Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice!

It’s a girl! We had our 20 week ultrasound on Wednesday. Despite my efforts in the form of a sugar-filled glass of OJ, our little girl was calm as can be. But thankfully she was also relaxed in a very cooperative position. The doctor was immediately able to get a great shot, and let us take a guess at what we saw. Though hesitant, I told him it looked like a girl to me – and he confirmed!

And the shopping has officially commenced! Baby Rags has her first truly girly outfit. Our next purchase was the crib bedding. Here are a couple pics:

16 Week Ultrasound Pics



















Welcome to Baby Rags!

Being that we officially hit the halfway mark, I finally decided it's time to start a blog! Our little Baby Rags has grown from an embryo, which we lovingly called "embry" to a fetus, which we also loving call "fetz". Our suprise has grown into excitement and into an amazing love.

We've been lucky to have seen our little fetz five times already! We've watched him/her grow from the size of a poppyseed to a cantaloupe! I'll post some pics of the ultrasounds soon. We've also listened to the little one's heart beat, which was a whopping 160 bpm just yesterday. It truly is the most wonderful sound that I could ever imagine.

We're also counting down to next Wednesday (9/24) when we should find out Baby Rags's gender. Of course everyone wants to know what mother's intuition is leading me to believe, but the best I can say is that I'm confident it's a healthy baby. And, boy or girl, we will love Baby Rags more than we could ever imagine!

I'll upload some pics of the ultrasounds and some growing belly shots soon.

Love you all!
