Time seemed to be moving so slow, until one morning I woke up and realized – I’m more than 6 months pregnant!

This is at 25 weeks,2 days. Whoa.

Yes, it’s a little girl!! A little girl is headed our way! We went to our 20 week ultrasound appointment today, which is mostly for the purpose of making sure that the baby’s growth and development is progressing well and – if you want to know, and we did – if the little one is a boy or a girl. All this time, we had both long said that we would be totally happy with either a boy or a girl, and even now, I maintain that would have been the case.

Still, there had always been a teeny little part of me inside that hoped for a little daughter. So I can’t help being completely giddy and ecstatic over finding out that our baby will indeed be “daddy’s little girl”! I couldn’t be happier!

So now, we move yet another step away from the abstract and towards reality, and it feels incredible. Our little daughter is halfway here, and dad (and of course mom) just can’t wait to welcome her into the world!!

Your dad loves you, kiddo!

Things are starting to speed up a little with Baby Kim – after what has seemed like FOREVER, we finally have our appointment for our anatomy scan, AKA “The ultrasound that can reveal if Baby Kim is a boy or a girl!” (Okay wait, first we have to hope that junior cooperates with the ultrasound! Let’s keep our fingers crossed …)

The big day is set for Monday, June 14th at 3:00pm.  Just for fun (and to keep us occupied for two more weeks) … we want to know what YOU think Baby Kim will be!

What do YOU think Baby Kim will be?

Also, I’m pretty darn sure I’ve been feeling the baby move. Yesterday I was lying around reading a book, and I felt a few little taps. They were really faint, so I didn’t think too much about it. But then this afternoon after lunch I started feeling the same thing, but this time a little more often and a little stronger. Maybe the increase in activity means that Baby likes El Pollo Loco as much as I do? :)

Just a quick little update on Baby Kim … aside from being spoiled by mass amounts of gourmet food on our FOODCATION (which still has pics & posts coming – we promise!), this baby is growing and is pretty darn active! Even better, this kid travels well – I didn’t have any troubles on our trip and we’re feeling confident that our new junior member will be able to keep up with thosecoolkims. We take that as a very good sign! :)

We haven’t felt any movement yet (they say its coming in the next few weeks), but at our last appointment the doctor tried to hear the heartbeat using the doppler. She couldn’t quite pick it up, so she said, “Let’s just get out that ultrasound machine and take a look then!” Of course we didn’t complain, and once we saw what was going on inside, the doctor said, “No wonder we couldn’t find the heartbeat, look at how much this baby is moving around in there!” It was true – little Baby Kim was moving those legs and shaking those fists all over the place! We saw the heartbeat on the screen, so all is well … and now we’ve only got 4 weeks to go until we find out if we’re Team Pink or Team Blue!
