18 weeks

Okay, I will be 18 weeks already tomorrow. I just can't believe it. Every day it is feeling more and more real. I had an appointment last week where we heard the heart beat. This was kind of exciting because it was Micah's first time hearing it. It is nice to hear that he or she is healthy and strong in there:). The heart was beating at about 160 beats...which I have been told indicates our baby Vander Veen will be a girl. I have felt all along that we will be welcoming a little baby girl into the world this winter but Micah has been positive it will be a boy. We will officially find out on July 28th whether we will will be saying hello to a girl or a boy. Don't you worry, as soon as we know we will be posting it for you all to read. Even though we don't yet know if we are having a boy or girl we have started to get things ready for the baby's room. Yesterday we bought a pack and play and we are super excited about it. In fact, Micah has already assembled it and put it in the baby's room. Here is a link to the pack and play we bought if you want to take a look. www.amazon.com/Carters-Comfort-Center-Playard-Changer/dp/B003PE1WIW. If you can't click on it just cut and paste it into your address bar. Every day I feel like I am showing more and more, once I really feel "pregnant" instead of just fat I will post some pregnancy pics for you all. That is all that we have for new baby news. But don't worry, I will keep you posted!
