Kicking

About two days ago, Soley kicked for the first time! I was not sure if I was right, so I called my friend Sherri who's little boy is about to turn 1 and asked her. She said it sounds just like it. Since then she has kicked many times each day. She is sitting very low, and the kicks are not that strong but last night Jon was able to feel her for the first time. Usually they are not strong enough and he can't feel anything, but last night I had him run over and feel because she was kicking pretty strong! He was able to feel 2 of them! I have to admit it freaked me out a little bit, but it is nice to be able to feel something so that you know she is doing all right in there.

Name

We have officially decided on a name...

Soley Jonae Harbridge

(Sole-e) (Jon-a)

We can't imagine her as anything else. We have been calling her that for about a week now, and decided last week that we would be going with it. We wanted to go with a name that was different and that you do not hear often. We had never heard this name before, it was actually a name my mom made up off of another name she had read. I say she is the only one with this name in the world, Jon thinks there is probably someone out there with it. All our family and friends have started calling her Soley, we just love it!

We found this at an outlet this weekend, on sale. It is actually a diaper bag, it has a pink changing pad inside! HOW CUTE!!!

THANKS, MOM!

This is all the new "things" that we have got the past few days! Girl stuff is so cute!!!

It's a GIRL!!!

We went to the doctor on Friday, and much to our surprise we found out we are having a girl! I couldn't be more excited, and Jon is super happy too! We also were able to see every little part of her body and know that everything looked perfect and was in working order. She weighs about 10 ounces, she is so tiny! Below are all the ultrasound pictures. We are still working on a name but should know soon.

Picture #1 (TOP) - This is the most adorable, perfect foot you will ever see :) The doctor told us to imagine looking through a glass table and her foot is pressed against it. Where it is bright white that is bone. You can see her foot bone and 5 toes :)

Picture # 2- (Middle)This is her stomach and bladder, we think???

Picture # 3 (Bottom) This is her little private parts, there are three little lines that let us know she is a GIRL! Doctor said it is very obvious!

Picture #1 (Top)- You can see her knees are bent and the bright white is her shin bones and her feet and toes.

Picture #2 ( Middle)- To the right is her head, and you can see her hand in the picture. You can see four fingers and her thumb is hiding behind her head. During the ultra sound the doctor actually rolled the ultrasound around my belly and we could see her thumb hiding behind her head.

Picture #3 (bottom)- This is a profile shot, you can see her head on the right, and she is making a fist by her chin.

These above are labeled on the picture for you, good luck making them out :)

We will go back for another ultrasound in 6 weeks. There was one thing with her heart that they were not able to see because of her position. We were actually able to see her heart beating and the four chambers. She was not able to see in detail where the blood flows into and out of the heart. She said not to worry :)

Heart Beat

We went to the doctor last Wednesday and Jon and I were able to see our baby's heart beating.  It is amazing how God has designed everything.  We will not be going back to the doctor until the day before Thanksgiving. From here on out we will be going every four weeks until we get close to the delivery date.

I have been begging Jon to let me buy something since we found out we were pregnant.  He finally broke today and gave in.  I have been looking for some type of lovey for the baby to have to sleep with.  I found these today at a christian bookstore, they are so cute!  They have a scripture on them, it's hard to see it in the pictures but it says:

"Your love O LORD reaches to the heavens."  Psalm 36:5 

Of course we will not find out the sex until Jan 20th. (18 weeks)  so I had to buy two!  

Second Doctor visit

So you can finally see something!   It's crazy how one week makes a huge difference.  In the picture below you can see the baby's sac, and inside that there is another circle that is the baby!  Yes... just one baby :)

Our First Trip to the doctor

Our doctor did an ultrasound to try and find out where we were in our pregnancy.  She was guessing 4 & 1/2 weeks, that was on 10/12/09. (based on the dot that I can't see, maybe you can)  I have another appointment tomorrow, hopefully she will be able to see something so that we can really know how far along we are.

Is there a such thing as a false positive?

This week started out like most of my work weeks, but little did I know it was about to be very different.  I didn't plan on being pregnant this week, but I had three different people ask me "Are you pregnant?"   So I thought, maybe I should take a test.

Occasion 1:  I forgot about a Little Techie appointment that I had with a friend of mine. She asked me "are you pregnant?"  I said, "no why?"  She then proceeded to say that when she was pregnant with her daughter she was always forgetting things.  I told her no way.

Occasion 2:  We were at our bible study and I was walking up the stairs and I said out loud, "my jeans feel tighter."  A friend of mine smiled, and said, "are you pregnant?"  I told her no way.

Occasion 3:  We were out to dinner with Jon's parents and the waiter brought out some bread, I asked Steve if they could keep it on there side of the table because the smell was making me sick.  Karen then asked me, "are you pregnant?"  I laughed and said no way!

Karen was making me my birthday dinner that same night, so I snuck up stairs and took a pregnancy test... 

So.... I guess what I am getting at.... THERE ARE NO FALSE POSITIVES
