Time has flown! We're already at 29 weeks tomorrow and the due date of December 17th is looming in the not so distant future with lots of things to do yet.
I've included some pics that will hopefully help out those that may not have seen the baby bump in quite some time...

| 20 Weeks - mountain biking Silver Run! |
At 21 Weeks, we had our big ultrasound. It is so cool - they measured all the major organs (this is where Ed had to sit down when he got woozy) and everything was right on track.
Dianne asked us, "Ok, do you want to know what the baby's sex is?"
Both of us: "YES"
Her words: "Definitely girl."

| Hello Little Girl!! |
Ed had kinda figured that since we hadn't settled on a girl's name at that point.
We had picked out several we liked:
Sophie, Hayden, Lucy and Rebecca with Alice (my grandma's first name) as her middle name.Once we had the ultrasound, Ed started calling her Sophie. So that's it:
Sophie Alice Whitfield
And we can't wait to meet her!

So that should catch the blog up to date! I've been feeling pretty good with only minor aches and pains. Heartburn is painful and the Braxton-Hicks contractions are bizarre (started those about 6 weeks ago), but I'm still pretty active. My sugar checked out GREAT, my blood pressure is good low (although I do have dizzy spells from time to time because of it), and some borderline low iron.
Little girl is just growing like crazy! She's almost 3# and 15" long now and will be here in 11 short weeks. Our office will be transformed into her nursery and we still have so much work to do. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but I'm trying to be patient knowing that God knows exactly what needs to get done and when.
Work is also stressful, as I need to plan on what happens with my projects and my peeps when I'm gone for maternity leave and try and squeeze in as much as possible. I don't do well with stress, so if you could pray for me for that, I would love it.
Ed is going to be a great daddy. He's so excited. We have some good friends here that are expecting at the same time and to see Ed and Jason together is just hilarious. I love my husband and know that our little girl is going to love and adore him.
I will be better about posting! Even if it's just a little bitty tidbit!!
Thanks for reading!!
