Baby GIRL!!

Wow i cant believe how times fly...even in the moment it feels like im never gonna get any closer to have this baby with us! But Halloween was a GREAT day this year! we had our ultrasound appointment set up at the usual time, at noon (our lunch break from ada west on Mondays) we wanted this event to be really exciting! so we had originally planned on having the nurse write down the sex of the baby on a card, and from then we would take the card to the baby store in the mall, we were gonna pick out a boys/girls outfit have the cashier look at it while we leave and wrap up the which outfit depending on the sex of the baby. then we were gonna go out to dinner to Barbacoa (my favorite place) and open the box/card! well....plans changed, we went to our appointment and they were totally excited on keeping it a secret, although Dane swore he heard them accidentally saw "he" acouple times...i think he was just hoping! haha everything went well at the appt. they said the baby was healthy and doing GREAT! its still wee little thing only 7 oz! it was cute though, the baby was sucking its fingers and its little tongue was moving around haha.....well since it was Halloween and the Doctors we work for all took the afternoon off we got to leave as well, and didn't have to go back to work after our appt. so all our adventures ideas soon became me saying "Well im really hungry NOW!!!" so what did we do we grabbed some Wendy's and headed to my parents house to eat lunch! but we aren't really good at keeping secrets or anticipating the wait! ha ha so with my mom and my little sister Olivia we opened the card reading ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH! my mom recorded us opening the card which was really neat! so even though we didn't make it according to plan it was still fun to work up the anticipation, oh and dont worry we still went out and celebrated at my favorite place to eat!! and maybe next time we will be able to wait longer! :)

so here she is! those are her little knees squished in there and i guess her little ankles were crossed too!

then on the bottom, she had her arms crossed over her face so we couldn't get a good face shot! little stinker!

here is us in our 80's outfits! and no dane is not a painter! haha with all the girls from work! also, no worries we went to our appt dressed like this! haha so funny!

Alright so as of now im finally 23 weeks! hooray! im starting to look pregnant instead of have the nasty love handles due to the baby still so low! i can now say that i need to be going to the gym! i can feel my abs moving and its getting harder to sit up! sad! but im still working so much that i dont have time! oh well its all worth it!

here i am at 20 weeks

here i am at 22 weeks!

as far as other symptoms changing im always hungry and can NEVER get full! i feel like im eating constantly! im energy is slowing down but i think thats because i work so much and have so much going on im just tired! as far as sickness goes, i've only been sick at nights while im sleeping which is good, and even that is easing off slowly so im a happy girl! oh and the baby movements are more defined and its so neat to feel her moving around. although i wish dane could feel it but hopefully soon! also my "fat" pants still fit but its getting tighter to sit down in them so bring on the fun maternity clothes!

Well i feel the countdown on! we cant wait to meet our litte girl! We have a feeling her name is Makenna Rae, so hopefully as Dane says little baby kenna will get healthy and strong so that we can have her in our lives! im just counting down the holidays so that we will be that much closer!

we love this little girl and are SO excited to meet you! we love talking to you and thinking about what life will be like when we can hold you! we know you already have a sweet spirit and cant wait to get you all the cutest clothes ever! :)
