First and foremost...
IT'S A GIRL!!!!
God answered lur prayers and the desires of our heart and she is ALLLLL girl :)
Sweet little Macyn May!
I don't remember much before in week 19 but week 20 was sooo amazing <3 and I have been so busy with school, reveal party, church and life (with a baby girl inside of me) I totally forgot about updating this blog!
The day we went to see her ultrasound, Sept 25, 2012, Vernon and I both were nervous...but not about if she was a boy or girl- we just wanted her to be healthy! and that she was!! I prayed that God would show us her "parts" and we would know 100% what she was...& as soon as the sonographer placed the thingy on my belly- she was allllll girl!!! She had her little butt pressed against my belly and we could see she had no winky and all her little "parts" <3
I screamed "it's a girlllll" and Lucy (our sonographer) said yes it is! :) Vernon just made small talk I think not to get emotional. I could see it in his eyes though--he was so happy we were having a girl. We both longed for her and prayed for a girl- though a boy would be perfect too...we really wanted a girl <3
She was perfect. Though she was sleeping- she quickly woke up and started waving to us, then hiding her face and kicking her legs. She is perfect!
On Thursday- I found a lady on craiglist and paid $25 for a 4D video. I cried in that one because she was just precious!! She kept trying to suck her thumb and we got a perfect face shot <3 Can't wait to see her again!!
I go back at 24 weeks for my GD test and praying that I am okay- praying that I do not have it, even though I have gained a significant amount of weight (that I will lose within 6 months- promising now!) but we will see :) I will also schedule my 4D ultrasound at doctor's office too <3
I can't believe we on the down slope now :) She will be here in less than 4 months!!
Doctor also expects her to come a little sooner than Feb 14 just because she was measuring a little larger...but we will see again at my next ultrasound in about 6-8 weeks :)
We also painted her nursery this weekend (10/13). Baby pink and green! and got her crib set in. Vernon's mom also bought a bassinet for us and we both have bought Macyn May cute little outfits :) She is going to be spoillllleeeedd!!!
How far along? typing this I am 22 weeks & 4 days!! eek! Only 17.5 weeks to go!!

Total weight gain: last appointment (9/25) I was up 22lbs. =/ I am trying not to worry about it anymore...I have gained 7lbs every 6-7 weeks so hopefully I will only gain 40lbs by the end!
Maternity clothes? I am starting to out grow them! LOL my belly is getting bigger and bigger!
Stretch marks?I think I have 2 little ones...they are tiny purple-ish lines...almost like a vein (Macyn has given me a nice HUGE varicose vein on the back of my leg!)
