IT'S A GIRL!!!!

We had our ultrasound today and found out that we are having a beautiful baby girl! Our ultrasound tech was great and explained everything. It was so amazing! Baby was moving all over the place. She was sucking, punching, waving and kicking doing somersaults and she even fell asleep for a little bit. So cute! We could see all the fingers, toes, spine and the four chambers of the little heart beating. Everything looked perfect and is measuring right on.

The ultrasound tech thought she had John's nose! :)


Sweet little foot

It's Spring...or was!

Hmmm...where to start. I've been incredibly busy with graphic design projects which is a good thing and the excuse I'm using for not updating this more often. Not too much has been happening around here. We've just been busy with random stuff. It's currently snowing which is such a bummer after the past few days we've had. Welcome to Colorado! :)

John had the day off yesterday. He woke me up at 5:30 (I know...I was thinking the same thing). He made me get in the car (pj's and all), blindfolded me and took me to a little spot very close to our house to watch the sunrise. It was absolutely amazing! The spot was up on top of a hill so we could see forever. We had a great view of the mountains and couldn't have asked for a better day (It ended up being over 80 degrees). We then went home and had breakfast and took a nap. We took the beagles to the dog park and got some good exercise. We took them home and then we went and had ice cream at Cold Stone and went to a lake by our house and did some more walking. I finally had some energy and we definitely took advantage of it. It was a perfect day! What an amazing husband I have!

Baby is doing good and kicking and moving around like crazy. We've been able to feel it kicking (from the outside) for about 3 weeks now. It's such a bizarre and amazing feeling. We definitely have ourselves a soccer player or my mom thinks a boxer like my dad. I'm currently 19 weeks (19w5d). We have our ultrasound next Tuesday and find out the sex. Hopefully we don't have a modest baby because I'm dying to find out if it's a boy or girl. STAY TUNED!!!

To catch up...We got to hear the baby's heartbeat again at our 16 week appt. The heart rate was 178 and normal.
These pics were taken at 16 weeks (I know...I'm behind). I'll post more next week!

Second Trimester!

Hey all! Happy St. Patricks Day! Hope you all have a green beer for me! :)

I've been horrible at updating this thing and thought I should write a quick note. I'm currently at 15 weeks and in my second trimester. I'm feeling better and have a little more energy (some days). I'm still wearing my clothes but my jeans are getting pretty tight and usually end up unbuttoned by the end of the day :) I'm sure I'll have to take a shopping trip pretty soon!

We have our next Dr. appt next Tuesday and we'll get to hear the heartbeat again. We get to find out the sex of the baby at 20 weeks. I can't wait! I'm so excited to start planning a nursery and buying pink or blue stuff. Yay!

I came across this picture and thought I would share it. We had this photo morph done a couple of years ago with our friends Joel and Rebecca. You sit in a photo booth and it morphs your faces to see what your future child will look like. Ours actually turned out pretty cute and it kind of looks like John did when he was a baby. We'll see how accurate it is in a few months. :) Joel and Rebecca's didn't turn out as cute. Their morphed baby had crazy curly hair and buck teeth. Luckily their daughter Maggie turned out absolutely beautiful and certainly doesn't have buck teeth yet! :)


Hope you all are doing great!! Have a HAPPY EASTER!!!

Healthy Baby!

We got to hear the baby's heartbeat today!! The heart rate was 160 and we could hear the baby moving all over the place. It was amazing.! I am currently 12 weeks and almost done with with the first trimester. I'm FINALLY starting to feel much better. Not as much nausea and not quite as tired. I feel like I can actually function like a human being again.

Here's a pic of my belly at 12 weeks. It's coming along!







A friend of ours recently told us about the Chinese Gender Chart. We thought it would be fun to try it out and according to the chart we're having a girl!
(The horizontal rows represent the month of conception and the vertical rows represent the mother's age, by lining up the two rows you will get the result of the prediction for the baby. Pink is a girl and blue is a boy.)


Another wives tale I recently heard is if your baby's heart rate is over 140 it's a girl and if it's under 140 it's a boy. Our baby's heart rate today was 160 so this also says we're having a girl.
We'll see in about 8 weeks. We can't wait! You can vote for what you think baby Ainsworth will be on the margin of this page.

NEWS!!!!

It's official...WE'RE PREGNANT!!!! Yay!
I'm currently 10 weeks (10w3d) and everything is going well. We had our first ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. The baby has a strong heartbeat and everything is measuring on schedule. My due date is September 8th (my grandma's bday and two days before mine!!).
I haven't been feeling great but it's all worth it and I definitely feel blessed! I have my next dr's appt. in two weeks. We'll keep you all updated on here with what's going on with baby Ainsworth.
Love you all!


Here's the first pictures of our baby...
