Let the Count Down Begin...

We have started counting down...only 3 1/2 months to go before we get to meet Baby Gill! Joe and I are so excited and have really started trying to prepare for her as much as possible. We are beginning to get the nursery ready (a blog to follow) and REALLY talking about names. Joe is very picky and wants her to have the perfect name. I'm picky as well, but I've come to the point where I'm just ready to have a name to call her. People say we have a name and we are secretly keeping it to ourselves, I assure you this is not the case!!


Baby Gill at 20 Weeks

On August 11 Joe and I went for my 20 week appointment. This was the "big one" where they look at Baby Gill's development. She weighed in at 12 oz! She is a little smaller than what they predicted and pushed back how far along I am, but only by a few days.
As of now, Baby Gill is breached and tends to stay in a ball. During ultrasounds she tends to only like to stretch and suck her thumb. In fact, during my 20 week appointment I had to get up and walk around to get her to move. I hope this means she is going to be a calm, laid back baby! My sister did once tell me her most active child during pregnancy is her most active child...I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

The Bump at 23 Weeks

Ok...for all of you who keep asking here it is...the bump! Joe took this of me after church on Sunday so at this point I am actually 23 weeks! I am currently still wearing my normal clothes, except for jeans. I can fit in my jeans just not comfortably so I have been wearing maternity jeans. As for shorts, I can still wear mine just with a belly band. Lately I have just been pairing jeans with flowy tops and it seems to be doing just fine at this point that is. I keep waiting for the day when absolutely nothing in my closet fits, but thanks to some great friends and family they are helping to keep me stocked in maternity clothes.

  1. I can't wait to see her (and you). I just teared up seeing those ultrasound pics. There is a real baby in there! Ahhh! You will come up with a good name soon. Just start using the one you like a lot and he will get used to it :)
