BOY or GIRL?!
We'll find out on Monday if we're having a boy or a girl. I seriously can't wait to find out. I am such a planner and I can't wait to start getting everything ready for Baby Soto. At school this week, I had my students make predictions about whether I was having a boy or a girl. I have 22 students: 16 voted boy, 6 voted girl.
Christmas Parade
Last Saturday, Julianna got to experience her first Christmas Parade. The company that Josh works for has the Santa float for the parade in Yadkinville. They have their parade on Saturday morning. Josh dressed up as an elf and Julianna and I got to ride on the float. She had a blast throwing candy out to all of the people who were watching the parade. She did a great job and really loved being able to throw stuff! I hope we'll be able to make it a yearly tradition by participating. It was a lot of fun plus Josh makes a pretty cute elf!

i can brush my teeth!
Julianna is growing and learning so much every single day. In past couple of weeks, she has learned how to brush her own teeth. She hated when I brushed her teeth so I just gave her the toothbrush one night and she decided that she could do it on her own. Way to go, Julianna!
She's also talking so much more now. She has a pretty extensive vocabulary and has been putting words together to make sentences now. Her first real sentence was "I see ducks!" Mommy is very proud!
14 weeks
Pregnancy: 14 weeks
Weight Gain: 2 pounds.
Sleep: I need lots of it.
Gender: we'll find out in December! the Chinese gender calendar says a boy, I think it's a boy, but everyone else seems to think I'm having a girl. I guess we'll see!
Name: we have names picked out for both genders.
Feeling: tired but starting to get more energy. I'm also feeling less nauseous!
Health: blood pressure is great, weight gain is appropriate- things are going well!
Movement: even though it's early, I know I have felt a couple of flutters. I didn't recognize them until about 17 weeks with Julianna but I know what that feeling is now. I've heard from a few other moms that they were also able to feel baby sooner the 2nd time around.
Belly Button: in.
Next Appointment: at our last appointment we heard a healthy, strong heartbeat- 168! I will be going back the week of Thanksgiving for a checkup, as well as the week after for a blood screening, and then 2 weeks after that to have an anatomy scan! :)
