U/S take 2 - and the Clemson/AU Game!

So we went Thursday to Baby's First Images (awesome place by the way), and I'm happy to report the u/s tech was able to get a clear shot of the gender!  She said she was 95% sure - I'll certainly take that!  We are anxiously awaiting the reveal Saturday - it's so hard to wait!  Here are a couple of pictures we were able to have now, since they don't reveal anything!


The little knees are right below the stomach and his/her hands are right by the mouth.  So sweet!



Can't wait to put a bootie on this sweet little foot!!



Laying on his/her side - well formed skull, ribs, and spine

Saturday we packed up and headed to Auburn with Megan and Peyton.  We had such a good time, despite the heat and the result of the game.  Okay, everyone but ME had a blast.  It was awesome to hear so many AU fans scared in the beginning, but it was so heartbreaking to lose on such a little thing.  It really was a tight game.  Just wait until next year in Death Valley!!  I took a few pictures, but somehow forgot to get one of Judd and I.  I think we may have to stage one! :)

Angie, Megan, me, and Hannah tailgating.

Go Tigers!

Only because it's our "family" blog - War Eagle :)

As for Baby Nash (next week I get to say Jackson or Bray!!  woohoo!!), he/she is officially a little onion!

I am definitely feeling some "flutters," and I think I felt the first kick.  The flutters feel litterally like that - a butterfly fluttering inside.  The day I thought it was a kick, it felt like someone gently thumped me.  I've felt it a couple more times, but not consistantly enough to believe it for sure yet!

Here's what What to Expect.com says about Week 17:
How big is your baby at 17 weeks pregnant? About five inches long and more than three and a half ounces (Baby Nash is 6 oz!!, so a little big for week 17!) — the size of your open hand. (Open the other one too and imagine your baby cradled in both your arms right after delivery!) Body fat (baby's, that is) is beginning to form and will continue to accumulate through the end of your pregnancy. By the time your baby is born, body fat will make up about two-thirds of his or her weight (and will make all those chubby parts especially yummy).


Your baby is almost certainly listening up by now. In fact, loud noises — the dog barking, the doorbell ringing — will actually startle your baby (and also get him or her used to such noises; for instance, fetuses who regularly hear a dog barking will become babies who sleep right through Fido's outbursts). Your baby's eyes (which have fortunately finished their migration to the front of his or her head) are making small side-to-side movements and can even perceive some light, though the eyelids are still sealed. And since practice makes perfect, your baby is sharpening his or her sucking and swallowing skills in preparation for that first (and second…and third) suckle at your breast or bottle. In fact, most of the survival reflexes that your baby will have at birth are being perfected in utero right now.

And here's some proof that your baby is truly one of a kind (as if you needed any!). Within the next week or so, the pads on your baby's fingertips and toes will become adorned with completely individual swirls and creases (aka fingerprints).

The next post is the BIG gender reveal!!  Will it be Bray Elizabeth or Jackson Paul??  Only 4 more days to vote!!
