4 month update!

Wow...we are now 4 months pregnant! According to a pregnancy website that sends us updates our little "Mango" is the size of an avocado! The site also said that "Mango" can now hear us so I guess we should start watching what we say!!! I should be able to feel "Mango" kicking sometime between now and the next 3 weeks. How exciting!

Baby Furniture

My mom took us shopping for baby furniture today and we got the cutest set! We got a nice gender neutral set since we don't know the sex of "Mango" yet. We got a beautiful crib and changing table/dresser. We should get it in about 6 weeks! We are sooo excited, we can hardly wait. We are so thankful for my parent's generosity! We will post pictures soon!

As for the sex of "Mango" we should be able to find out fairly soon! We are planning on having the doctor put the picture in an envelope, without telling us, and we are going to wrap it up and put it under the Christmas tree and open it Christmas morning! Can you think of a better Christmas present? Our next appointment is the day before Thanksgiving...I will update you all after the appointment!

Hearing the heart beat for the first time!

Nolan and I went to the OBGYN last week for a 13 week check up and we got to hear baby "Mango's" heart beat for the first time. It was amazing to hear it's little heart beating so fast. Nolan said, "I can't believe you can hear the baby, sounds like he was cuttin' the rug...doing a little dance or aerobics!"

I am very glad to be out of my first trimester! I feel like this is going so fast! The evening sickness is pretty much gone, thank goodness! I have a little bit more energy and my sense of smell has lessened so I can now cook at home again. I feel great, almost like this is too easy! I'm really enjoying this and I am grateful that I feel so good.
