It's a Girl!!

Say Hello to Lucy Renee Crest!!

The doctor measured everything and she is looking fantastic.  She is healthy and right on target for weight and size.  It was a fun visit.  It turns out her head is resting right on my bladder and her feet are up in my stomach.  Thus the indigestion that comes in waves and my sudden bathroom trips!  She is just the cutest little thing.  I love to look at her little nose and chin in the pictures.  

I think her lips look really cute sticking out a little!

If she was a boy the arrow would be pointing at something!

Picture

Several people have asked for pictures of what I look like.  I am really not that big yet.  In fact my Dr. says I am under weight.  At my last appointment she said "you don't look 17 weeks" she then felt my abdomen "but you sure feel it!"  I love my Dr. she cracks me up.  A week from today Dave and I go to find out if it is a boy or girl.  We are really excited!!  

Updates

Just an update to me and how I am feeling.  The morning sickness has gone away!!!!  It left at about 14 weeks and I am now 15 and loving life again.  Dave said today I have officially started to show.  I go back and forth everyday about whether or not I am showing.  Hopefully I will soon so I don't just look chubby anymore and people will recognize I am pregnant.  Next month I am going in to find out if it is a boy or girl.  Dave wants and thinks it is a girl.  I just don't know.  The odds of a girl are pretty good considering I only have sisters and have quiet a bit of sister-in-laws.  But we shall see!!

This week I am going to be packing like crazy because Saturday we move to our new apartment.  (We will need a two bedroom for obvious reasons) I know all the warnings about lifting too much will stress the baby so I made a deal with Dave.  I pack and he does any cleaning that involves a product more intense than windex.  He will also lift and move all the boxes while I get the keys from the office and unpack what he gets moved it.  Lots of people from church are coming to help so it should all go smoothly.  Plus the area we are moving to is really close to a lot of really good friends.  I am looking forward to seeing them more often and developing closer relationships.

Also probably one of the most exciting things is Dave has a new job.  Starting tomorrow he will be working for Highland Capitol.  They are an investment manager.  They are not located downtown so hopefully Dave won't be fighting too much traffic in the morning.  Plus they have really cool perks like gym memberships so Dave will be able to work out as much as he wants.  Also, the things I didn't like before go away meaning, less crazy hours, no more traveling, no more different client locations everyday!  It will be a consistent (although very hardworking) job!

We are so excited for all of the blessing Heavenly Father has given us recently.  We are truly blessed and are very thankful for them.  We love you all and hope everyone is as blessed and happy as we are!!

Why I have been a hermit.

So since Christmas I have been a hermit and feeling sick. You want to know why? Because I am pregnant! I don't know the sex of the baby yet but it is due September 3rd. Yes another September birthday! I am about 12 weeks along and going strong. This is an old picture but you can still see he/she in it. This picture is from when I was 7 weeks along, so he/she is a tiny and I mean tiny bit bigger now.

I go back to the doctors at the end of March to find out if it is a boy or girl. I am really excited Dave hopes it is a girl. My aunt says it will be a boy. I just hope it's healthy. So we will see. Take your guesses as to whether its a boy or girl!

New Years

We came back to Texas just in time for New Years. We had a couple of people over to watch the ball drop. We ordered pizzas play rockband for hours and about an hour before the ball dropped we put on some Brian Regean. We were either really tired because that was funniest I have ever seen him, or he just get better each time you watch. Either way it was a ton of fun.
