21 weeks
We are over the half way mark and only have 19 weeks to go!!! Things are starting to look a little more baby friendly around here, even though we have a ways to go. We are going this weekend to get paint for Kira's room and will begin painting in the next week or two. We are working on finding a dresser and a few other furniture pieces for her room as well. I really want things done before August, that way I can focus on school when the time comes. Anyone wanting to help paint is more than welcome! ;)
Last weekend Matt took me out shopping and got me a few maternity shirts and some pants. It feels weird to be wearing some of it now, but I know if a few months I won't have a choice.
Earlier this week I felt the baby move (more than a flutter) for the first time. It was such a wonderful feeling. Since then I have felt her a couple times.
Our next ultrasound in July 19. They want to remeasure baby girl and check that she is still a girl. Ha ha! She better be. This momma is really excited to have a girl in the house. I will update again after our next appointment.

Baby Girl!!
Wednesday, June 13
18 Weeks 5 days
Yesterday was the "big" day! We had an ultrasound to check on baby and find out the gender. It went really well, and we found out that it's a baby GIRL! I knew all along, but Matt had his doubts. :) The ultrasound was pretty good. The only problem they had, was that the ultrasound was scheduled a bit early in the pregnancy and they couldn't get very good measurements of all of baby girl's parts. She weighs about 8 oz. and was one active little baby. The minute the tech put the probe on my belly, my girl was kicking away and going crazy. I haven't felt her move yet, but when I do I am sure it will be a never ending kick fest after seeing her move yesterday. They want to get a better measurement of her, so I have another ultrasound in mid July to remeasure and I guess reconfirm that it's a girl! I made very sure before we left that they tech was sure and not just guessing. She said she was positive it was a girl and would stay a girl for the next 21 weeks! :) We went after the ultrasound and bought a few girl outfits. I just told Matt that we should save all receipts, just in case. Ha ha!
Now we get to focus on getting stuff ready for my girl! We had names picked out not too long ago and were ready for either boy or girl. So, her name is Kira Rochelle. Kira is name we loved and Rochelle is my sister Melissa's middle name. We wanted Kira to have a name special to her family and my sister was overjoyed to share her middle name. We are working on plans for the baby room. It looks like a zoo animal theme, (mostly giraffes). First I have to get in and paint the room. We are still shopping for nice furniture. I just wish I knew that babies are EXPENSIVE!!! Well, no amount of money could take the joy of knowing I am going to be a mommy in a few months away.
There are still days I wake up and wonder if it is a dream. We wanted and waited for this for so long, it's just amazing to think it's finally happening.
