It's a....

Baby!

We had the ultrasound last week.  Matthew now knows whether we're having a girl or a boy, but besides the ultrasound technician, no one else is going to find out before me (except probably the doctor/nurse during delivery).  The first few days after Matthew knew I really wanted to know, too, but I made myself wait to ask him and now I'm back to not really wanting to know until the big day.

That being said, we don't have names completely picked out, so we might be that couple on the news a year from now that still hasn't named their baby.  Just kidding, we have narrowed it down to a few names for either gender, so we most likely will decide prior to leaving the hospital.

Everything is going great!  I still don't feel much different except for a congested nose every morning (I've decided I only get the weird pregnancy symptoms).  The baby measured about three days bigger than typical during the ultrasound, which wasn't a huge surprise to me.  This past week it is moving around a lot more, confirming my suspicion that it will be a very active little one.

With the holidays and a new nephew providing a lot of excitement over the past month, it's hard to believe we're less than four months away from becoming a larger family.  I spent some time tonight planning things we need to do before the arrival and feel pretty good about where we are now.  I know the time will go fast!

Isn't it the most adorable thing you've ever seen?
