ITS A GIRL! we had the ultrasound today and its a girl! It was so much fun seeing her bouncing around in there!! She was so active! I cant wait to hold her! Being pregnant is fun! God is so good!

I have officially been feeling the baby move!! it is soo cool! At first i didnt know that it was her but now i know! my husband felt it too, i stuck his hand on my belly when she was moving, he was like OMG what was that??? lol

I am now 20 weeks! I cant believe that I am halfway done being pregnant! It has gone by sooo fast! My baby moves and kicks me all the time! It is so cool to feel my little one moving around in there! We still have not decided on a name for her yet!

Time is going by soo fast, i cant wait till shes here! I am loving being pregnant at this point. The baby moves and kicks constantly. Seriously, i think Im having a kickboxer. lol, she kicked me so hard the other day i literally jumped off the couch. So far I have gained 12 pounds! I think half of it is in my boobs! I feel like a hippo but its all for my baby! The doctor says she is growing at the right rate and ultrasound images show nothing wrong! I am just so happy that she is a healthy baby!! Me and my husband are having a hard time picking out a name for this little one. We just cant seem to decide on anything we both like. So far we have Abigail, Carleigh, Casey, Erica, and Kylee. I think Danielle will be the middle name. Any suggestions would be great! Hope everyone is doing awesome.

It is so awesome to be a mom! My little girl is growing and changing so much everyday! She is almost 3 weeks old now! Wow how time flies! It sure went by slow those last weeks of pregnancy though! haha, Kylies umbilical cord finally fell off on monday and I gave her first bath today!! She loved it!! I couldnt believe it! She didnt cry at all, she just sat there and looked around while i bathed her. I really thought she would hate it but she didnt! She has also gained a whole pound since she was born! At her 2 weeks checkup she weighed 7 lbs 14 oz!! and grew 1 1/2 inches!! I was so amazed at how much she had grown in only 2 weeks! She is such a good baby though, she only cries when shes hungry. I am still breastfeeding, it was soooo hard at first bc my nipples were sooo sore and painful! it hurt soo bad! But its getting better everyday, and its good to know that she is getting enough since shes gaining so well! I am just at such a happy time in my life. God has given me this beautiful miracle. What a blessing my little girl is!
