I can feel the baby!!!

I think it was about week 18 or 19 that I started to feel the baby for the first time. But I wasn't sure until last week when she started moving more frequently. She's also stronger now; her movement made the pregnancy more a reality for me. Sometimes, I would poke my belly lightly, and I would feel her move around a bit. Tim said I was mean! but I think it's nice way to interact with her. ;-)

First ultrasound

Yesterday was my birthday. I am 31 years old!! Well, I am not too upset about it. I have a wonderful husband and a healthy baby in my belly. :) We went for our first ultrasound in the morning. I think it was the most exciting birthday I ever had. I was so looking forward to the day, and even though I had to keep a full bladder, I knew it would be worth it. At first, we couldn't figure out what we were looking at. Then we saw the baby's spine, head, heart, arms, and legs!! It was so neat! We also found out baby's gender -- baby girl!!!!! About 5 minutes after we found out, Tim said he's getting an ulcer. He's starting to worry for our little baby girl. That was so sweet.
