25 Week update

We went to the doctor last week and he said everything looks great and you are measuring right on track. I am a bit iron deficient though so he put me on an iron supplement. We are getting bigger and bigger and now I cant see my feet.You are a kicker and move a lot throughout the day. You like to kick mostly when I'm laying in bed relaxing. I'm feeling good these days and my only complaints are that it's getting harder and harder to move around and chase after Stone and it's getting harder and harder to find clothes that fit. I'm still trying to decide on a color scheme for your bedroom....right now I'm loving grey and yellow or purple and grey. I just can't find any bedding that I really like and is affordable. Stone says we need to paint your bedroom red. He's gonna be such a great big brother to you. He talks to you and is trying his best to remember to be very gentle with my belly. We can't wait to meet you!!

What's in a Name?

We've been talking about names since we knew for sure that you are a girl. Most of the ones I like daddy doesn't think are right for you like:
Avah
Elle
Ainsley
Reece
Ella
And the one daddy likes I felt was too common (although a great name)
Olivia
And Stone likes
Yoda
Tutti
Foofa
names from Tv shows he likes. But the one that daddy and I both like came about kind of out of the blue. Someone said Avery one night while we were sitting around talking with family and we both really like it. So as of now that is your name!
You are moving like crazy these days and I'm getting bigger and bigger. I still feel good except for the upper back pain I have every day when I'm sitting. I'm becoming obsessed with finding the perfect bedding and paint colors for your nursery....I can't wait to meet you! I love you Avery.

My Little Lady

Thursday, October 18th (20weeks) we had an appointment to get a mid pregnancy ultrasound done and fine out if you were going to be another little man or our first little lady. We were so excited! Daddy and I both thought that you were a boy, but Stone was sure you were his little sister. The technician saw right away what she thought you were but proceeded to take a lot of measurements and check to make sure everything was ok and that you were healthy. After that, she kept looking and looking to make sure what she thought was correct. She told us she thought you were a girl but that you wouldn't open your legs for her to be sure. After about 30 minuets she told me to get up and use the bathroom and move around a little to see if we could get you to move. When she looked again you still had your legs crossed like a little lady, but we finally got you to open your legs enough to see for sure that you are our little GIRL! We are super excited, but a little nervous....we only know how to do boy things, so you will be a new experience for us. I can't wait to buy girl things though, and wander through the girl sections in the stores. And I'm super excited to do mommy daughter things together as you get older.
We made our families wait a few days before we told them if you were a boy or a girl. We put together a little party with blue and pink balloons, and had cupcakes made with pink frosting in the middle.
Everyone was super excited that you are a girl and we had a fun little party celebrating you. A few people brought over gifts, so you already have a few cute outfits and blankets. You are already so spoiled and we can't wait to meet you. Now we just have to put together a cute nursery and figure out the perfect name for you.

16 Weeks

Hi there little one! We are 16 weeks into this pregnancy and here's how it's going. I've been feeling well the whole time. No morning sickness at all. I was really tired through the first trimester but have gotten some of my energy back in the last few weeks. I have been having some headaches..about one every other day, but if I take some tylenol it usually knocks it right out. I've put on 6lbs already (with your brother I had only put on 3lbs at this point). But the doctor says I'm growing perfectly. Your heart rate is at 161bpm and I've already felt you move a few times. I LOVE that feeling. We scheduled our ultrasound to find out if you are a boy or a girl for October 18. I think you are a girl...daddy thinks you are a boy...and Stone says he wants a sister. I think we will all be happy as long as you are healthy. I can't wait to find out though so I can start planning a baby room, deciding on names, and so I can do some shopping!
Your first picture!!!!


I love you little one. Please stay safe!
