So, I'm extremely terrible! I have not updated this in over a month. Things have been so busy here at camp this summer that I just haven't taken the time to get back on here and update everything and everyone.
Well, first up, our baby is 100% officially a GIRL!! We are so stinking excited!! It will be so much fun to spoil a little girl, and for Richard to have a Daddy's little girl.
Here are the pictures we got from our Anatomy Scan, that was July 1st, when I was 20 weeks 4 days. It is amazing to me, that there is so much detail to see when she was only weighing approximately 12 oz. at that appointment.
Girl shot, definitely no boy parts.
Little shot of her face
The arm rubbing her eyes.
Profile shot
Her little feel. Definitely looks like she has daddies toes (thank goodness she doesn't have monkey toes like me!)
Her legs crossed at the ankle, maybe she'll be a little polite thing.
Face shot.

Nuzzling her face.
Here is my picture from 19 weeks. Was just starting to get between that pudgy looking stage.
20 Week picture
21 Week Picture, you can imagine that Richard was making me laugh really hard when taking this picture... He is always wanting to goof around and joke about things!
This is a beautiful gift we received from one of our co-workers. She said that Richard had complained about the amount of pink she would be wearing, and she searched and searched until she found an Orange diaper cover, so that she would have come orange in her life (just like daddy's wishes). She now has 3 flower headbands, that are absolutely adorable!
And last but not least, a picture from this morning at 23 weeks and 2 days.
How far along? 23 weeks 2 days
Baby is the size of a: Ear of Corn is what the What to Expect App says, measuring in at 8.5 inches crown to rump, and 1 1/2 pounds. Another site I read from frequently says that she is about 11 inches long (total) right now.
Total weight gain: Sitting in at 6-7 pounds. I'm doing great!
Sleep: blah! It is terrible here lately. Insomnia is setting in and it's really hard to get a solid amount of sleep unless I am just dead tired.
Best moment this week: Getting to see some friends that have come in this weekend, and also realizing that Amaya is having hiccups pretty often.
Development this week: The pancreas is kicking into gear sometime around this week and blood vessels continue to develop in the lungs.
All kinds of sounds can now be heard in the womb, from my breathing, to tummy gurgles, to honking horns and barking dogs.
Miss Anything: Just a good night of sleep every night.
Movement: I feel her every day now multiple times a day. She has the hiccups and likes to kick at random times during the day. It no longer takes me by surprise.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, although I did get sick this week, I really feel like it was random.
Symptoms: Not really much any more, just get hungry quickly.
Food Cravings: I'm enjoying Carmello candy right now, and definitely have been craving blackberry cobbler, speaking of which, I'll probably make one tonight.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I feel like I'm usually in a good mood. I get a little frustrated sometimes, but I haven't been very emotional.
Looking forward to: My mommy, twin, nieces, and sister coming to see me next weekend!
