Baby Sister
Anna Brooke is going to have a baby sister! We are so excited to have another little girl! We don't have any names picked out yet, so right now we are referring to her as Baby Sister.
Here are a couple of ultrasound pictures of her!

We are having a GIRL!
Yay! Yesterday was very exciting. We started out back in ultrasound. For some reason I still can't figure out, the ultrasound tech (Abby) took me into the room first by myself and got all the measurements of the baby she needed to get and then called Brooks & Anna Brooke into the room. AB was with us in the stroller.
It was the cutest thing. All day before our appointment I had been telling her that we get to see inside my belly and look at the baby. That may have been the wrong choice of words. I kept pointing to the screen and she was just staring at my tummy. "Where's the baby, mommy?" Then when Abby put more of the gel on my tummy, Anna Brooke said, "She's giving the baby some medicine!!" It was pretty funny!
Anyway, the baby looks really good. I was mostly concerned that she have 2 arms, 2 legs and a beating heart. :) She did and Abby said she looked healthy! So that is a big relief! Little Baby Sister was being stubborn, though; she didn't want to move too much. She may have been asleep or something, because we could not get her to budge! But at least she let us have a peek at her to see that she's a girl!
Well, we have a task ahead of us: we had a boys name all picked out, but no girls names! We like a lot of different ones, but can't decide. I guess we have about 20 weeks to pick one out. For now, she is being called Baby Sister.
Thank you, God for a wonderful day and a healthy baby!

First Movements
I can't believe I am almost 17 weeks pregnant! I'm so excited! On Monday I went in to the doctor for a regular check up. It was good, nothing unusual. I was in and out in about 30 minutes. The doctor asked me if I had felt the baby move yet. I told him I wasn't sure. For the past week I have been feeling little twitches here and there, but I'm not confident that it is has been the baby...
Until yesterday! I am positive that I felt the baby move a little bit yesterday afternoon. It was after I had eaten lunch, and I was just relaxing for a few minutes and I felt it! It was great! I love that feeling. I remember loving so much feeling my first baby move around inside of me. She was a little acrobat! I hope that this baby is the same way. Its very comforting to know that your baby is doing alright by feeling their movements. :)
Well, not a whole lot is going on other than that. In about a week we will be going back for our anatomy ultrasound. So I hope that the baby will cooperate so we can find out the sex! Brooks is not so secretly hoping we'll have a boy. I know he would love a girl, too, of course, but a little boy would be amazing to have! I personally wouldn't mind having another girl, we could just reuse all of our precious little baby clothes. However, I love to shop for baby stuff, so if we have a boy, of course I will be ecstatic! We will just have to wait and see. God knows the perfect family for us!
