Feeling the Baby Movin'

Our baby is18 weeks today!  She is the size of a sweet potato.  Over 5 inches!  Today at Bible Study I felt our little girl moving around.  I thought I had been feeling it for the last few days but now I am positive she is moving around AND I CAN FEEL IT!  Of course I got teary and wanted to tell the group but it wasn't the appropriate time and Ryan told me I better tell him first [I guess us Goff's have a reputation of telling each other things before our spouses].  People are starting notice the bump growing and commenting on it.  Almost half way there!

Gettin' a baby bump

Well at almost 18 weeks the little bump is starting to show.  It is amazing how different the last few weeks have been compared to the first tri.  Although I am still going to bed around 10pm each night [which is a stretch] things seem to be pretty normal [for now].

Krista was here for the weekend.  We had a great time walking around Balboa, eating too many desserts to count, playing golf, playing dominoes and hand & foot, chatting, crafting, watching the help, watching football and just enjoying being together. 

Here is my growing belly [of course ryan wanted in on the picture too].

Yes, I am going to rock heels until I am forced to wear flats.

baby girl!

On Friday we went to visit the doctor.  Baby pee is about 14 1/2 weeks old.  We were hoping that we could find out if baby pee was a boy or a girl and lucky for us Dr Kim could tell!  We are having a little girl.  Emily and Mark are also having a daughter and we could not be more thrilled about it!  Girl cousins 3 months apart!  Amen. 

Ryan, Krista and Andrew were the only ones in the family who thought baby pee would be a girl.  Although I did start thinking girl after I was so sick for so long (in fact I did buy only girl clothes prior to finding out-and just said if I wasn't having a girl I would give them to Emmy, so I think I knew too :] ).

This weekend has a been a fun labor day weekend of discussing and shopping for our baby girl.

It was amazing at the doctor's appointment this time, baby pee looked like an actual baby.  She waved at us with her little hands, gave us the #1 sign with her pointer finger and and was scratching her head.  It was good to see she has 10 fingers and the dr said she looks very healthy! 

Second trimester has started and has made a world of a difference.  I am eating a lot more and have more energy.  Ryan and I went to the Twins-Angels game on friday (twins won!), Saturday we ran errands all day and saw a movie, Yesterday after church we went and played golf!  I am thankful for 2nd trimester and being able to do some activities again.
