4 months and counting

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

So we have now hit the 4 month mark, and I still feel like it is passing really slowly. I know that a lot of people feel like time is flying by, but for me, not so much. I still haven't felt the baby move, so I'm just hoping that everything is ok in there! I know that I am just now in the time when people start to feel the movements, so it's not a big worry, but I can't wait to feel it!

My next appointment is on Tuesday, and they are doing that AFP blood test, and I think that is all they are doing. If I remember tomorrow, then I'm going call the office and see if they said they were doing an ultrasound at my appointment or not. I know this is one of the earlier times that they can tell the sex, but if they are doing one, then I want Brian to be there so that he can see it too! It was really cool seeing it the last appointment when I could see it kicking at the ultrasound wand as I call it! I don't really know the proper name for it!

I have been feeling really really tired as of late, and I don't know if its because things have been getting a little busier at work with the back to school time being in full force, or what, but last night I was asleep for the night at 8:30. I'm getting ready to go to sleep tonight, but I wanted to get this post on so that everyone could see where we stand! I know some of you look at this all the time to see what's going on that's new, so I didn't want you all to wait too long!! :)

I'll put up a new post sometime after my appointment. If they just do the blood test, then I'm sure we wil have to wait a while to get the results, but you never know I guess. Just please say a prayer that everything is fine there with our little avacado!! Brian and I are both anxious to find out what we are having. Brian is really really hoping for a boy, and I don't care either way as long as it's healthy. But I think I'm probably having a boy too. I would be really excited if it was a girl though! We do have names for both, so that's something we don't have to worry about!! :)
