It's a GIRL!!!

I know I'm really slow in getting this post up...but I've been busy. Last Wednesday, November 10th, we had an ultrasound appointment. :) The baby looks great! Growing quite well, the measurements told us that she weighed about 15 ounces! I really enjoyed watching as the technician went through all the anatomy to make sure everything was developing as it should. :) Yeah I know...I'm a nerd, I actually understood the majority of the things she was looking for. And we got to find out that we are indeed having a GIRL! :) Jon could hardly contain his excitement! It was fun. :) When the technician came to that part of the ultrasound it took me a second to see that it was indeed a girl, but I wanted Jon to say it. He was worried at first because he thought he was looking at boy parts...but she is all girl! We can hardly wait to welcome Veronika Ann Zuniga into the world! Just a few more months. :P So my favorite parts of the appointment were when they had me lift up my shirt so that the technician could do the ultrasound and then so the Dr. could measure me. The technician looks at me and says, "hey, I have the same underwear!" Then the Dr. mentioned something about being happy that we're an LDS couple. :) I love being a mormon!

I decided it's about time that I post some more pictures. I have a couple to post...can you see the difference in my belly? :)

20 weeks :)

21 weeks and going through Fat Man's Pass. Lol Jon was "worried" I was going to make it through. As you can see I had no problem, but I was touching both sides at the skinniest part. :P

Sick...BLAH!

Yeah, that's right I'm sick. :( I'm pretty sure it's just a cold, but with how miserable I've been you wouldn't be able to tell. Let me tell you, getting sick while pregnant is NOT fun at all! For many different reasons. First of all I don't want to take anything to help me be less miserable because I'm afraid I'd take the wrong thing and end up hurting the baby. Second all the extra blood flow and such makes my nose run even more than it would when I'm not pregnant. Therefore the intensity of my cold has been intensified by 10! YUCK! So moral of the story? Just don't get sick when you're pregnant. I'm pretty sure I didn't get any sleep the first night (Sunday night). I'm just glad that i didn't keep Jon awake all night with my tossing and turning.

The only upside I've seen in the past 2 days while being sick is that the baby's kicks and other movements are getting stronger. While I've sat around feeling pathetic the baby has tons of energy and is moving around quite a bit. My mom even got to feel the baby. :) It made me laugh cause when the baby kicked her hand moved too! I'm so excited for the baby to continue to grow!

On an even happier note...we get to find out TOMORROW what we're having!!! :) And more good news? The Dr's office called to confirm and told me that since I'm over 20 weeks pregnant I don't have to drink the 32 oz of water and hold it for an hour before the appointment! YAY! I was really anxious about that. My bladder is small enough as it is. Give me 32 oz of water and tell me I can't go to the bathroom until after my appointment? I'm going to tell you that you're crazy! :P

Adventures with Luke

Last week Luke and I decided to go get some fresh air. So we went to the park. :) Luke had a blast! I did too, but racing him to the end of the street did me in. Needless to say I was ready to go home for a nap before he was ready to leave. We took some pictures while we were there. Note to self: don't ask a 4 1/2 year old to take a picture of you.

Luke riding his bike. He's quite the little speedster!

Luke and I on the playground.

I asked Luke to take a picture of me and my tummy...he missed my head. :P

Yay! He got my head in the picture! :) Can you see my pregnant belly?
