It’s a…

Here are some updates:
* Last week I could feel the baby kick for the first time.
* I had my first ultrasound, and everything looks good and healthy.
* This baby girl is kicking and moving like crazy. For 30 minutes Ryan and I watched her jump on my bladder, and then she curled her legs up and kicked other random organs.
* Yes we have names, and no we’re not telling. Sorry
Here she is sucking her thumb and then her profile. The ultrasound technician printed out about 10 pictures, but this is all you get.

She was really good (besides kicking me constantly) and moved all around so we could see her from every angle.
And, by popular demand…the belly shot. I didn’t have much to show before, but I will please the masses and give you this profile picture of me at 18 1/2 weeks.

Yea! Congrats! You will love having a girl. They are so much fun. You look great!
oh the excitement of the first child.
Yeah!!! Congrats congrats!!!
Hurray for little girls! Congrats. Thanks for posting the belly shot. You look so cute! Can’t wait to see little Rittney! Just kidding, that name’s almost as good as Renesme from Twilight. You may want to consider that;)
I would just like to say that I knew it. I’ve been saying it for all these years, I knew you would be the first to have a girl, so thank you for cooperating. So exciting…
Hurray sister! Im so happy for you!
So I just barely found out that you have a blog and I am pretty happy about it! Congratulations again on baby girl! Carter was sucking his thumb in his ultrasound too – so fun. Wasn’t the ultrasound time just the most amazing experience?
i am slow in my blogging comments – but let’s get past the obvious. total awesomeness for having a girl. well done baby maker. also – kicking, a plus. ultrasounds are awesome, i wish i had a machine at home just to look at my insides once in a while. love the profile of baby. enjoy!
