Best Moment this week: this is kind of a best/worst moment of the week. We went to the doctor on Monday and were supposed to find out what we are having, but Baby Langbein had other plans. The cord was right between the legs so they couldn’t see anything. Boo!!! But the best moment was hearing the doctor say that everything looks good and Baby Langbein appears to be doing very well. What I am looking forward to this week: finding out if it’s a boy or a girl! Hurry up December 30th!!!!

17 weeks!!

I know I've said this before, but I can't believe how quickly time is going by. I feel like this baby is going to be here before I know it.
