We had another Dr's appointment yesterday. I am at 24 weeks and doing just fine. No complications, other than some back pain, but the chiropractor is helping me with that. I go back to the Dr. on Friday of this week for the routine diabetes testing. They make you drink this icky sugar juice and then draw blood an hour later. Hopefully results for that will be normal, but other than that, this has been a really fun pregnancy so far! Dave has taken super good care of me, put up with my whining when my back hurts, and we get through it with a quick back rub, it's awesome!

Art project for Izzy
I found this SUPER cool new site that allows you to create your own collages with all kinds of words and it puts them in a cool format at a click of a button....man I love the internet! Here's what I made for Izzy, it took a whole 30 seconds!

New Baby Bedding for Izzy!

We bought baby bedding for Izzy this week. (We are thinking Isabella Mae Kavanaugh and have already started calling her Izzy) It is by far the coolest baby girl bedding I have EVER seen, I absolutely love it! I think I love it because it's not the traditional pastel stuff, it's FUN! We got the 10 piece bedding set with the diaper holder, the clothes hamper, 2 window valances, and the wall hangings. I plan to buy a 'rose damask' stencil and put that same pattern on the walls. My sister has agreed to paint a few quotes on the walls as well, her hand writing is so beautiful and I am completely the quote girl, so it'll be fun to see it all come together.
Dave also surprised me with a new 'travel system' when I got home from work on Tuesday night. It's the infant car seat with the matching jogger stroller in grey and light green, it's awesome! So we are officially done buying the big stuff for a little while, it just feels good to buy things bit by bit so it's not so overwhelming towards the end of the pregnancy with all that we still need.
Izzy's an active little bugger, she kicks a lot. Every morning after I have breakfast she gets a little workout session in of some kicks and punches while I'm sitting at my desk at work, and then in the afternoon she'll start right up again. I'm glad she's getting a decent exercise regimine in my belly! I love feeling her kick though, it's the most amazing and surprising thing to feel her twirling around in there getting comfortable and making her little body stronger.
One very sweet thing I have to share on here, we were going to bed last night and Dave whispered to my belly 'I love you' and my heart completely melted right then and there (yes, of course there were tears...happy ones). It was another reality check that there's a little person in me! I'm going to be 24 weeks tomorrow and I'm still getting daily reality checks that I'm actually pregnant and we're having a baby! I can't wait til July!

Little kicks as I drifted off to sleep...
I felt the most amazing little 'pokes' (aka kicks) coming from my belly as I went to sleep last night. I had a perma-grin on my face as I fell asleep. It was THE COOLEST feeling to have a little human reaching out to let me know she's doing alright and just reminding me she's there! I loved every second of it. She just started kicking again this afternoon and it reminded me to post this blog real quick! More 'milestone moments' to come!

It's a GIRL!
She's due on the 4th of July - our due date has stayed the same throughout this entire process...and what a cool due date it is! This summer is going to be full of fun for us as we grow our family, and we are over the moon excited about having a little baby girl.
The ultrasound was such an amazing experience. She had herself positioned perfectly for the ultrasound tech to determine that it was actually a 'she' within the first 10 seconds of the ultrasound. She had the hicups during the ultrasound and it was the cutest thing to watch her little belly bounce every so often with another little 'hic-cup'!
She was moving all around, with her arms above her head making the 'sooooo big' sign, and then her arms would cover her mouth, it was incredible to watch. She would turn around and show us her backside and then she'd just hang out and let the technician take all the measurements...such a well behaved little girl already! ;o)
We can't wait to start buying gender specific items now - I am in awe to now be able to say 'she' and 'her' and refer to the baby as something other than 'it' or 'the baby'.
We will keep you posted on more fun stuff to come!
