Big Baby!

Baby girl was much more cooperative at our follow-up ultrasound on Tuesday. The tech was able to get all of the measurements and let us know that all is well with Baby Lee. She is growing like crazy and is currently in the 70th percentile. She weighs 1 lb 8 oz now. Sean and I were happy to see her toes wiggling and heart pumping. I was just a little bit thrown off when our doctor asked us which one of us was a 10 lb baby. Yikes!

I am still feeling great. My belly is definitely showing. My students are noticing more and more and now are giving me name suggestions. Some of the interesting picks so far: Cinnamon and Rainbow. Other than that, I am just trying to stay healthy and keep my distance from all those germy middle-schoolers.

Here are Baby Lee's latest pics (and, yes, I did ask them to check one more time to make sure she is, in fact, a she).

Hand in mouth:

I think she has Sean's nose:

It's a GIRL!!!!!

We finally had our big ultrasound last Thursday, Sept. 24th. We were exactly 20 weeks (the halfway point). Both of us were very anxious to find out what Baby Lee is and luckily we had a very nice ultrasound tech who told us as soon as we got started. We both had a feeling it was a girl and we were right! The little lady was moving and shaking all around. She was such a wiggle worm that we have to go back in two weeks for another ultrasound so they can finish getting all of the measurements.

I have been feeling lots of kicks this past week, especially in the evening. That seems to be play time. Here is a pic of me at 20 1/2 weeks:

For all of you visual learners, Baby Girl Lee is the length of a banana this week.

More posts to come, including some ultrasound pics. In the mean time, I am trying resist going out and buying all of the adorably cute girl stuff that I see everywhere I go.

Dancing feet!

There is a baby dancing in my belly! I've been feeling movement every once in a while for about a week now. Today, Sean got to feel the little peanut too! So exciting!

18 weeks- We have a bump!

This week signified the start of school and the beginning of the bump! It kind of popped out all of a sudden. I thought I would be good for a few weeks with my pre-preggo school clothes, but no such luck. Luckily it has been warm this week, so comfy summer dresses are doing the job. I guess I have a good excuse to go shopping now. :-)

Here is a new pic. We are officially 18 weeks now and 2 weeks away from finding out Baby Lee's gender. Keep in mind that this picture was taken in the evening (so the bump is bigger), but it is still pretty noticeable during the day now too.

We are all well here in the Lee household. Mac and I are getting used to the new schedule. He misses me when I am gone all day (and, of course, so does Sean). We are loving life and feel lucky to be where we are.

Happy Anniversary!

Today we celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary. We had a delicious dinner at Davis Street Tavern. We celebrated a day early so Sean could recover from our big dinner before he runs the Hood to Coast on Friday. It was lovely and we are stuffed! The restaurant even gave us free champagne. Lucky Sean got to have TWO glasses (after I had a celebratory sip). Four years and we are feeling so lucky to be where we are in life!

16 weeks- I'm growing an avocado

Here I am at 16 weeks (almost 4 months for all of you non-preggos who still think in months like normal people). We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and everything is well. Nothing exciting to report. We are counting down until our big ultrasound next month to see if we will be joining Team Pink or Team Blue. I am not being very patient though. I want to know now! :-)

Our little peanut is now the size of an avocado. Mmmm...I love avocados.

15 weeks

Per requests, I will attempt to put up weekly belly pics. This was taken a couple of days ago at 15 weeks. It's not so much a belly bump as it is a belly pooch. :-)

This week our little one is the size of an apple. Here is a comparison for all you visual people:
