Mini Me

Here's one of my mini me, Lexie Grace. She just got out of the pool. I apologize for the sideway's picture, but Steven's out of town, and I can't figure out how to rotate it. I'm terrible at this computer stuff.

Tummy pix

Here are some clothed tummy pix. These are for you, Jess.

Kicking

Steven and I attended a parenting class this weekend. It was instructed by a nurse, and most of it was common sense, but there were a few things that we wanted to feel more comfortable with, such as- infant CPR, and choking, and a few other things like that. It was well worth the time, and money. While standing in line for lunch during our break today, Steven got to feel Sophia kick for the first time. This was so exciting because I've been trying to get him to feel her for the past week, but every time he'd put his hand on my tummy she'd stop.

I'm going to post a tummy picture here soon, since I've had several requests. I'm just having a hard time showing my bare stomach. I may have to start with it covered, and work my way up to a naked tummy. Baby steps.

Sophia at 20 weeks!

Hi all! This is Steve, the one who will now have three princesses in the castle. Oh well at least I can pretend I am the King. This is the sonogram we had done at 20 weeks. In July we will be posting our 4 D sonogram of Sophia. So grab your popcorn and soda or beer whichever you prefer and sit back and watch this video of our little girl! God help me!

Name

I was so excited by our news that I forgot to post the baby's name. Steven and I started looking into names weeks ago. We each came up w/ 10 boy and 10 girl names, and not one matched. We then agreed upon one girl name, but couldn't agree on any boy names. Good thing we didn't have to go back to the drawing board...argument averted! Her name is going to be Sophia Jane Bacon. JaneLee is my mama's name.

It's a..........

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Steven, now he has three princesses (including Reagan) in the house. My mom and sister, Kelly, came with us. There were lots of tears of joy. She appears to be healthy. Thank you God!





This is a picture of her heartrate.
The technician couldn't get a good picture of her profile. She had her hands and legs in front of her face. She kept opening and closing her mouth , as if she were talking to us. I told my mom she's definitely a Humphrey!
Here's her hand. She was waving to us.

We're so excited!!! Steven's parents, aunts, and uncle, had all boys, so this will be the first girl on the Karge side. As my baby sister, Lexie, would say GUWLS WULE!!!

We're off to Virginia for the rest of the week. I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend.

Cake decorating class

I am taking a cake decorating class at Michael's with Laura, Molly, and Shannon. It's been a little more stressful than I had anticipated. I thought you just show up and they'll give you supplies and show you how to make pretty decorations on a cake...not so much! You have to make your own cake, which is easy, because that comes in a box, but you do have to make your own icing. Lots and lots of icing. Practice icing, thick, medium, thin, colored icing. This was quite a task, that is for me anyways. I just wanted to show my cake off, because who knew I could decorate a cake?! This really doesn't have anything to do with the baby, other than maybe I'm becoming more domesticated now that I'm with child...or maybe that's wishful thinking. I do have two more classes to go, so I'll have to post those pictures as well. Just for those of you who are always making fun of my domestic side.
