Merry Christmas
Jeremy and I got Logan Christmas gifts this year - it was really exciting and fun. He opened my gifts to her and I opened his gifts to her. We also got each other a gift from Logan. It was so cool. I can't wait until next year when she is actually here and we can buy stuff for her and she has gifts to open herself.
We already have cute stuff for her. Now we need to get her room ready so we have a place to put all this stuff!
We can't wait until next year when she is here to enjoy our Christmas tradition with us! I am really looking forward to having our own traditions, including ALWAYS waking up at our house on Christmas day. This was the best part of Christmas for me and my siblings and we want Logan to have the same experience. Life is grand and we can't wait to meet her!

It's a girl!!!
This morning, Jeremy and I found out we were having a girl! We are so excited!
Before the ultrasound tech started looking around, she wanted to make sure we wanted to know the gender. We told her yes!! She started looking around and finally made it to the "parts" and it was very evident that it was a girl!!! We have some really good pictures and also a video. The doctor came in a little bit later and went through the ultrasound, took measurements and said that everything looks really good. She is measuring about 9 ounces and we are right on track for a May delivery.
Once we left, we called my mom and told her. I wanted to try to trick her and tell her it was a boy because she was so darn sure it was a girl, but she didn't fall for it. Then started the chain of calling all of our family. It was so fun to hear everyone's reactions - they were all so excited - except for a few. But it was so nice to give everyone the good news.
We are naming her Logan, she doesn't have a middle name yet, so we have to decide on that. She has been moving around like crazy. It so amazing to feel her move. Jeremy is very anxious to feel her as well. I can't wait until he can experience it too. It is the best feeling in the world!
It is kind of surreal that in about 21 1/2 weeks we will have a baby in the house. My good friends are planning the baby shower and now they know it's a girl, they are soooo excited to have everything "all girl" My sister and mom have already bought clothes for her. My sister showed me some of the cute onesies they bought and boy are they adorable!! I went looking today for an outfit for Logan, but didn't find one that I wanted to buy. The search will continue tomorrow and every day thereafter until I find her the perfect outfit!

15 weeks
Today I am 15 weeks along. I've got a bump, visible in clothing.
I get an email weekly from babycenter.com that tells me what is going on this week in pregnancy. They are always comparing the size of the baby to a fruit. This week, Speck is the size of an apple, about 4 inches long and weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. I think it is so amazing how much speck is growing and I am getting more and more excited about meeting speck!
In just 3 short weeks, we will know the gender of this baby. Lots will be determined then, such as name, room color and what we will end up registering for! I am looking forward to doing all this fun stuff. I have resisted buying anything for this child (except diapers) until I know the gender. Once I do, I will probably buy a cute outfit of some sort.

14 weeks and some updates
October 26th, I had my first glance at speck. Jeremy and I were so excited! The feeling of seeing our baby for the first time was AMAZING!
We got to the place for the ultrasound, and they took up back to this room to talk to us about first trimester screenings. They draw blood from me and then take measurements on the baby from the ultrasound and then from all the results they put together my risk for this baby having down's syndrome, trisomy 21 and some other genetic disorders. The nurse left us to get the room ready and while we were in there, Jeremy and I talked about going ahead and doing the screening, just so we are prepared. Once we went in the room for the ultrasound, I laid down on the bed and waited on the tech to come in. The room was set up with the machine by the bed and then a huge 36" TV on the wall across from the bed. The tech found the heartbeat and the baby and then turned on the TV for Jeremy and I see speck! OMG. It was so AMAZING and words can't describe how we felt looking at our baby on the screen. It was so cool to see speck bouncing around, waving arms around, and it seemed that speck had long legs! The heart rate was 163 and she said things looked good. We gave her a DVD to record the ultrasound and she also gave us some pictures. The doctor came in and took the measurements of neck and stuff and said that speck looked perfect. When he was just about done, he asked if the tech told us the gender of the baby. I said No, but then asked him if he could tell. He said he could and asked if we wanted to know. We did. He said he thinks it's a girl. He said, "Now don't go buying a bunch of pink stuff, we are about 80% accurate when we guess the gender at this age" So now we have to wait until December 7th to find out for sure. We are really excited.
Later that day, Jeremy and I came home and watched the video from the ultrasound. It was just so cool. I skyped with my mom later that evening and we played the DVD on our TV and I put the computer (webcam) on the TV and she was able to see the ultrasound. She loved it! It was the best thing in the whole world to be able to share that with her. We also shared with with my grandma as well. We called Jeremy's dad and step mom to tell them about the ultrasound and told them about skype. They said they would look into it.
I am getting more and more excited about this baby coming and I can't wait to meet speck!!!
On a different note, I am now 14 weeks and 1 day. I am feeling pretty good. I am feeling like I am getting a little bigger and kind of can't wait until I get a baby bump. I went looking for clothes the other day and am struggling because I don't fit into maternity clothes and my current clothes are getting too tight. I am going to go shopping again this weekend with a friend to hopefully find some clothes!
Oh and another nice surprise....Sunday, I went out the front door to take out the trash and I noticed a box on my front porch. It was a little care package from my brother and sister in law and niece. It had a blanket, bib, toy and 3 gender neutral onesies and a thermometer. I told Jeremy how cool that was and that would be one less thing we need to get. This child will be so loved and spoiled!
