21 Weeks!!!!!!

We are growing,growing,growing!!!!!! :) This week has been exciting for us! We finalized on a name...

Penelope June Dobernecker

She has been kicking so much!! She has a kicking schedule.. 5am,10am,3pm,6pm,10pm and 1am! Seem to be the schedule everyday! :) I posted a video of my tummy and if you look carefully you can see her move! haha!!

I've been feeling pretty good these days! I have my energy back and my love for food is DEFINITELY back!!!!! The migraines still come a couple times a week which is a bummer but at least its not everyday like it was.

We have been busy cleaning Penelope's nursery out. Going through things getting rid of a bunch of stuff. In the next couple weeks we will wash down the walls and put up the wallpaper. I just received the wallpaper today!! I will post a picture of what it looks like!! :) So excited to start decorating her nursery!

Nursery Wallpaper

How your baby's growing:

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.

20 Weeks! Half way there!!!!!!

So, here we are half way there!!!!!  She's growing so fast now!! Notice how I say "she" cause Im not growing it's her ;) hehe.. I've been very busy breaking in our bank account buying all these cute new outfits for her! I just cant help myself! I got the wallpaper sample that I'm going to order for her nursery! It's perfect and the exact colors I wanted! Now it's time to shop for furniture and bedding! I love this!!! :) I will post pictures as the nursery is in progress. So much fun! I posted a couple pictures .. The ultrasound is of her profile at 18 weeks. This is when we found out we are having a girl. :) The other is of HER growing at 20 weeks. ;) 

How your baby's growing:

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure,measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)

He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

18 Weeks!!!

I cant even describe how happy we are to be having a baby girl! This has been such an exciting week for us! Of course I started shopping the day after we found out! Having a girl might not be so good for our bank account!!! eeekk!

 This week has been alittle better with the headaches. Still having some bad days but seems like they aren't as often anymore. I feel like my belly has grown so much in the last week or so! We are really growing lately! Also, the past couple days I've been really feeling her move! Kicking all over the place! Such a weird feeling!!! Drew felt her kick for the first time yesterday. It made him melt like butter. He was so excited and so inlove. <3  I have a couple new ultrasound pictures that I will post soon. Also, an updated belly shot! Stay tuned!!!




Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
