20 Weeks

20 weeks and my first New Year’s Eve without alcohol. :) It is well worth it though. Shim is growing rapidly and the movements are getting stronger. And when you look at my stomach while Shim is moving you can see it go up and down. It is amazing! It is such a great feeling to experience the baby’s movements. Below are some pictures of the puppies and I making the best of New Year’s Eve. As you can see, the belly just keeps growing!

It's a...

...false alarm. We went to our doctor’s appointment yesterday quite excited to find out if Shim is a “she” or a “him” and to our disappointment, our doctor was not in so they did not do an ultrasound. :( We have two appointments scheduled in January. One is for our regular monthly checkup, which is on Thursday, January 15th, and the other is for our second level ultrasound, which is on Wednesday, January 7th. We are not sure at which appointment we will find out the sex of the baby but as soon as we know, we will be sure to let all of you know. I did get to hear the baby’s heartbeat though. It sounds so cute! Sorry for the disappointment and we will keep you posted!
