Baby Galle Is A......

GIRL! So, Chris was right all along and I was wrong. We went to the doctor this morning and, after several minutes of moving around, she finally showed us the goods (or lack thereof)! As you can see above, we can clearly see her lips, nose, spine and heart. Everything seems to be working as it should and she now weighs a whopping 10 ounces!

Next up is picking a name. Since we decided to find out the sex of the baby and share with everyone, we might keep her name to ourselves once we make a decision so that we have a surprise for everybody in August! To be continued......

Baby Galle Goes on Vacation

Baby Galle has made its first trip to the Hill Country! Chris and I decided to take an early anniversary trip because I may not be able to go anywhere on our actual anniversary in July! So we spent Wednesday-Sunday in Bandera, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg. In addition to seeing some of the most beautiful views in Texas, we shopped, toured the National Museum of the Pacific War, and ate one of the top 3 burgers in Texas at Alamo Springs Cafe (it's the one on the cover of Texas Monthly...and it's yummy!)!

As for baby news, I can now feel Baby Galle moving around on a regular basis and it's the weirdest, coolest thing I've ever felt! At this point, it is starting to taste what I eat...so, based on our weekend in the Hill Country, it will have a taste for burgers, salad, chocolate-covered Twinkies, and peach bread pudding! Next Tuesday is the big day so we look forward to letting you know if it's a boy or a girl!

Nursery After

Boy or Girl?

I know it's been a month or so since I've updated this so there's lots to tell you. To start, I am now 16 weeks and 2 days pregnant....only 24 weeks til Baby Galle makes it's debut!

We went to the doctor today and were able to hear the heartbeat, which was 145. According to old wives' tales, that would mean we're having a girl....but who knows? Either way, it's a really amazing experience to be able to hear our baby's heart beating while it's growing inside of me. My gut still says boy...and the mystery will be solved on Tuesday, March 30th at 10AM! She also told us that I would probably start to feel the baby move any time now.

In other news, Chris has finished painting the nursery, as you can see from the pictures above. He did an excellent job and is very happy to be done! And, as soon as March 30th gets here, we'll continue with the decorating!

I'm feeling great....I can finally keep my eyes open past 9:00 and I'm not exhausted all of the time....and I'm always hungry (but I'm not complaining about that!)! Depending on what I'm wearing, you can see the beginning of a bump and I finally had to get some new work pants at the maternity store today! I'll post pictures when I begin to show more. I'm going to try to update more often.....so stay tuned!
