It's a...

We just found out this morning that we are having a little girl. Almost everyone we asked was absolutely certain it was a boy, so we were a bit surprised to hear we were having a baby girl. But we are THRILLED!! Now its time for the fun to begin...decorating a nursery, buying cute girl clothes and hair accessories...I can't wait! We have decided on the name Stella for our little one. Not after anyone or anything, we just heard the name one day and have loved it ever since. She doesn't have a middle name yet, but possibly Anne since that is my middle name. We will see what we come up with :)

I am also officially 20 weeks today. I can't believe I am halfway! So far, this pregnancy has flown by! And as of right now, I LOVE being pregnant!

Some things to note:

-We are feeling baby girl kick and bump more and more each day and it is the funnest feeling. She is most active bright and early in the morning, and I love to just lay in bed and feel her moving around.

-I haven't been feeling nauseas at all, other than the occasional moment or two.

-I have the biggest appetite I have ever had in my whole life and feel like I could eat everything in sight!!

-I am starting to get a bit of low back pain but nothing too major yet.

-I have been attending prenatal water aerobics. Let me tell you, it makes me feel so great after I'm done! Its quite a workout for a pregnant girl, but its fun to be with other women who are pregnant and share stories and have fun together!

-I am actually starting to look pregnant now, instead of just chunky. And its so fun when people ask when we are due and what we are having. I love bragging about baby already! ;)

-I am getting quite a bump! Here is a picture of me at week 20...

A lot of people say it looks like nothing, but it feels massive to me! :) And I'm proud of it!!

We went to Target today to buy baby's first gifts. I couldn't resist these adorable little tiny boots!

And Josh got her these cute bath time things!

Josh is going to be such an amazing dad. He loves to feel baby moving and gets so excited everytime I ask him to hold his hand to my tummy, even if its at 5 in the morning and I have to wak him up for it! He tells baby girl every day how much he loves her and can't wait to meet her. I know she already loves him too!

We can't wait to meet our little Stella!
