Well...

It looks like most of you out there had the right idea!... That's right, we are having a little girl!!! We are sooooooo excited!!! The ultrasound was an amazing experience! I loved being able to see our little girl in action!

Everything seems to still be going well, although Dr. Astle said that she was a little small for how far along we thought I was. He said that it could be that she is just a small girl, or it could be that we miscalculated and I am not as far along as we thought. We are going to have another ultrasound in 8 weeks to see how things have developed.


Here are the pictures we were able to get from the ultrasound. I will try to explain them if I can...Her little arm

Little cute body... look at that spine!

Yup! It's a Girl! ... we are glad she cooperated! This is the one time it was okay for her not to be modest! :)

The next couple of pictures are 3D, which are very cool, but hard to understand if you don't know what to look for. I'll try and help out as best I can...


She is on the right side of this picture. You can see her profile with her nose and mouth, and you can see her little arm and her hand up toward her forehead!

And.... last but not least, we were able to catch her sucking her thumb!!! It was fun to watch during the ultrasound as her little hand was able to find her mouth!

All in all, it has been a very fun morning! It was such a neat experience to be able to see our little girl and know that she is growing and getting closer and closer to being with us every day! We already love her so much!!!! Bill was so cute during and after the ultrasound! It was fun to hear the excitement in his voice as he called to tell his family, and hear him start talking about "Daddy's little girl!" I know she will get him wrapped around her little finger in no time... she probably already has!

Only 4 more days....

We are just excited because there are only 4 more days until we get to go have our ultrasound!!! I hope our little one will be cooperative so we can start referring to a little boy or girl instead of produce!

Not much

Well, nothing new has really happened lately, but I feel the need to blog anyway. We are anxiously awaiting our ultrasound (as you probably already know), and just living life. I am loving the few days we have had so far of the weather turning colder, but I just wish they would stay! 75 degrees in November is not cold! We were at the Hurricane High football game this last Saturday and it was actually hot! Bill thinks that is just sick and wrong!

I must admit that I never thought I would miss the cold weather or snow... but I do! CRAZY!!! There have been colder days where I have stepped outside and thought, "Oooh! Maybe it will snow!" I know it is foolish though because it only snows once a year in Hurricane, and definitely not in October!

Teaching is going well, but I can't believe how fast the semester is flying by! It will be Christmas before I know it! (Not to mention Thanksgiving!)

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I think it will be really fun this year. At first it was just going to be my parents and my siblings/spouses (all except Charles who is in Canada), but now it has expanded to include my Uncle Todd and his family, as well as my Uncle Zeek. My Grandma and Grandpa Bulloch might be coming too. I love having family around during the holidays!

Well, last of all, I do have to mention the baby progress! Our little one is now about the size of a small/medium mango! Next week my book says it will be the size of a small Cantaloupe! CRAZY!!
