it's a... it's a...

SECRET!

I'm 16 weeks now and Georgie's the size of large peach. I'm feeling a-ok. I really should not complain. The only thing going on is my back pain.. I'm having a lot of it lately compared to never having back pain in the past. SO I'm thinking it's due to my weight gain and growing belly. We'll see. I'm thinking of seeing a chiropractor soon.... if insurance will pay. :)

On Saturday at 10:45 a.m. we went to Baby's First Images in Naperville for the sneak peak.  Dave was very excited to find out. I was feeling good and kind of just had a lot on my mind.

Me.. all goo'ed up and ready to go.

We couldn't take any pictures of the ultrasound tv. We didn't spend the $15 for the DVD image cd as I knew we'd be getting more pictures of Georgie in 4 weeks at the 20 week appointment. Those will be equally as cute as Saturday's. :) 

So we got to see the baby's on the screen a lot. I still HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'M LOOKING AT when I'm watching the tv. I look at the tv and I feel like Rachel Green, from that episode of Friends, when the doctor points out the baby and Ross sees it but Rachel doesn't. Dave COULD EASILY see Georgie's head, legs, and body. I on the other hand couldn't really see the baby. There were certain parts during our session that I could see Georgie but other parts I couldn't see. Oh well.

Dave & I found out the sex of the baby. I wasn't going to find out but ultimately, curiosity killed the cat. So I was excited to find out and Dave was so happy to a.) see the baby and b.) finally feel like he can start envisioning the future with Georgie. For me, when I was sitting there the whole thing was very surreal. I was really happy to be at peace with whether it was a boy or girl. I always wanted a girl... I love doing girl's hair, painting nails, and talking! So naturally... a girl would satisfy all that. Right? :) :) I also know I would really want a boy.. because a.) my nephew, Mason and our son would be 9 months apart.. and b.) Dave always wanted a boy to bond with... so I know seeing Dave and a son would be an endearing sight :)

So I'm at peace and am SOO happy about our future. Today I went shopping for fabric for Georgie's 1st quilt. :) It'll be really really cute. 50 x76 lap sized. I decided to go with a bright bright quilt. There are adorable, whimsical fabrics in both girl colors and boy colors... but I ultimately envisioned a quilt I could lay on the floor and the baby could really let his/her imagination go crazy. So I picked 10 fabrics of bright bold colors.. and the backing of the quilt.. I tried to find like a road map type of a quilt. So the baby could learn the colors, shapes, animals, and common toys like dolls/teddy bears/ trucks/ animals/ trains/ planes/ cars.. etc.  I found this really cute bright blue fabric with all sorts of baby toys on it :) It'll turn out cute.

I'll be done with it mid- December. I'm in a 3 part quilting class right now to learn 'french braid, stained glass' quilts. :) Pix to come....

Here are some pix of the bump.
