5 Things I've learned so far...

1. Our baby has fingerprints already. I'm not sure why but this freaks me out.

2. Pregnancy heartburn is NO JOKE. Before this, I think I'd had heartburn twice in my life. I'm Mexican for Christ's sake! We love our spicy food. I guess I have to go easy for the next few months. Boo.

3. I can't watch "A Baby Story" without being reduced to a sobbing mess. But I find myself turning the channel for the delivery part.

4. The placenta & baby (aka alien) are about the size of an avocado right now.

5. Our baby will have duel citizenship. Cool, huh?

It's amazing what people ca...

It's a girl!

22 weeks in and this little girl is growing like crazy! I've nicknamed her "the dancer" because it always feels like she's gettin' down. She put on quite the show at the ultrasound session. It was pretty amazing. Matt's paternal instinct immediately kicked in -- "I get to be mean to boys!" Love it. Now to give her a name....
