20 weeks and the big reveal!

 

At 20 weeks...

*Nothing too new and excited, except we found out that...

YOU'RE A GIRL!  We will be bringing home our sweet Mia Elizabeth Laren come August!

The ultrasound went great (our doctor's appointment is on Monday).  Mia was measuring exactly where she should be except for having a bit of a big belly!

The winning shot...in the beginning you would not open your legs.

You were stubborn & kept turning, not getting a profile shot.

Most of your profile shots were with your hand covering your face.

Your face shot...you have mommy's pointed chin and your daddy's nose!

This is the dress we picked out for your coming home outfit!

First Glimpse

Yesterday was honestly the best day of this pregnancy by far...no morning sickness was not gone, no I did not feel like 100%...but I got to see you!

It was our first ultrasound and Daddy and I got to see and hear your beating little heart...165 bpm!  I wanted to cry.  I've had no symptoms to think that something was wrong, but to see your heart beating on that screen made everything seem so real and to know that you were healthy was too good to hear!  You are measuring a bit small, so my due date will get pushed back a week probably...but I'm waiting for the doctor to call and confirm this!
At one point as the tech was moving all aroun you even kicked one of your legs up...though your daddy missed that part!  It was exciting to share your "first picture" with all of our friends and family and was totally amazed to see that your daddy posted this on facebook:

Getting to hear my baby's heartbeat for the first time was amazing. God you rock!!
