Yes, folks... it's the moment you've all been checking my blog for.
Here are some recent, and some not-so-recent shots of the belly.
I hope you enjoy.



January 27th- 12 Weeks
Notice my nice Sunday slip that is creeping out.
This is when I first started noticing a little bump.



February 4- 13 weeks... I was still keeping it a secret at work.





March 2- Almost 17 weeks
Getting a bit larger, I'd say.
(And, yes, I'm not just talking about my tummy-- check out those cheeks!)



April 7- Ready for my daily walk.
She's moving around in there.

It's a Girl!

On Tuesday, April 1, Bart and I went to the baby's 20 week ultra sound.
We found out we are having a girl.

This is wonderful news for 2 reasons:
1. I've always wanted a baby girl.
2. I already had purchased some girl clothing.


We are very excited!



In honor of this special news, I've included a shot of my sisters and me.
Maybe I'll have 5 more girls, just like my mom did.
