16 Weeks (okay I'm a week late)

Our little babe is 16 weeks.  We had our 4 month appointment on Monday and was surprised when the doctor asked us if we wanted to find out the sex on that day.  We both thought we would have to wait until 20 weeks.  We excitedly said YES! So the doctor brought in the ultra sound machine, hooked it up, spread the cold jelly over my tummy and placed our little one's picture on the screen.  We saw our babe's arms, legs, feet, and head (such a difference from the 8 week ultrasound!)... But despite our yearning to find out if we're having a boy or a girl, our undisclosed son or daughter had other things in mind.  Our little one was adamant on sitting indian style so that the doctor could not maneuver to see his/her gender.  Already a rebellious little booger!
So we will wait another 4 weeks to find out!
Other baby news, I can finally feel movement and it truly is a magical feeling!  I was sitting there at work and felt a small spasm where I know the baby is and it was just a small little movement, but amazing to feel.  Curious I poked in that same area only to get two small spasms back! Now I'm absolutely obsessed with touching my stomach (but that doesn't mean you should be)!
On other news, my parents came to town for an extended weekend and it was a blast.  We went wine tasting (or smelling for me), walked by the river, hiked Badger Mtn, and just had a lot of fun.  It was super great to see them and wish we could see them more!

So most of you are familiar with the "Canadian Goose", Well this is what an "American Goose" looks like.
