16 weeks: Our Little Avocado

To our little baby girl. I love avocados and you're now the size of one! You are about 4.6 inches long and weigh about 3.5 ounces. You are now able to hear my voice(you lucky duck.) Also your taste buds are forming. Dad said you are going to love sugar because last night I had a few pieces of candy and by few I mean about 20. Well we were supposed to find out what gender you were in about 3 weeks but I couldn't wait any longer so there are places you go and pay extra and they will tell you sooner. So I called around and we went to a place on Monday.. You are a GIRL! Dad wasn't able to be there because he is in dallas so we recorded it for him and had him on the phone. Grandma Jeanne, Aunt Mckenzie, Cousin Ellie, Courtney, friend Zoey, Angie, Uncle Matt, and Aunt Stephaine (was on the phone) were all there to find out with us. The tech said she was 97% positive we go to the doctors ultrasound in less then 3 weeks so that would be funny if they said different. Also, at the ultrasound you waved to us it was the most darling thing I have ever seen. I loved it and the tech took a picture it makes me smile everyday. This week we also saw all my friends here in Utah, played Tennis today, went running, road bikes, and just had a grand ol' time. Defiantly still missing daddy though. Oh yes and how could I forget. I felt you this week little missy! It was so fun I thought last saturday I could feel you but I just wasn't sure. Then Sunday came and I was just minding my own business in church when it felt like you flicked me inside it was the coolest thing that has happened ever. I have been waiting for that to happen again but it hasn't. I still just feel you fluttering around inside but I have to be laying down and not talking. Its the best feeling though. We have another exciting week ahead of us so be prepared!

Love, mommy and daddy
