18 weeks and introducing Khloe Margaret! :)

We are 18 weeks pregnant this week! 22 to go...

Finally, a smiley goo... but her eyes are closed! :(

How big is baby? Baby is the size of a mango! 6 inches long and 1/2lb!

Weight gain/loss: Well, I was staying pretty consistant at 5-6lb, and then a couple days ago we went to Chuys happy hour and indulged in the nacho bar... and I gained 3lb over night! :) I'm pretty sure it was a lot of water weight due to the sodium, because I've lost 2 of it already! So, all that to say.. I've gained 7lb so far.

 Sleep? Jet lag on the way home has been rough on the whole family. We are finally getting on a normal sleep schedule, but mama has been dragging for several days.

Movement? Baby is moving a lot still! :) Love it! She still hasnt kicked dada yet, but I think he'll feel her soon.

Symptoms? I really don't feel pregnant! Besides from a bump and feeling little one moving around I feel so wonderful. :)

Food Cravings? I was craving Mexican food after 9 days without it (hence the pigging out at Chuys!). Other than that, I'm not really craving anything else this week!

Gender: Baby is a GIRL! Khloe Margaret Vogelaar! Mike and I both loved the name Khloe and Margaret is a family name on my side.

Our community group guessing what baby is! The boys and Randi were right!

Jude was wrong, but he is excited to have a girl friend!

What I miss? Mike had a margarita at Chuys... how dare he!! That's pretty much all I miss!
What I'm looking forward to: shopping for Khloe's winter wardrobe and getting her room all set up! I can't wait to start searching for fabric and sewing stuff for her room. Taking MK to Disneyland next weekend and spending time with my whole family!

Big Sister: Is two weeks away from turning 2! AHH!!

Doctor's appointment notes: Our ultrasound went amazing... Khloe was very cooperative and let the ultrasound tech see everything she wanted to! Khloe looked fantastic and is growing strong and healthy. She is measuring 18weeks 4 days (we had our scan at 18 weeks 0 days) so that's perfect! The only thing that they saw that they want to keep an eye on is that I might have some kind of fibroid in my uterus that could cause bleeding complications during labor... like I need more of a reason to bleed again :( So, we get to have another ultrasound at the 7 month appointment to check up on it. I'm not worried, just excited to see Khloe again! :) Khloe's heart beat was 153 and my uterus was measuring 21 weeks. Doctor C was super excited for us to have another girl. She is so wonderful and I am reassured of our choice to have her as our doctor everytime I go!

Waiting in the ultrasound room!

Love,

The Vog girls and Mike
