still have bouts of queasiness every now and again. I am also starting to get tired out a little quicker during the day so I am looking forward to the nesting energy that usually comes the last few weeks. I haven't really been craving anything unusual. Eggs and cottage cheese were big the first trimester, and peanut butter and jelly always sounds good. Apple juice is the only thing I crave that I don't normally care for. Nothing like the cravings I had with the boys. We haven't settled on a name just yet, but we still have some time for that. Carter calls her "baby girl", (creative I know) and he thinks we should name her Gregory. Overall we are doing pretty good, and just can't wait to meet her. :-)
