Alannah's Belly is Growing

Alannah has finally allowed Jason to begin photographing her growing belly. Unfortunately we waited until she was 15 weeks before we started. :( So now Jason is going to try to make sure we get a picture of her belly every week. First is Alannah at 15 weeks.

Even at 15 weeks her belly is already poking out. It blows our minds that our baby is growing so fast, that Alannah's belly is reflecting that growth. She had to buy some maternity pants the other day, not because she can't fit into her pants, but because wearing a belt hurts her belly. Unfortunately if she doesn't wear a belt she suffers from plumber-itus (showing off of the crack). So her new maternity pants not only cover her crack, but they are more comfortable and are cute to boot. Luckily, she has many shirts, which Jason refers to as "preggy shirts," in her wardrobe. She has always like the style of shirt, even though Jason always jokes that they are for pregnant chicks, now they are coming in quite handy.
We are currently 2 week away from finding out the gender of our baby. We have an appointment on March 2, 2009 at Utah Valley to have major tests done on the baby, and find out the gender. We are very excited, and can't wait to find out. Alannah thinks it is a girl. Jason has always thought they would have a girl first, but now that we are pregnant he thinks it is a boy. Either way, we are just hoping the baby is healthy. If you get a chance, vote on the poll to the right of the blog, and we will check it daily to see what everyone thinks.

Last week when we had Kennedy over, we took some more pictures of Alannah's belly at 16 weeks. The shirt she is wearing is actually a maternity shirt and not one of her "preggy shirts." Isn't she beautiful? Jason thinks so, and thats all that matters.

So, continue to read, and vote in our poll if you get a chance. We will let everyone know as soon as we know. Love you all, and talk to you soon.
