Thanks Friends in Laredo!!

We went to Laredo this past weekend. I had never been and Steve hasn't been in years. He showed me where he grew up, his school, hangouts, etc. Saturday night, Steve's friends from high school gave us a surprise baby shower. Grace is already being spoiled!

Steve practicing. Anissa's little girl loved Steve!


The scale isn't going to be friendly at my next appointment after all the tacos, enchiladas, paletas, etc. that I ate....yikes!

Here she is!!

It's A Girl!!!

60% of you were right!! She was absolutely perfect! We went back later and the lady doing the ultrasound let us go in the room with 3D capabilities. We kind of got to see what her little face will look like - she won't have all the soft tissue for about 8 weeks. We'll post the ultrasound pics later today. Oh, and her name is Grace Elizabeth.

20 week appointment

All went well at the 20 week appointment. The heartbeat was 140 bpm. There is an old wive's tale that heart rates greater than 140 signify a girl and less than 140 signify a boy. Mine started out around 165 and has gradually come down. Could this be a boy??

Is Baby Vela a Boy or a Girl???

With the 20 week ultrasound quickly approaching, I can't think of anything else except whether this is a boy or a girl. I was sure I'd have a strong feeling one way or the other, but I really don't. I'd love to get your input. Be sure to vote on the upper right side and I'll post what it is as soon as I get home from the ultrasound :)
