almost half way there

Friday was my most recent checkup. Things seem to be progressing well. I'm definately gaining weight and my belly (fundal height) measured 21 inches from my pelvic bone to my ribcage. The AFP test came back normal—Yay! Baby's heartbeat sounded steady and strong and measured in the 150's. This coming Friday, Josh and I go in for my second ultrasound. Unfortunately I have to drink 32 ounces of water one hour before the appointment and keep my bladder full until it's over. Wish me luck on that one—it's seems like a form of torture if you ask me. The main purpose of this ultrasound is to check out organ development and size versus date estimates but we are hoping to find out the gender too. It's all dependant on the cooperation of the Wee One. Send us good vibes that day.

Here's a lovely aerial shot of me Josh took yesterday—18 weeks and counting.

hehe. Aerial shot. You look great!

I am excited for you. Hope the baby cooperates. My nephew decided to look away from the camera the first time they tried to find gender. My sister could barely contain herself for that month until she went back.

What a great shot!

Every time I read your posts I get more and more excited for you! So are you going to share the gender with us all if you find out?

VP—If we are able to find out, we'll share for sure. My Mom wants to know right away and I have a small list of those I must call. Of course I'll share with all of you.
