Baby Smith is 16 weeks :)

Baby Smith turns 16 weeks and goes to school! 

It is finally back to school time for me (and baby Smith).  I have a feeling that this little one is going to be very advanced.  Now that the baby's ears have developed and can recognize sound, "she'll" be able to listen to all of my reading and writing lessons and hopefully will be reading and writing out of the womb J

Other exciting happenings...
Garrett and I went to our four month appointment today.  Baby Smith is doing great, we didn’t get to have an ultrasound at this appointment, but we were able to hear the heartbeat.  This little one is quite active; it took the doctor several attempts to find the heartbeat because of all of the movement.  I've also been feeling little flutters/bubbles lately, which is an amazing feeling.  I can’t wait to feel kicks!

And..

We were also able to set our gender ultrasound appointment, which we're very excited about.  Baby Smith will officially be a baby girl or boy on September 29^th….just two weeks away. It’s going to be a long two weeks.  

We've been putting off shopping for baby stuff until we know gender, so I'm excited to start purchasing all of the cute things I'm finding during my "window shopping" trips.

A bump along the way…

I have made it to the 2nd trimester J  Which means no more morning/afternoon sickness.

Now that I am 14 weeks, Garrett has made a few observations – which I will only be taking as  compliments J

1.    My butt has gotten bigger

2.    He can feel my belly when he hugs me.

So, I guess both Baby Smith and I are growing!  Here’s an outside picture of Baby Smith.
