15 weeks Baby Rhodes Possibly a Boy?

Here is another view of the baby looking from the bottom up....we think we see a "boy" part, but once again, the verdict could still be out....we will be getting many more videos in the coming weeks/months!

15 weeks baby Rhodes...maybe a boy?

Paula got a shot of the legs kicking, and what we think is most likely a "boy" body part. The verdict is still out, but I'm curious on what y'all think. Enjoy!

15 weeks Baby Rhodes

Here is a short video clip that Paula took as part of a 15 week ultrasound. We kind of think the baby looks like an alien at this point, but a cute one!

15 week doctor appointment...

What you see is my 15 week preggo belly shot. For some of you, it might now look like anything. But I guess it kind of depends on the angle. :)

Presently I'm on the brink of maternity clothes, for those of you who are wondering. I normally wear clothes that are fitted, so most of my fitted things don't "fit" anymore.

Yesterday at work I wore maternity pants & a top with an empire waist for the first time. I got many "preggo" comments, mainly all positive. So right now it just kind of depends on how the pants fit.

My second doctor's appointment went really well. I got a good report overall. The labwork that they took from the previous appointment was all normal. I also got a good report on how I haven't gained too much weight and am drinking plenty of water. I'm glad that as a RD I'm doing a good job at this so far. (even though at times I feel like a total pig with all of my snacks).

The coolest part of the doctor's appointment was that I got to hear the baby's heartbeat, which sounded really swishy. It was in the 140s, which I heard is good.

It's still amazing to me how God forms each one of us in His image. The verse in Ps.139:13 has a deeper meaning now that it ever has: "you made all the delicate, inner parts of my body, and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous- and how well I know it." The way a baby is formed inside it's mother's womb is something so amazing, that even God calls it complex...no wonder us humans can't figure it out!

Kyle & I are continuing to pray daily for our little one. Please continue to do the same. God bless!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2009, everyone! I didn't take many pics to ring in the new year....sorry.

On New Year's Eve we went to Caleb & Audria's house for an evening of fun game playing. We played Buzzword, Catch Phrase, & Battle of the Sexes. I was proud of myself that I lasted until 11pm (which I consider midnight on New Year's since it is midnight in New York).

On New Year's day one of my dearest, best friends, Lisa, was in town to visit. We grew up together at church in Ohio, were roommates at Harding for 3 years, and have all kinds of fun memories. She recently got engaged over Christmas and it was the first time I had seen her since the big news. It was also her first time to see me a little rounder than I usually am at 14-15 weeks pregnant. We had an enjoyable evening catching up over dinner at Chili's. She then came to see our house. We took a picture....I set the timer & Pepper the dog walked up & wanted to be in the picture naturally! Believe me....he is usually really hard to get a good picture of....Lisa & I thought it was pretty funny!

Happy 2009 everyone! I have my next doctor's appt tomorrow, so I'll post anything exciting that I find out on here. :)
