It's a GIRL!!!

That's right!  We are having a little baby girl!  We are also very happy to report that everything looks perfect.  Nothing of concern what so ever.  This baby was all over the place during the ultra sound.  Much more active then Emma was during hers.  I have thought for the past week that I can feel her every so often, but it hasn't been consistent enough for me to know for sure.  A lot of the ultra sound pictures are a little on the blurry side since she was moving so much, but here SHE is!!

16 Weeks

It is hard to believe I am already at the 16 week mark!  I am doing well and feeling great.  I have wondered a couple of times if I have actually felt the baby move, but it isn't consistent enough for me to be sure.  I had my ob appointment yesterday and everything looks great.  The baby's heart rate was a strong 150 beats per minute.  We go back in two weeks (March21) for our ultra sound and hopefully we will find out if this is a little boy or girl!
Things have been on the busy side around here lately.  On Tuesday, we officially listed our house for sale!  I have no idea where we are going when it sales, but we know we need to be closer into town.  We have already had one offer and two other people look at it, so we will see.  It has been very interesting never knowing when someone is going to want to see it.   That phone call comes in and it is a mad dash to pick up toys, gather up Emma and myself, put the puppies away, and out the door we go!  It is kind of weird to think about strangers walking through your house talking about it and judging it.  Hopefully it sales quickly!
I also am getting ready to leave next week to go to a photography workshop in California.  It is in Newport Beach, and I am super excited for the workshop.  On the other hand, I am not so excited about leaving Emma, but I know she will be just fine.
It is going to be a busy week filled with a 3 photo sessions, packing, and keeping this house ready for visitors.  I probably won't be back with a blog update until I get back from my trip.  Hope everyone has a great week!!
