19 week check up.....It's girl!!!!

Yesterday, Matt and I went for our 19 week check up and found out that the baby was healthy, growing well, and the BIG news/reveal......it's a girl!!! I drank about half of a Mellow Yellow before we went to the OB so she would be moving around and that she was. The doctor was actually laughing because at this visit you get all the measurements and she was flipping from one side to the other making it hard to measure. (Note: That is why in one picture she is on her stomach and the next she is on her back! :) He told us we were going to have our hands full when she comes out if she's still going like this! But, everything looks great. Her measurement are all good (she is actually a couple of week bigger than her due date so either she'll come early or we're going to have ourselves a big little girl! We have decided on the name Annie Lane Boss. We wanted something that wasn't common but at the same time was simple. We had some friend come over last night and brought us our first little girl gift (Picture above) and an adorable pink and green polka dot onesie cake! I can already tell we're going to have a lot of fun with all the pink and ruffles!
Since I didn't post last week, I also wanted to catch up a little with what else has been going on. Last Sunday, January 16th, was the first time I actually felt Annie move. We were on our way home from church, and I felt a small little bump. I wasn't confident it was her, but it felt different. On Monday, I felt her again for about 5 minutes after lunch. Since then, she has been on the move and moves all the time (especially when I eat chocolate...just like her mother!) It's so awesome to finally get to feel her move and Matt is dying to feel her. Hopefully it won't be to long and he can feel her move all around as well.
So, things are going well here and we are continuing to prepare for our baby girl! The fun part is about to begin as we start to decorate the nursery and get things ready for June. This pregnancy is flying by and she will be here before we know it!

The journey of starting a blog....

16 week bump (Just barely starting to show)

BB at our 6 week check up (Just a small butterbean!)

15 week check up (My favorite...BB sucking thumb!)

15 weeks (Just relaxing!)

So, now that Matt and I are expecting our first baby on June 19,2011, I thought it would be a good time to start a blog so we can remember all that happens and be able to share it with our family and friends all over the USA and world. Hopefully we'll be able to keep you up to date with all the latest pregnancy info until BB (Baby Boss) arrives and then we will share all the exciting moments and stories as we watch our little one grow! To catch everyone up to date with where we are now....Tomorrow, January 2nd I will be 16 weeks along. We just had our 3rd ultrasound this past Tuesday and although we tried very hard to find out the sex of BB it was a little too early. The doctor said that hopefully we will be able to find out at our visit next month. I'm starting with a tiny little bump ( we'll post a picture in a bit) so it's starting to feel a little more real. The doctor told us BB is doing great and looks healthy as well. So, as we start this new year and this new blog, we hope you will all be blessed in this new year to come and enjoy this blog as we share this special journey of our lives with you! Happy 2011 to everyone from all of us here in SC!
