Its a girl!

Keith and I went in for our 19th week ultrasound and the doctor revealed to us that we're having a girl! The ultrasound checked for abnormalities, making sure the little lady has all her ribs and fingers intact. Everything looked good, including the baby's heart and level of fluid. Praise God! We are so thankful that everything checked out well.I could have watched my baby girl all day on the screen. She was really active, moving around and even playing with her fingers! It was amazing to see her so active and alive. Another thing the doctor mentioned was that she was so hungry! Her stomach was completely empty that morning. It didn't help that I was nauseous that morning and didn't eat a complete meal for breakfast. Regardless, We are very excited and thankful for a healthy baby!

And baby makes three


Its been taking me a while to post on this blog. For those of you who know, Keith and I are expecting a baby this summer. The past three months has been filled with ambivalent, fear, excitement, new experiences, anxiety, hopes and dreams as we have gradually accepted the reality of becoming parents and having a human being rely on us for everything. So hence, my hesitation to announce my pregnancy and our new life change. Also, I'm working on "waiting for the other shoe to drop" mentality, as this news, at times was too good to be true. Somebody pinch me!
I'm now in my 17th week and starting to show. I've got as Keith would call it a "little kangaroo pooch". ;-)
At times I can't wait to meet my little bean sprout and hold my baby in my arms, yet also dread the days of sleepless nights. Regardless, this year is sure to be an interesting and an eventful one!
Sorry for the delayed post. I hope to continue to post more often from now on, since I've got a lot going on inside of me! ;-)
