IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

we finally had our 18 week appointment this morning.
we had all the major testing done on our baby & momma & everything looks perfect.

as you can see, we found out that baby fusch is a precious little girl! ;o)
YIPPPPPEEEEE!!!
we are extremely excited & feel very blessed to be having a healthy baby girl as our first child.
words cannot describe the emotions we felt during this visit.
it was different than any other, of course, especially since she is getting bigger & bigger.
the doc went over the entire body, bones, heart, brain, kidneys, etc to double check that all was developing the way it should.
it was truly amazing seeing so much on this tiny baby.

up until this point, i have not really felt pregnant to be honest.
i never really had many symptoms so finding out the sex & seeing so much of the baby today was absolutely surreal.
i simply have a hard time understanding how anyone can witness what i saw today & not believe in our God & His amazing creation.
it brings tears to my eyes every time i think about our baby & that i really do have a tiny human growing inside of me-
AND i am beyond grateful for this journey that blake & i have been chosen to take together.

SOME BABY FUSCH FACTS:
she weighs about 9 ounces right now & is about the size of a sweet potato.
her heart beat was 150 bpm.
she was VERY active- doing flips & kicking my stomach although i haven't felt that yet but should any day!

below are a few pics from today's visit at the doctor.




isn't she lovely?!

baby news

we visited the doc this morning.
it was a quick appointment.
we listened for the heartbeat. found it right way.
strong & loud.
it was beating 150 bpm.
dr. smith says everything looks completely normal at this point.
yay!

we will find out the sex on october 15th.
we can't wait to see if we will be having a sweet baby girl or boy.
clearly, by the votes on the right side of this blog, we are having a boy.
which i am sure is very accurate.
soon enough we will know!

update on my VERY pregnant sister-
meredith's due date is this saturday so needless to say she is READY.
and miserable.
and begging for baby jett to come out.
we had three friends who were due either the same day as her or soon after.
they have ALL had their babies now.
all at home snuggling with their newborns.
not meredith. yet.
she is a bit envious i would say. ;o)

she is headed to the doctor as we speak to see if she has made any progress.
she has been having contractions for three weeks now but last night they really intensified.
we are hoping that means she will at least be dilated some & maybe we will see baby in the next couple days!

please keep meredith, patrick & baby jett in your prayers over the next week.

happy hump day!!
