We found out our little monster (as we like to call her now that she has started kicking cause she is CRAZY <3 ) is a baby GIRL... we couldn't be more excited to know how healthy she is and that she is just growing everyday!!! I'm due January 4th which brings me to the middle of my 22nd week.
Joe is going to be going on deployment soon and in preparation for that he moved me back home to Ohio where he got to spend about 2 weeks and just relax. It was hard to say goodbye but we have figured out a couple more times that I will be able to go out there to see him before he leaves!! He won't be home till next summer so that means he will be gone for the birth :( we are hoping he will be able to come home after she is born for a little while to meet her before she is 6 or 7 months old..
All in all it has been such an amazing experience for both of us and i'm so glad Joe was able to be there for half of the pregnancy and he has been the best!!! He takes such good care of me and when I felt like I coulndn't get up off the couch he was always there to do whatever I needed :) I love him soo much and bringing this little girl in to the world just about brings tears to my eyes because it's the combination of Joe and I and the love that we have <3 She's a lucky lady to have such an amazing father!!
Here is a picture of the little monster:
