Baby Stevens' Gender

Chris and I went to the ultrasound appointment, today. We decided a long time ago that we wanted to find out the gender of our unborn baby, mostly to make shopping easier, but also the curiosity thing. Plus, his sister was DYING to know!

Anyway, the ultrasound technician was so sweet. She told us everything she was looking at, even when we were totally clueless about what we were seeing. She let us know how many pictures she was going to take and the whole deal.

The first thing we looked at was the baby's profile.



We then looked at the baby's face. It's a little creepy, but it's so skeletal just because there is very little fat on the baby, right now.


We looked at the head, next. Then she measured the head (numerous times)

After the head, we looked at the spine and stomach, the heart, kidneys, and some other things. Mostly to make sure placement is right and that everything is there.

Then we looked at the legs and feet. This is a foot.


Next were the arms and hands. Here is a hand (the thumb is up, the fingers spread out below it).


Lastly, we found out what we're having!

Because it's small, I'll tell you. It says, "I'm a GIRL!"

We're thinking of names, now. We've got Cadence, so far. I'll keep you updated!

It's been a while!

Hello, again, everyone!

I've decided to get off my duff and blog again. Just been busy doing everything but this!

So a quick update...

My parents came out in February and we spent a nice 3-day weekend with them. We even went to Ocean Shores (a first for most of us, I think!). Unfortunately, Chris had to work, so we decided we should go anyway.





Arianne is helping my dad "launch" the kite

Since then, we've been just kind of existing! We take walks as a family as often as possible. We're also in great anticipation of finding out about the baby's sex! (For those who don't know already, I'm pregnant. Expecting the baby around August 21)

Last Friday, Arianne's school hosted the Reptile Man. That was fun! We all went, and took the neighbor boy, too.









Then on Saturday, I took Arianne to a promo deal at Premier Martial Arts. She got to break a board! She was so proud of herself! She broke hers in three pieces, then had the instructors sign the pieces.









We don't have any big plans for the near future, but I'll try to keep up on this better! God bless you all!

Sorry so late!

Ah! It's been too long! I'm sorry to all of my followers. I haven't been too good at keeping up with this blog! Hopefully I'll get better!

This is gonna be short. We're pregnant! 9 weeks, today. I'm in the process of trying to get a doctor pinned down. Hmmm. Interesting problem. Most "family practitioners" don't do prenatal care. I really don't want to pay for a specialist, but I might have to go that route. GRRR!!! Or maybe I'll just call a couple of friends over when I think it's time, we can have some wine and just go for it! Kidding!

That's it for now. I will post again soon (with some pictures). Take care!
