21 Weeks

We are very busy getting ready for Molly Grace to be here in a short 19 weeks! We are working hard in her room and are very excited how it is turning out.

I am feeling her move ALL the time now. She loves to move at night when I am trying to go to sleep so that I will stay awake just to keep feeling her! We have our next dr. appointment next week for the hearbeat and measurement.

Here is my 21 week picture taken on 8.28

Halfway

I am 20 weeks today! In some ways this pregnancy has gone by so fast, but then again it is creeping by. We are so ready to meet our sweet baby girl, come on January! I have been feeling pretty good and trying to exercise when I feel like it.




This picture was taken at 19 weeks and 5 days.

When we found out that we were having a girl, we wanted to do something special for Win's work. We made gender revealing cupcakes for Molly Grace.





We baked the cupcakes then poked a hole in the center of them for pink icing. Then we iced them in pink and blue so they had to eat them to find out what we were having. It was so fun doing this! (and his work seemed to like them as he only came back with 4!)

I have been feeling Molly Grace kick for about a week, as each week is getting more and more evident that it is really her kicking me! Win was able to feel her kicking last night!

It's a GIRL!!

I knew it all along, Win was determined it was a boy. Win and I, along with his parents and mine went to St. Vincent hospital for our ultrasound on Tuesday. The ultrasound tech was taking all the normal measurements and then turned the screen to me. She started showing us our baby's face, arms, heartbeat (which had dropped to 140), and feet. Then she said well, baby is not positioned where it needs to be and started poking my stomach and said, "roll over baby", and there it goes, rolling over! When she could finally tell she circled the area and said, "there's no doubt about it, those are definitely girl parts!"

After we heard that, Win and I have not stopped smiling! We are so in love with our precious baby girl already! We had a hard time thinking of names at first but when we said her name, we knew it was right. Her name is "Molly Grace" Anderson. I have always loved double names so our little girl will be called Molly Grace. Molly is a family name on Win's side. Molly was the name of Win's great grandmother and we are excited to use it for our sweet girl!


Our Internet has been out for a few days so as soon as it starts working I will post her pictures and more!

Have a blessed day!

4 days...

The countdown has definitely been going for us. We are counting down the days until we get to see our precious baby in another ultrasound and to find out if this baby is a boy or a girl! I absolutely cannot wait to know what God is blessing us with. We both want a boy first, but I feel like this baby is a girl all the way! Having that mindset, we do not prefer one over the other anymore. We just want a happy, healthy baby!

We will go on Tuesday at 11 am for the ultrasound and my parents and Win's parents will be joining us. I wanted them to be able to enjoy something special before the baby comes and since it is both of their first grandchild, I wanted them to be in there with us for this ultrasound. We are so excited and cannot wait to announce if we'll see a lot of pink or blue!

Here is my 17 week picture from last week:



Last week I drove down to Prattville to see some sweet friends of mine and their precious babies! It was so good to catch up and just hang out with them for the afternoon. I miss and love those girls so much and loved seeing the sweet babies and how big all of them have gotten!



Hope everyone has had a great week and has a wonderful weekend!

God is so good!
