We went into Fetal Fotos for our 3D ultrasound tonight, and our lovely daughter was not in the mood to have her picture taken. She had her feet up against her forehead and she was holding her umbilical cord in front of her face most of the time, so we didn't get any 3D shots. We go back next Friday to try again.
Even though she was hiding, she was moving around a lot! She is a little wiggle worm. She even kicked so hard once that the doctor said she's never felt a kick that hard before! She's a feisty one!
We do have a confirmation that she is a girl! She even has hair, so that must be from Jerod because I was a baldy when I was born. The doctor also said that she has really long fingers and toes, which both Jerod and I also have. She was sucking her thumb for a bit, but for the most part she was playing with her feet and her umbilical cord.
We are hoping to have pictures and a video of our little munchkin after next Friday's appointment!
Latest update on cravings...I can't get enough ice. I love chewing on ice chips! I even drove through Sonic the other day just to get a large cup of ice (they charged me 10 cents!).

25 weeks down...15 to go!
I had my 25 week appointment today and everything is looking great. I have to admit that it was pretty tough to hear that the baby now weighs 1.5 pounds...and I've gained 18. Yikes!
We are getting the 4D ultrasound taken at the end of this month, and we're so excited to see her again! My friend Morgan let me borrow a fetal sounds monitor, so we've been able to listen to her moving around and can even find the heartbeat if we are patient and listen carefully.
We've decided on a name, but we're keeping it top secret! Something has to be a surprise for all of you, right? :)
Most recent cravings: PINEAPPLE!! I've gotten over chicken nuggets and peanut butter (not together), and luckily moved onto healthier things.
I see the doctor again in 4 weeks, and then I start seeing her every 2 weeks until September when I'll start seeing her every week. We start our childbirth prep classes in August and I've signed up for prenatal yoga classes as well. I've been doing my yoga/pilates dvd's at home, but decided it would be more fun to have some pregnant companions to work out with.
Our next update will be in a few weeks when I post the 4D pictures. We'll be about 27 weeks when we get them taken, which is when the ultrasound tech said is perfect because they have a lot of distinct features, but they aren't all "squished" looking yet. :)

The nursery!
Here is a picture of our nursery set. It is the Kimberly Grant "Farm Yard" and looks so cute in our dark cherry sleigh crib that Jerod put together recently. He was so proud of himself that it only took an hour to assemble. :)
When I found out we are having a girl I knew that I didn't want a "girly" nursery. I fell in love with the little farm animals and the theme "Dream, Dance, Laugh" that is on the wall art and quilt.
