This one is from 23 weeks, my friend Rachel is 24 weeks, due exactly 1 week before me. We're both having girls and yes, in this picture I look huge. Let's blame it on the angle :-)

A Few More Pictures
Just wanted to post a couple more pictures from the ultrasound I had done on 9/2.
In this one, she's sucking her thumb:
Here she is working out her legs by pressing on me:
This one is supposedly her right foot, but I'm pretty sure it's the bottom view of her left foot, either way, it's definitely a foot:
And finally, for good measure, here's a picture of my fellas in the morning, neither wants their picture taken:
I'll work on getting some recent belly pictures up next.

Hiccups
This morning was a very exciting one for me... I woke up early (6:30, that's very early for me) and while I was lying in bed, my little girl had the hiccups! They were so strong that my belly would move in and out with each one. Such an amazing feeling.
I just got back from my 5 month check-up. The Dr. said all the measurements from the ultrasound looked great and her heartbeat was a normal and strong 155. I put on a pound a week this month which is totally normal. I'll be 22 weeks on Saturday.

5 Months
Tomorrow marks the 5 month mark. On one hand, I can't believe how quickly 5 months has passed, on the other hand, has it really only been 5 months?
Saturday's baby shopping day was successful. We picked out a ton of stuff for our registries, including the furniture we're going to get which I love! We also decided on the room decor and bedding, but we're not sharing that until the finished product is ready to be unveiled.
We also couldn't help but buy a whole bunch of cute clothes at the outlet.. Baby Gap, Gymboree, Carter's, it was hard to resist. We already have her first Easter dress.
Last night I was laying in bed reading and felt the baby move, a strong kick or jab. I felt it again so I looked down and I could actually see my belly popping out where she was hitting me. It was so cool! Of course by the time I called Damon in, she stopped the big jabs. He was able to feel her moving though, just not see it.
The next few weeks are pretty busy (2 weddings, Damon is going skydiving and a trip to Boston for me). Before I know it, I'll be thinking about the Thanksgiving menu. After that it's less than 2 months until baby girl's arrival. I'm so excited to meet her!

Supporting the team
In honor of kickoff weekend, it's NFL day at the office. Here's a picture of baby girl and me supporting our team of choice, the Patriots of course. And yes... those are teeny tiny little Patriots booties. Can't you just picture her in a little denim dress with these cute little booties on? Speaking of cute little things, let the shopping commence!
I've got a full Saturday planned with stops at Buy Buy Baby, Babies r Us, Land of Nod, Cribs to College and an outlet mall (time for maternity clothes). My sweet husband is braving it through all of this.
21 weeks tomorrow! 134 days to go, I can't believe it!

IT'S A GIRL!!!
We are excited to announce that baby Mooren is definitely a girl.
My ultrasound on September 2nd was amazing. The last time we saw the baby was at the first appointment in June and even though I'm getting bigger and can feel her (I love that we know she's a she/her now instead of an it or just baby), anyways, even though I know she's getting bigger, to actually see her on the screen was incredibly cool.
We saw her cute little hands and feet, the 4 chambers of her heart, her brain, limbs and face. I couldn't tell what everything was, but to have 45 minutes of just seeing the baby was a great start to a long weekend.
We didn't want the ultrasound technician to tell us in the appointment what the sex was, so she printed out a picture and put the gender on it and stuck it in an envelope for us. After the appointment we went across the street to Millennium Park and went and stood near the bean. Damon let me open it up and we were both shocked that it said girl. So many people guessed boy that I think we both just assumed it was a boy.
We're incredibly thrilled that our baby girl will be joining us in about 4 or so months and I, for one, am super excited to go shopping for her.
Here's a picture of our sweet little girl at 20 weeks, she's waving at us.
