Anatomy Screening

We had our second trimester ultrasound last Thursday and it went great! The specialist was able to check all of the baby's organs and bones, and she is developing perfectly. He did, however, mention after viewing her long legs that she might grow up and be tall just like her daddy! Although she was really wiggly, she was in the breach position throughout the entire process...no matter what we did, she would not roll over! Don't worry, this is a normal, healthy position for babies at this stage but it made his job a little more difficult. I guess she just wasn't in the mood to have her picture taken that day:)

Our next appointment is February 2nd, and we will be meeting our new doctor. Matthew and I have been on the hunt for someone closer to our home, and hopefully she will be the one. We have a copy of the entire ultrasound from the anatomy screening on DVD. As soon as Matthew is able to upload it on the computer, we will share the highlights with you.

Big Brother Buddy

I saw this adorable shirt online last week and had to get it for Buddy! We are all anxiously waiting to see how Buddy will react when the baby arrives this summer. He is so used to being "top dog." I'm sure once he meets her, he will love our little girl as much as we do.

Another trip to the Doctor

I went to the Dr. today for my monthly checkup. Everything looked great. Her heartbeat was really strong...although we had a hard time finding it because she was moving around so much. She is always so active each time we go to the Dr. (my dad is convinced that she is already an athlete). That's all the news we have for now...I don't go back for another ultrasound until January 22nd. Happy New Year!!!

Christmas in Colorado

We were so lucky to spend the holidays in Colorado with Matthew's parents. It was so nice to just relax and hang out. We had so much fun...we only wish we could have stayed longer. Although, I don't think Buddy would have liked that idea at all. He did not like the snow...I think he really missed the warm Texas weather.

It's a Girl!

Here she is!!! We have been waiting so long for this precious little girl. After going to the Dr. on December 19th we were so happy to find out that Baby Allen is strong and healthy. The ultrasound was the most amazing experience. It was so much fun watching her move around. We can't wait to see how much she has changed when we go back next month.
