17weeks

This week Ava will have her own set of fingerprints. She also is starting to hear much more, so we talk to her even more than we have been. Daddy tells her he loves her every night. Its the sweetest thing. He doesn't go to sleep until he rubs my belly to let her know he is right next to her.

Ava bedding is in her room. Carter's Love Bug. It has the cutest danty lady bugs and butterflies, and polka dot sheets. I am painting canvas to go on the wall with her name on them. Lots of polka dots, I didn't think I would every get the last one painted. :) They are looking so cute. Once I get everything finished I will post pictures.

Next appointment is on Tuesday. Dr. Bofill will do a full anatomy scan, checking all of her vital organs. Can't wait to see my precious Ava!

Well we got our confirmation today, the Baby is a GIRL! Ava Rose Weaver! As soon as we started the sonogram her legs were spread wide open. I think its from the talk I had with her before we left the house about cooperating. Her heart rate is 143bpm.
The funniest part about the sono was finding out her estimated weight. 6oz! In the 89th %.
We got to see both kidneys and a bladder which to us was such a relief since that was the main problem with our angel. The brain looked great and her heart has 4 chambers.
Ava Rose did not want her picture taken today. All we needed was one of her profile. She kept her head facing away from us, so we tapped on my belly trying to get her to move. With each little push we gave her, she would throw her hand up. Almost as if to tell us go away, Brian thought it was her way of flipping us off. Eventually we did get a good picture.YAY!
We will go on 9-1 to do a full anatomy scan with the specialist.

Ava Rose has been moving around more and more. The first time I felt her was on Brians birthday, 7-3. Right now she is kicking the left side of my belly! She sure does have a punch/kick too! I'm in for it when she gets farther along.

Wow! I have finally hit the 2nd Trimester! This is a great milestone to reach! I have been feeling little twinges in my tummy that i know are not gas! Brian tries to feel but it is still too early for him. Not much longer until he gets to feel his little sweet pea!

Yesterday (14W2D) we did a sono to try and get a sneak peak of what the baby is. We have an idea, but because she wouldn't open her legs all the way and stayed in a breech position, it was hard to tell.
She was so modest. Her umbilical cord was between her legs blocking our view. When the cord moved a little for us, we saw hands go straight between the legs. Sweet baby just didn't want us to get a glimps.
We are going to go back within the next week to try to confirm are suspisions, even though we are 95%sure!

Also, did anyone notice the 12week sonogram? The way the baby was positioned, she made a HEART out of the sac, her feet pushing down the bottom point and her neck making the top! Just wondering if I was the only one that noticed!
