Baby Girl

I was fortunate to have my friend, Olivia, scan our baby girl.  

She knew Huddy's gender the whole time and was able to keep it a secret, even at my baby shower!

I had been trying to iron out whether or not we were finding out the gender for this baby for weeks!  Every time I would ask Jared, he would smile and walk the other way or change the topic on the phone.  Finally when we decided to keep our earlier ultrasound date, I asked him if we could find out (it was only days away).  He changed the subject like always:).  Then he called me back 20 minutes later and asked me "Do you really want to find out?"  LOL.  Yes, this is a very Katie personality quirk, I wanted to know and then I didn't.  Then I'd beg to find out, then I'd tell him, "No we should wait, it's so much fun."  But in the end I caved and found out because this pregnancy has been sooo different.  I told him I wanted to find out and he said "I just want to make sure you knew what you wanted."  He's so good to me:).

So here is our baby girl at 18 weeks

Baby girl we love you!  You are so challenging in the womb and I'm anxious to see what your personality is like outside the womb.  At 6 months, I have managed to still need anti-nausea meds daily (I thought I was over the hump at 5 months and again, you proved me wrong, yet again:)).  I finally have gained 4 pounds and you are growing.  I feel you kick constantly!  You are a mover and a shaker, I have a feeling you take after your mamma:).  Your busy and you keep this mamma on her toes.  I have NEVER missed as much work as I have this year.  Thank you for spicing life up for me a bit:).
