Friday I felt our baby girl kick for the first time! AMAZING. People told me it would take a couple times for me to realize what it was but that wasn't the case here. She must have kicked pretty hard (did it feel like she used laces or inside of the foot, her daddy asked) because I immediately thought, 'that's the baby kicking'. It didn't feel like anything else but a kick! It has happened a couple times since and I love every time! It's a reminder that yes, there is a baby in there and she is doing well.
Every day the reality that we are having a DAUGHTER seems to become more and more real. We can hardly wait for her to be here. When I'm just sitting on the couch watching TV I like to think about having her there next to me or laying on my chest. Todd likes to talk about how she will be with HIM all the time and in her little carrier on his chest while he works and coaches. (I'm letting him think I will willingly give her up for now....) Basically, both of us can't wait to meet our little sweetheart!
We pray our daughter will be a joyful, others-centered, passionate person who desires and follows hard after our Lord. If you're the praying type, we'd love for you to join us in praying for our baby!

It's a.....
GIRL!!!!!
We found out Monday and are so excited. When the lady told us it is a girl, we both smiled but apparently did not react in the way she is used to seeing people react. So she told us "don't worry, you can have a boy next time". I immediatly replied, "No, I wanted a girl." To which Todd whipped his head around and said, "You did? You never expressed it that strongly before." :)
Well...I had in my head :). and maybe I didn't want to be disappointed so I didn't outright say how I desired a baby girl. Truthfully, we would have loved either a boy or girl, but for whatever reason, I leaned towards wanting a girl first :)
So, lot's of bows and pink are in our near future! Todd said he is now more worried that before..."boys are tough and you don't have to worry. But girls, you have be tender and careful with" were his words. I love it! He is already a sucker for her. Daddy's lil princess is on her way...can't wait to see him love on her!
I am 18 weeks and definitely feeling like I'm looking pregnant now. I think I am occasionally feeling the baby move and yes, I still have morning sickness! ehhh. (although, interesting tidbit... I only get sick when I wake up early. Anyone think the baby is like her mama and likes to sleep in? I think so!)
