The Baby kicks!

So today was the first day that Chris had actually 100% felt Baby XX kicking!! We were waiting for a car to take us to the airport, sitting on the sofa and she started to move around. Chris rushed over and put his hand on me belly and felt her kick... HARD! Very funny. Chris was GLOWING. I'm glad that he can feel her kick with me now. Not that he was left out of feeling her kick before, but he was. HAhHAHhaHaah. It's great to be able to share the exhilaration and excitement. :)

What flavor is it?? - Sonogram 20 weeks

what is it? do you know? what flavor is it? pink or blue? do you want to know what the baby is? girl or boy??? at first, i didn't want to know what it was going to be. chris had always said that it's up to me to make the decision. "whatever you want to do is what i want to do." truly said like a wonderful baby daddy. of course, i know he wanted to know deep down. some parent's decisions to wait for it to be a surprise say they waited because "there aren't that many surprises that happen in life". BOLOGNA! after some thinking, i figured... baby XX in itself was a huge surprise. i'm done with the thrills for right now.

what do you think??? perhaps you think it's a girl. you can clearly see the female anatomy. or wait... what is that? a fifth appendage? could that baby have a penis, or is that just the umbilical cord? well... if you guessed that it's a BOY, you are totally wrong. you want to rethink that decision to go into medschool. BABY XX IS A GIRL!!! i know, you're wondering how will my hate for the color pink, and all shades of the color pink will effect things. honestly, i don't know yet. i'm just stoked that my mom sent me a St. Louis Cardinals onesie- white with red pinstripes. similar to this: PIMP.

the sonogram was phenomenal! even more than the previous one! they get more and more amazing! she waved a couple of times, kicked, flopped around, stretched HER arms and legs out. you could see HER toes on her little feet and fingers on HER little hands. the doctor took a sonogram photo of HER where SHE was tipping HER head back and opening HER mouth pretty big. it looked like SHE was yawning! the CUTEST THING EVER!!!! here is the sonogram of it:

soooooo cute right? things aren't looking as roomy in there as they did before... i don't think i would do so well with my 5'8" stature and all, especially if i were wearing heels. but hey, when does that ever happen? at this point, SHE's about 6.5 inches from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel (aka. crown to rump measurement) SHE's my growing baby GIRL!!!
