Boring is Good

Boring is good, or no news is good news! At least that's what I always told patients and their families who were sick in the intensive care unit. I now truly know what these statements mean. It's one step farther and one day closer to having our little bundle of joy in our arms.

Jordan had to leave town again. His grandpa (grandpa Marshall) died Friday evening and the funeral is today in Huron, SD. I had to stay home because a 4 1/2 hour trip is too long for me in the car and I'm still on bedrest. I feel terrible that I can't be there supporting Jordan and his family during this time. Hopefully, everyone understands. I am still with them in mind and spirit and apologize for my absence. May grandpa Marshall be in a better place and not suffering anymore.

I am officially 16 weeks today and have an OB appointment on Thursday. So we'll see how everything looks. The gut is getting bigger by the day, or at least that's how I feel. And the neatest thing is that I'm starting to feel the baby kick! It's only occasionally right now, mostly at night when I'm laying on the couch or in bed. But I love it and can't wait until Jordan can feel the baby kick!

There have been many of you who have asked. Yes, we will find out the sex of the baby before birth. In fact, we should be finding out within a month or so! No baby names have been picked out though. And I am very curious about who voted for what. So far, the girls are winning!

Here is the newest picture of my belly. It is starting to round out a bit, which means that Jordan is winning in our bet so far. Enjoy!
