23 Weeks and Counting!

Well we are at the 23 week mark! I cannot believe how fast my pregnancy is going! Things are going pretty well! I have a huge appetite right now...Aaron says I am eating us out of house and home! I am trying to be careful with my appetite...and my cravings I get here and there, but I definately have not deprived myself...including Big Macs and hot tamales! We hopefully will be starting on the baby room soon....we have picked out paint, and purchased our crib and dresser. Now if I can just get Aaron to give up his "man room" we will be on our way!

We spent the weekend in Sun Valley, Idaho. Aaron played hockey there this weekend against the Sun Valley Suns. They lost Friday night 4-3 and won Saturday night 6-3. It was nice to get out of town for a little bit!

I purchased my plane ticket, and will be heading back to Iowa in March. I can't wait! I miss everyone so much!

Well not to much more to write about right now. Hope everyone is well! I am posting my 5 1/2 month picture. Just 3 1/2 more months to go.....

It's a Girl!!!

Well we finally had our appointment, and much to my surprise, Aaron decided that we were going to find out what we are having. We are delighted to announce that we are going to have a baby girl! The doctor was 90% sure it is a girl, so as Aaron says there is still a chance we could have a boy (very slim though:) Now we get the challenge of picking out a name for our little one. That should only take the next 4months to decide! HAHA! Both baby and I are doing well. Our doctor said her heart rate is excellent, and her measurements were right on. She also said I am doing great and that my weight and blood pressure are really good. So I guess that takes alot of the anxiety away!! I am going to try to post a picture (ultra sound) of the baby if I can. Hope everyone had a fabulous New Year's Eve and that 2009 is starting out great!

Love Aaron, Nic and Baby Girl Ackley!
