16 weeks and finding out the sex

We didn't intend to find out the sex of Baby Welch today, but we couldn't help it!  We visited the Perinatologist because of some concern with blood clotting indicated by some blood work which we found that there is no reason to be concerned! 
During the sonogram the doctor mentioned that we shouldn't have another sonogram for 4 weeks since we had one today, so the thought of waiting 4 weeks until finding out the sex was too long, so we found out we are having a BOY!!!!  And a healthy (at least so far) boy!  We haven't decided 100% on a name, but Maddox is what we love the most as of now!

Christmas

A few highlights from Christmas this year!

My grandparents had this reaction...
When the received a NEW TV from my parents. 

Even more special my grandparents stayed 4 days with us over Christmas because Shawn and Jon were in town and they made the announcement that they are expecting in July!   

 
Madilyn catching up on some reading on her new potty chair that cheers for her when she pottys in it!

Nursery-Before




Bob had already started painting the trim white before I could snap a true before picture of the nursery. However, I wanted to remember how the room looked with the brown trim and how the room served as a place to iron and hold all of our junk!

14 Weeks



At 14 weeks the nausea has subsided and I hardly "feel" pregnant (other than a few headaches here and there). It feels good to be back working out and doing yoga. The weirdest part so far, is that sometimes I have a slight belly like the picture above and other times I don't have a belly at all! I am ready to have a belly all the time and feel the movement of the baby.
