Pink or Blue?!?

On Friday we learned that Baby D is a girl! We’ll we are about 90% sure that Baby D is a girl. She was being shy and had her legs crossed and pulled up so it was difficult to tell, but she did make a quick turn and Dr. Aguayo said she was able to see the necessary parts that indicate a girl. All we really care about is having a healthy baby, but I am excited that we'll be having a little girl! We will do another ultrasound to double check at my next visit in four weeks. I’m not sure if I can wait that long, so I’m going to call around to some of the imaging centers about having a 4D ultrasound done just to double check.

Dr. Aguayo said that she looks great! This ultrasound was amazing--we were able to see the chambers of the heart working, her bones, her fingers moving, etc... Jason and I were speechless (hard to believe I know!) Baby D currently weighs 1 lbs 3 oz so we may be a little head of schedule which means our due date may move up to December 18th instead of the 23rd.

Jason is already starting to worry about raising a daughter and having to deal with boys! Lucky for us, a lot of our friends that have daughters and will have to deal with this before we do, so we'll have lots of friends to turn to for advice!

Here are two photos from the ultrasound--you can kind of make out where her legs are crossed and pulled up.

Baby Bohan is here early!

Congratulations to Patty and Brad Bohan on becoming parents 7 weeks early! Emerson Elizabeth Bohan arrive Saturday, August 16, 2008 at 1:53 a.m. She weighed 3 lbs. 6 oz. and was 16 in. long. Though she was over 7 weeks early she doesn’t require any assistance to breath.

On the Move

Well Baby D and I are on totally different sleep cycles, Baby D is very active when I’m trying to get settled down for bed or sleeping. We had a first on Saturday—Jason was able to feel Baby D move for the first time at 5 AM! For those of you who have lived with me or just know me really well, I’m not a morning person, so waking up to my husband rubbing all over my belly at 5 AM is not that amusing. I know he was just excited and I was as supportive as I could be at 5 AM!
All continues to go well with the pregnancy. We are scheduled to find out the sex of Baby D on Friday, 22 August 08 at 10 AM! So there is still time to place your bets on the sex of the baby.
We enjoyed a long lunch with friends at Cantina Laredo today. Major Brady and Terri Traum that recently returned to Huntsville after being gone due to military assignments in South Korea and Kansas, so it was great to catch up after almost two years. I’m sure the restaurant was more than ready to see us leave after sitting there for 3 hours. Brady leaves for Iraqi or Afghanistan in the next month so he and Terri and busy trying to get settled into their new home in Huntsville. We are glad to have our friends back in town, but hate that Brady will be deployed so soon!

Baby Stine has arrived!

Congratulations to Mark and Julie Stine on the arrival of Bram Oakley Stine. Bram was born on August 2, 2008 at 12:50PM. He weighs 7 lbs. 11 ounces and is 22 inches long.
