I am still feeling fantastic! There are times, just for a second, that I forget I'm pregnant because I feel so much like myself again. The baby bump is growing, but not much to photograph just yet. This past week I did start to feel some flutters in my belly! It tickles--almost to the point I want to laugh! These aren't every day yet, but if I eat a lot of sugar the baby starts doing somersaults!
Our next appointment is January 17 and they will be doing the anatomy screening ultrasound and looking to see if our little one will be wearing pink or blue. Although, we can appreciate the excitement of waiting to know the gender when the baby is born, we are so excited to find out soon! We decided it would be way more fun to find out with our families with us, so we are going to have a gender reveal party with everyone at home!
Luckily, our appointment is on a Friday, so we only have to wait one day! We are getting the ultrasound technician to write the gender down and are going to have my friend, Cindy, wrap an outfit that we will open with everyone!
If it's a boy:

Or if it's a girl:
A lot of people have asked what we would prefer, and like all parents, our main concern is that the baby is healthy but Justin thinks it's a boy and I am feeling girl!
Over Christmas, we had fun with some old wives tales sitting around at Grandma's for supper! Here are just a few of what was concluded:
Heart rate: >140 = GIRL
The ring test = BOY
Sweet or sour: sour = GIRL
Sleep on right or left: right = GIRL
Morning sickness?: that was a big fat yes = GIRL
Acne? no = BOY
Either way, it will be fantastic! ALL of our friends...no seriously, ALL of our friends are having a boy! So that would be really fun! And then who doesn't want a girl to put in little precious dresses! I mean look at that thing!! It is too cute!
We feel very blessed to become parents and can't wait to share as many of these experiences with our parents as we can!
