We found out the gender of our baby this week! Up until now, we’ve been using he and she interchangeably {baby most certainly does not want to be called “it”}. I am so excited to know the gender of the baby! We’ve sworn the few family members that know to secrecy until we tell the whole family… so no gender reveals here yet! Hopefully I can keep from slipping for a few weeks. They did say the baby looks healthy, has a great spine and has a strong heartbeat (160)! We actually did two ultrasounds – one for just Michael and me to find out the gender, then one with some immediate family members so they could share in the experience. It was so neat seeing their joy at the ultrasound! Michael got to announce the gender to them – we couldn’t be more excited! The baby is sitting low and RIGHT by my bladder, so that definitely explains my frequent bathroom visits.

SYMPTOMS: Fatigue {but more energy than first trimester FOR SURE}, growing belly, pregnancy brain, stinky gas
MILESTONES: We know the genderrrrrr! I can’t wait to share the news with family!
BABY IS THE SIZE OF AN avocado {4.5” from head to rump}.

Vacation Bible School was fantastic! It was my first official year as director and went so well. I am continually reminded of how blessed I really am!

{FOR MOMMY} I am….
LOVING looking in the mirror… okay, I realize how self-centered that sounds. But I don’t feel super huge yet… until I see myself in the mirror or in pictures and can tell that my belly really is growing!
FEELING content and thankful!
ANTICIPATING feeling baby move… I should be able to feel some movement any day now!
SAVORING this FUN second trimester!
BOY OR GIRL? Still not telling! 😉

Thanks for following along on our pregnancy journey! 16 weeks down, 23 weeks to go {give or take a few weeks}.  We would love to have your prayers over the health and development of our little peanut! Check out all of our pregnancy updates and follow Borrowed Blessings at the top of the page.
