Boy or Girl?!?!?!

We don't know. Unfortunately, the sonogram machines in the rooms are not as big and sophisticated as the ones down in radiology so we have to wait until January to find out. I did get to see the baby's heartbeat and her little fist was up in the air, she was twitching a lot. She's so much bigger than she was a month ago. Her chest has widened out and she has distinguishable elbows and finger joints now. Her head is bigger, and you can really see where her eyes and nose are. She was laying on her head and looked quite cozy in there. Her heart rate was 156 today. It was nice to see the baby because I STILL don't feel pregnant sometimes. I'm 4 months along already!!! On my way to the doctors today and all day yesterday I was imagining them telling me there wasn't a heartbeat anymore... not fun. I just haven't gained any weight, I'm still in my normal clothes. This pregnancy is nothing like my last 2. I was starving ALL THE TIME with Tristan and had to wear maternity clothes about now. With Noah I didn't pop out until 5 months, but that's because he was the first baby and he was tiny, only 6lbs 14ozs when he came out. Apparently they get bigger and bigger the more you have haha.

Well to meit really sounds like your having a girl ...although I did not have the no weight gain symptom for either of my girls,haha!

The heartbeat though sound like a girl according to what I've heard. Ava & Ember's were always in the 150's too. You'll be finding out what your having right around when Katie is having her baby :)

Are you feeling movements from the baby at all? I know some don't feel it until 20 weeks though so if you weren't that wouldn't really mean anything...I was just curious :)

Thanks for the update.

I agree it does sound like a little girl heartbeat. Haley's and Leah's have/were 150's to 160's. I felt Leah at 16 weeks. Just the fluttering feeling. I'm sure you'll start feeling her soon. Also, the no weight gain thing...AWESOME!! I gained about 10to 15 lb by then I think. I still had been doing better then with Haley. I can't wait for you to find out. :)

I was feeling flutters a few days ago, but I haven't felt any since then. That was probably another reason I was so freaked out!

I did gain 5lbs right away, but none since then. I attribute that to still holding onto that last 8lbs after having Tristan haha :)

Well this one is different than the other pregnancies, becuase this ones a GIRL! :P
WEll first off congrats on your pregnancy!!! I hadn't checked your site in awhile and was pleasantly suprised to see that you were expecting again!!!! Gosh no weight gain, lucky you, I never had a problem with that during my pregnancies:) I can't wait until Jan. to see what you are having.

Hey, they don't always get bigger and bigger! True, Caleb was bigger than Alex, but my last 2 were my smallest ones. You just never know! The heart rate thing is so unreliable. According to that "legend" I should have had 3 girls and one boy. Caleb was the only one with the "official" boy heart rate. I'm pretty sure Micah and Jake are boys too despite the fact that their heart rates were in the 150 range...LOL

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
