Can't Wait To Find Out

We plan on making our monthly six hour prenatal trip to the International Clinic on Monday the 22nd. I am currently 21 weeks along. We are hoping at this next visit that we will get to know the sex of the baby. We, I, can't wait to pick out a name, start decorating, and buy clothes for our little one. We will let you know soon after we find out what the result is. Two pregnancy myths that I've read have me thinking it may be a girl... but so far I seem to be carrying low and many say that's a sign of a boy. I guess we will just have to wait a few more days to find out.

I felt the baby move, kick, at the beginning of the month. What an incredible feeling. The baby is very active at night and lately I've found myself wanting to go to bed a little earlier simply to lay down and feel the baby move before I drift off for the night. Although the movements are still small, Marcus can also feel the baby move. This is an exciting time for us.
As we wait for our child to come we are trying to get a head start. We bought baby furniture at the Ikea in Beijing last month and Marcus and I put it all together and also painted the baby's room (It's a tan color that will go well with decorating for both a boy or girl). We also received gifts from both of our parents for the baby.
Feeling the baby move and seeing the room almost ready for a little one is making the pregnancy so real. I've felt really good during the pregnancy, just a constant tiredness that doesn't seem to go away, but other than that I've been very blessed so far with an easy pregnancy. It seems like the next few months are never going to get here but we are half way along and time as already flown by.
