Our Growing Girl

This week we had our 20 week ultrasound, which was super exciting and felt like another milestone we can add to the board. We are thrilled to have made it this far, and everyday I feel so blessed to be carrying this little girl. Addyson is 8 oz. (as of Monday) which is exciting, although that is still not very big. She is an active little thing as well as quite stubborn. When we first started the ultrasound and the Ultrasound tech wanted to double check to make sure she was a girl Addyson had her hands covering her private parts (apparently she is modest as well). Once she moved her hands it was verified that she is definitely a girl. Next we tried to get a look at her face...well her hands moved up there and she kept her face covered for the first half of the ultrasound.  She is a silly baby but eventually we saw everything we needed to and wanted to. We saw her kicking her legs and waving her arms and opening and closing her mouth. It was so surreal and amazing to know that in 4 more months she will be in our home and we will have a sweet baby in our home! Counting our blessings everyday...
The best picture of our little girl. She wouldn't give us a full shot of her face but we'll take it!

It's A Girl!!!


This past Tuesday we finally went to the long awaited doctors appointment where we got to find out our baby's gender. We didn't really have a preference because we feel there are great things that come with having both a boy or a girl, and we have waited for so long just to have a baby that we really just want a heathy baby. Before we went I made sure I drank something with a lot of sugar so the baby would move, and boy did it work! The baby was waving her arms and kicking her feet which made the ultrasound tech happy as she worked to get a good imagine. After a few minutes she was finally able to confirm about 90% that we are expecting a baby girl! We are so thrilled to have a little princess in our home. Her name will be Addyson Mae Hill, and we can not wait for the arrival of our sweet baby girl!
