XX marks the genome!

Well, we had our last ultrasound on Thursday and it was fun. The baby was moving its mouth like it was chewing gum, pretty funny. I really liked seeing 2 little feet. The doctor took lots of pictures, but unfortunately kept most of them. He gave us the ones that makes the baby look alien-ish. Oh well. I'm wondering if after the baby comes, if we get copies of all the ultrasound pictures. Anyways, the doctor was also able to show us the gender. He said he'd be surprised if it's a boy. So, looks like we're having a girl! After all my dreams growing up of having girl babies I was kind of excited to hear they may have actually meant something! No we don't have a name yet and we probably won't decide for good until we see her. We are open for any baby furniture/stuff that you may want to get rid of.
I'm 18 weeks and gaining plenty of weight, so says the doctor in a not so comical way. Well, whatever, if I'm hungry I'm going to eat right?!
We leave for New York next Wednesday and are super excited to go to Niagara Falls and Palmyra. It should be nice and chilly! We should have lots of fun pictures to post soon.
Nate started physical therapy last week and is down to 1 crutch! It's kind of funny to watch how hard he has to work at making his quadricep move. We certainly take walking for granted. And all of our other physical capabilities for that matter.
