It's a.....

GIRL!!! And we are so excited:) Here is a picture from today of me at almost 20 weeks....It proved very difficult to take this picture for some reason, but we finally got one that was okay---Jonas is pushing on my tummy, and that is why it looks weird---and his eyes are barely open, but more open than in all of the other pictures. Not to mention that today is the day of the rain forest outside---it is gloriously humid. Now, I wouldn't want to be trying to sleep outside in a tent in this humidity, but the moisture in the air is what we CRAVE during the dark, dry winters when our knuckles and lips are chapped and cracking, so I am thankful for it today---and it is fun to watch tomatoes ripen before your eyes:) I feel like I could just swim through the air:) (Which would be nice, wouldn't it, all my pregnant friends?:)

I am so excited to be nearing the 1/2 way mark on this pregnancy, not that I am wishing it away, but I am so excited to meet baby girl and show Jonas his baby "siser". He tells us all the time how he is going to "brush her hairs", "pay toys with her", feed her this and that snack, etc.---I hope this helpful attitude stays alive and well until December 4th! The ultrasound was wonderful---it is so much fun to see your baby and know more about them while they are living inside of you---and the ultrasound put my due date at Dec.2, which is fine by me--however, they don't officially change your due date unless it is off by 1 and 1/2 or 2 weeks---so we're still saying Dec. 4. And I just love feeling her moving---what a cool feeling:) And here she is...making her blog debut:)
Blessings to all of you---Happy Humidity Everyone!
