26 Weeks!

Week 26: Air sacs in the lungs form now. Eyes are opening and beginning to blink for the first time. Fetal brain scans show response to touch. If you shine a light on your abdomen, the baby will turn its head, which according to researchers, means his optic nerve is working. Average size: 1.7 pounds, 14 inches.

Healthy Check up!

We had our targeted ultrasound today and we are happy to report that Ellie is growing very well. I was really nervous going into this appointment because it is always scary to think that something could be wrong with the sweet little baby growing inside of you! The doctor was very happy to see that she had all her toes, fingers, and her lips, as you can see below have completely formed. Her brain looks great and her heart is all put together and pumping very steadily. She did say that she has a very full and big bladder but reassured me that there was nothing wrong and it wasn't to big!

After looking at her sweet face I really think she looks like Cj...the nose is definitely the "KELSON" nose. The more i looked at her the more i thought she looked like Cj's little sister Karly...It will be really crazy to see what she looks like when she is finally here! We are so thankful and blessed that Ellie is healthy and happy!!

23 weeks!

Week 23: Bones located in the middle ear harden. (The low-frequency sounds of a male voice penetrate the abdomen and uterine wall better than the higher frequencies of the female voice.) The eyes are formed, though the iris still lacks pigmentation. If born now, baby has a 15% chance of survival. Average size: 1.1 pound, 11.4 inches.

The first half of my pregnancy went by so fast but i swear since we found out it was a little girl, it seems to be going sooooo slow!!! i just can't wait for ellie to come and i still have like 17 weeks left!! ahhhh i dont know if i can wait that long!! We are so excited because we have our next doctors appointment on the 10th and we are having our targeted ultrasound. I am so excited to see her again but a little nervous that they will be checking everything out. I hope that she is growing ok!! Well 23 weeks down, a lot more to go!!

Bear Hugs XoXo...

Yesterday Lise and I both worked half a day and then spent the rest of the day in SLC. We walked around Gateway, did some baby shopping and finally got Lise pants that would fit her and the Ellie Belly. We then ate dinner at the California Pizzeria and headed to the game. We were able to get the Bear to sign Lise's jersey and pose for a picture. To top off a great day the Jazz pulled out their 7th straight win!

My Belly.My Ellie.& her clothes!!

Look what aunt Karly bought!! We love the JAZZ!

21 weeks!!

Dont mind how crappy i look, i just got back from dance!!

Thats right her name will be ELLIE ANNE KELSON!! Please dont tell us if you don't like it because we really love it and have already started calling her ellie when we talk to her. Cj even has "Ellie Belly" time before we go to bed!! I love it :) i am 21 weeks and really feeling it. I might sound like a pansie but wow i hurt already. My spine aches, and i am having these pains called round ligiment pain in my lower abs and every time i move, cough, pee or stretch i have like mini contractions and they hurt :( I am also sick again with this crappy chest cold and can't seem to loose it!! besides that i have started to feel her little ninja kicks even better. Those little dancer legs are strong!! we have started to enjoy the rush of shopping for cute little girl clothes!! he he ok me a little more than Cj, but he really got into it the other day! We are so excited to have her come that we can hardly stand it!! This month we are going to start working on the room and trying to find a bedspread...any ideas on where to find a cute one? i really want a black and pink one but everything is brown and pink right now so my luck has been low!! any ideas would help!!

It's a......

Proof She is a girl!! Nothing between the legs :)

It's a baby GIRL!!! We were so excited when we went into the doctors today and they were able to tell us the sex of the baby!! We are so lucky to be having a baby and i can't lie but i am so excited to have a little princess!! We also found out that we are furthur along then my old doctor had predicted. i am actually 20 weeks and my new due date is the first of July!! I am going to start shopping NOW ha ha

17 Weeks!

FACT: Fat begins to form under the skin. With reflexes now in place, the baby can suck, swallow, and blink.

I am 17 weeks prego and feeling so much better!! I only feel sick every once and a while and it is usually only when i have over done it. My little baby is kicking away and i felt it from the outside for the first time a few days ago. Cj has felt the baby kick once but every time Cj puts his hand on my belly the little thing gets stage fright and wont kick for him. It is so sad :(

I decided to switch doctors so i go in for my first appointment with my new docotor on Monday and hopefully we can find out the sex of the baby or at least find out a date when we can! I am so excited to find out if it is a boy or a girl!!
