19 week update

Our Baby Girl has been very active, and I've been feeling strong kicks since 17 weeks. Now I feel her frequently, at least several times per hour. Matt wasn't sure he felt anything from the outside, but this past Sunday when we were out to breakfast he felt two unmistakable kicks. It is so exciting to finally feel her.

Two days after we found out that we are expecting a girl, we made the trip to Syracuse for a wedding. We decided to wait and tell Matt's family (aside from Amy) in person. I wrapped up a little gift for Ellen to open to reveal our little one's sex. Ellen and Sarah put together two huge gift bags, one for a boy and one for a girl, for us to open after the reveal. It was fun to watch and Ellen's reaction was priceless. Needless to say, everyone is excited to be expecting a granddaughter and niece! It was a really fun night and a great memory.


 What Ellen saw when she opened the box.....
 Saturday night we went to Beth and Bryan's wedding. I had to pose by the LOVE ice scupture for our 19 week belly picture. My belly bump is definitely still small, but growing.
 No post about a trip to Syracuse is complete without a picture of Miss Ella. Here she is out to breakfast sporting an outfit from Aunt Hannah. She is so much fun to be around and loved showing off her new skills, standing without assistance and clapping, for us this weekend. We love her to pieces.
