Kick

I felt my first kick, punch, elbow, or whatever it was today. The first one was a big one right into the palm of my hand. I got to feel a few other smaller ones after that. It was really cool. This is starting to seem pretty real. Ang says she's being kicked like crazy. I think she swallowed a soccer team.

We had our first ultrasound today. It was really cool. Don't worry, Tater Tot has all his/her parts. You can click on the pictures to see a full size view!

Face - As we were watching it the baby opened its mouth for this picture

Week 18.5

I can't believe 18 weeks have already gone by. So fast, and yet so slow! The bump is starting to show a little more, and I think this is just the beginning of popping, so be prepared:) On 1/12, 2 days ago, I began feeling little tater tot move. What an amazing feeling, to know that the baby is alive, healthy, and listening to everything I say and do. Phil and I are both so excited for our ultrasound in a litte over a week. We will hopefully get a picture posted afterwards for everyone to enjoy. It will be so awesome to see this little one finally, even if only in a picture!

We have started the process of getting our house in order for a new member. We have lots more organizing and rearranging to go, before we can begin even working on the baby room. But it is fun to think in less than 5 months we will have a baby to share our home with! Phil bought some name books as well, as we have no ideas for girls' names. Any suggestions?? Thanks for staying posted! More to come in a week or so.
