Baby Baby!

We had our 16 week appointment last Thursday and all seems well with Baby Y. We got to hear the heartbeat again and it was a solid 140 bpm, right in the middle of what they consider normal. We could hear him/her a lot easier this time because he/she has grown so much in just 4 weeks! Thank goodness they let you listen to that heartbeat each time or I don't think I'd believe I am actually pregnant :) I don't look pregnant (yet) nor feel pregnant so it's kind of surreal to hear that little "thump thump thump" and be reaffirmed that there is definitely a baby in there. My midwife asked if we wanted a 20 week ultrasound, which was music to my ears! I emphatically said "Yes!" and we are scheduled for August 28th! I cannot wait to find out if Baby Y is a little Brandon or a little Brooke. While my sister was here, we bought some ADORABLE baby outfits. Here are some that she bought. Can you tell I think it's a girl? At last count, the baby's closet has 10 girl clothing items and 2 boy items! I guess that means I'll just have to shop a little more if we find out it's a boy :)

We're having a baby!!

This is not new information to us...but we've been patiently waiting for the time when we can feel safe letting the whole world know that we are going to be parents! We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time yesterday and it was one of the most awesome sounds I've ever heard. So amazing that something so tiny can make such a big sound :) Baby Y is due January 17 and we can't wait for him/her to arrive. Hopefully this blog can serve as our little baby diary to keep family and friends informed on the inevitable huge changes that await us over the next 6 months. Check back often to find out all the new details going on in the Yoder household :)
