The Poll is Open

Well, I was going to wait to post this on Monday, but I don't have anything to do right now, and watching Matt play xbox just doesn't sound very fun. :)

I don't feel like putting lots of baby updates because nothing really changes from one week to the next. But, one week from Monday (Feb. 7th) we have our ultrasound to find out what the baby is! And I figure halfway through pregnancy is a good point to put an update.

This Monday I'll be 20 weeks. Everything is still really good! So I'm happy about that. The biggest change, besides gaining some weight, is I've been feeling the baby move for the past two weeks. This week Matt even got to feel the baby. I read online that it usually doesn't happen that the spouse can feel the baby till 22 or 23 weeks, but I know he felt it! So we're thinking we've got a strong baby on the way. Maybe a future swimmer like his/her dad. :)

I was actually really happy Matt could feel the movement; it makes it more real for the both of us. And we both talked about how weird it is to think of something growing inside of my body. Anyway, that's about it!

Sorry for the lack of pictures with this post! Mostly this post is for my sister so she can put her vote in, BUT if anyone else would like to vote, feel free to have at it! I think 4 of my family members have voted boy so far. I'll be sure to post the result on either Monday, February 7th or Tuesday the 8th!

I say it's a GIRL! I'm so excited for you to find out! And isn't it the greatest to feel the baby move? That is hands-down my favorite part of being pregnant! I can't believe you're already half-way!

alright, i voted girl. I think secretly it's because I think it'd be awesome if Katelyn had another cute little girl cousin. they'll be best girlfriends! :) but even if it's a boy that'll be fun cause she can beat up on him. hehe ;)
