24 Weeks

Celie seems to be making great progress.  We're at 24 weeks now.  I'm not sure Micah understands he's about to have a little sister but he sure likes blowing raspberries on my belly.  :-) 

I've been thinking I was much bigger this time around but when I looked back at pregnancy pictures I was convinced I was bigger with Micah.  I did a comparison and appear to be about the same size, just carrying much different.

Another Active Baby

As Celie (this is the spelling we agreed on for her name) gets bigger I'm beginning to realize that she is going to be a lot like Micah.  From very early on I have felt a bump here and there.  I felt her kick my hand for the first time at 17 weeks.  She didn't seem to be as active as Micah though.  I had been trying to remember when he began moving 24-7 and Scott first felt him move.  I don't recall exactly when either of those were.  Regardless, Celie has pretty much been moving nonstop for the past couple of days.  And at 19 weeks Scott finally felt her kick several times Sunday morning.  Before she wouldn't kick around long enough for me to get him to my stomach.  Looks like we're going to have another active baby on our hands.  Sure hope we're ready!!!

It's A GIRL!

God has blessed us beyond measure the past few years, and he continues to do so.  We found out a few weeks ago that we were likely having a girl.  During our anatomy scan yesterday Dr. Whittle confirmed without a doubt that we will be having a baby girl!  We are so excited!!!



Micah made the big announcement to some of our closest family and friends.  I'm not sure how he feels about having a baby sister, but he loved the balloons.  He went to our doctor's appointment since we were only having the sonogram done.  He did so good once the lights were out and the machine was on.  When Dr. Whittle checked the heart rate Micah would look from my stomach to the monitor.  He was definitely taking it all in and trying to figure it out. The baby looks good.  All organs are developing right on track and she is currently 10 oz. with a heart rate of 149.  Dr. Whittle said she is a big baby but not too big.

We do have a name for the little one. We've actually had the name picked out for a while since we felt so certain we were having a girl.  It's a good thing we were right, because we haven't even considered a boy's name!  Baby #2 will be named Adrienne Ceeley.  We're still debating how to spell the middle name, but for announcement purposes I settled on Ceeley.  That spelling is subject to change.  Name meaning:  Adrienne "from Hadria" and Ceeley "heavenly/blessed".  I love that both of our children's names will show tribute to God.  Micah is "Gift from God" and Ceeley is "Heavenly or blessed".

Hello Second Trimester

We had our monthly checkup today at 14 weeks. Everything looks good.  I have gained 4 lbs so far and have a goal to gain 3-4 lbs by next month's visit.  We will have the anatomy scan at next month's visit.  Baby's heartbeat is still nice and strong.  I hope all looks good next month.

11 weeks

Wow, can't believe we are moving into our 11th week!  This pregnancy already seems to be going by so quickly.  We are finally getting over being sick in our house. Micah and I have both had a terrible summer cold with sore throats (not sure if his has been sore or not) and lots of coughing, Micah was terribly sick over the weekend, and Scott's throat has been sore.  I hope this is the last of the sickness I see while pregnant.  I'm behind on taking belly pics.  Nothing is really being missed because from what I can tell there hasn't been much change.  I think as bloat and flab go away it is being replaced by baby related stuff at the same rate.  I should be nice and big come Halloween.  Will have to come up with some cute costume ideas.  :-)

First Photo

We had our 10 week checkup today. Everything looked good. Baby is measuring 10 weeks 4 days and had a heart rate of 171 bpm. We were able to see the yolk sac and the umbilical cord. This time around we also got video. Will try to post later but it won't really be a whole lot to see.
