18.5 weeks

Lucky me! I got to christen my father-in-law's new camera...I am the first picture he took with it. It's a beauty, too.

And this is for you, Karen. Pictures of my 18.5 week belly.

Tyler and I go in on Tuesday for my 20 week ultrasound. Hopefully everything is a-okay with our little girl!

in my defense, part of this "baby" is a food baby. i had just eaten a lot. haha. also, i find that i'm bigger at the end of the day than when i woke up. is that normal?

it's a GIRL!!

surprise!

tyler and i were shocked to find out that our baby "boy" is actually a baby girl!! everyone (including ourselves) thought we were having a boy. not so! we went to the obgyn at 16 weeks to find out what our little babe is. i couldn't stand knowing that i could know but didn't know, ya know? so we forked out the extra $50 to meet our little girl at 16 weeks instead of 20.

here are some pictures of her (click to enlarge):

10 week picture
16 weeks
her foot

and, drum roll please...
the last picture is of our little girl exposing herself. thank goodness she finally did! the first time we tried to determine the gender, our little one was all curled up - legs crossed, arms around her head. we didn't get a picture of it, but we have it on our dvd. with a little jiggling and some food, she finally opened up and we got to see "her."

suggestions for names appreciated!

15 weeks

This picture was taken last Wednesday (10.27.2010) when I was 15 weeks. I think I look more pregnant in the picture than in real life (the camera adds ten pounds, right?) but I definitely look more pregnant now (one week later). I've finally had some people tell me I'm starting to look pregnant. Thanks...? Haha, just kidding.

16 week picture to come tomorrow. Lucky you, a picture every week!

According to the Chinese Gender Chart (if I'm using it correctly), this baby is a boy. According to the swing-a-ring-over-your-wrist method, this baby is a boy. (And we're having three children: boy, girl, boy.) We shall see if it's right with #1 soon enough!

For you pregnant peeps out there, check out the Chinese Gender Chart here.
