It's a girl!

She's a Thumbsucker!!

I love her Chubby little cheeks!

Chilling out with her feet up and hands behind her head!

Looking right at us

It's a girl! No doubt about it!

Baby girl has one LONG back!

So Those of you who know me well, know that I can be slightly impatient at times. Yesterday I had one of those moments. Our next schedule appt at the OB is Thursday the 26. We were going to find out the gender that day. Yesterday morning I started getting a bit anxious when I thought about the baby not cooperating and us having to wait longer. I just can't wait any longer!!!! So I looked up The Prenatal Experience and we went there for a gender reveal ultrasound. It was great! It was a big room with a big table for me to lay on and had 2 big comfy couches. We could have brought 6 people with us, but since it was such a spur of the moment decision it was just us. The ultrasound was projected unto a huge 50 inch screen! The tech was so great and and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. She was able to find out the gender without a problem. Turns out our little girl is not bashful at all! And she is VERY energetic. She was moving around so much that the tech had some trouble getting good pictures!! We got 15 pictures of our little one and a DVD of the entire ultrasound.

It was such a great experience and was so worth the money!! We are planning on going there again once I'm 30 weeks so we can get a good look at what the baby is going to look like!

Merry Christmas + Pregnancy Update

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!! Michael and I are happy to have a relaxing christmas this year as we don't have to run around town. His family went up to Wisconsin This year. Last night we had Christmas with the whole Evelo Clan at Grandma and Grandpa Evelo's. It was fun. Raelee of course was the cutest thig ever!!! Today we are relaxing and spending time with my family minus Matt as he is in the MTC.

Time for a pregnancy update:

I am now 15 weeks along

Total Weight gain: I've lost 20lbs!!!! (The doctor said this is fine)

New Pregnancy symptoms/signs this week: Hello Mr. Reflux!! Wow.. tums are my best friend... multiple times a day.
Also I started showing Friday morning. Its actually kind've funny because we went to the OB Thursday and he said I should start showing soon, and the next morning I could barely button my pants! I'm not going to take pictures until I get a little farther along though.

Continuing Symptoms: Nausea - it's getting slowly better though. Fatigue

Maternity Clothes: I have 1 pair of Maternity pants, but I think I'm going to have to give up and buy more very soon.

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good, but I sleep better on the nights Michael is home.

Eating habits: I can't eat much at one time, but I'm basically able to eat everything I normally eat.

Cravings: FRUIT FRUIT AND MORE FRUIT! And trail mix, and orange juice.

Special Pregnancy Moments: Our little one was sucking it's thumb during the ultrasound. It was really cute and special.
We also had bought a fetal doppler heart monitor, and it is really special to Michael and I to listen to the heartbeat together.
