Week 21

Baby is getting bigger by the day! She's a mover and a shaker, and LOVES to wiggle around right before I fall asleep at night. I'm definitely having some growing pains, but nothing unbearable just yet.James and I have made some progress on the nursery...we found a crib set we really like and have narrowed down a bedding selection, too. Tommy helped me pick a great Eiffel Tower lamp for his baby sister's room. He says, "Tommy choose Baby Sister's lamp" with pride every time he sees it. What a mouthful! And here's a peek at the artwork that inspired the room's theme. Sure hope she likes it!

Ultrasound #3

We had our anatomy ultrasound for #2 this morning and according to our doctor she looks perfect! All 10 fingers and 10 toes are accounted for, her little brain and heart are formed just as they should be, and she has a darned cute profile, too:And here is yet another picture confirming her gender. Now that she's been TRIPLE checked, we feel confident in making choices on nursery decor. I'm thinking vintage hot-air balloons over Paris, though you won't catch us with a frou-frou poodle in there. And we may come up with a name one of these days...we'll keep you posted!

Week 20 - Halfway!

20 weeks down, 20 weeks to go! With Thursday, June 21 marking the end of my 20th week of pregnancy, does that mean it's all downhill from here? Oh, how I wish that were the case...

Here is a belly shot to show our progress. When I woke up yesterday morning, I rolled on to my side and could have sworn the bump grew overnight. She's definitely getting bigger and more active...I can feel lots of little kicks and nudges throughout the day.

Here's an extra belly picture to make up for being a slacker the past several weeks!

Week 19

I've been bad about taking the weekly belly shots lately, but here is a photo that kind of documents our "growth." Mommy & Daddy pose with cousin Brennan, 18, at his high school graduation in Las Vegas. At the 19 week point, I'm definitely sporting a roomier dress!

Week 18 - It's a Girl!

Tommy is going to have a little SISTER in November. We had our second ultrasound June 5, which revealed #2's gender as female. The ultrasound technician so eloquently labeled this shot as "No Pee-Pee." What a great vocabulary! Baby Girl was curled up in a little ball most of the session, so we will go back in late June for the doctor to check the rest of her anatomy. Profile. The large diagonal lines you see in the middle are her jaw bones.
And here is a belly photo for Week 18:

Welcome to Baby Girl Wedewer's Blog!

As our family grows, so does our web presence! This medium makes a great "baby book" for Tommy and I hope to use this page as a record for just as many precious memories for his little sister. Plus it's a great way to share progress with our far-flung family and friends. So check back often for new pictures and updates!

This is our first ultrasound, taken 4/30/2007 at approximately 12 weeks gestation. Hard to believe her little profile had already formed by this point. Our estimated due date is November 8, 2007 and we are very excited to meet her.
