!Best Birthday Ever!

Wow! This year's birthday will be hard to beat.  I received the best gift in the world.  God has blessed us with a little GIRL!~  I am still in shock to say that.  Ever since the moment I found out I was pregnant, Kyle and I have asked everyone what they think the gender of the baby is going to be?  I would estimate that ~98% said boy and 2% said girl.  Well, most of us were wrong!  I would have been super excited with either gender, but I am ecstatic that we are having a sweet baby girl!

This weekend I finished my 20th week.  I can not believe how fast this pregnancy has gone.  It is a little overwhelming to think that in a few short months, our lives are going to change forever.  We have a lot to learn before then and even more to get done!!

Now that I am in my 5th month, change for me and the baby are happening more rapidly.  It amazes me every morning when I wake up just how much my body "grew" from the night before.  Pregnancy is a pretty neat experience and I feel so blessed to be growing another person inside of me!

Since we had our 20 week Ultrasound, I have posted some anatomy pictures of Baby Girl Rupp.  (Kyle and I are discussing names for our little Princess because "Little Bean" isn't quite cutting it any more.  She is now the size of a large banana!)

We will start out with my growing belly pictures....

I hope you enjoyed all the pictures!  I will continue to post often and share our progress.  We are looking forward to the next several months of getting the nursery ready, registering and baby showers, deciding on a perfect name, and most importantly planning on her arrival!~  Stay posted!
