We're having the cutest baby girl!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's about time for some updates from the Johansens. Life's been stressful and good all of the same time. Stressful because David is still looking for a job that would provide for us. He still works his two jobs but as more loan payments, doctors appointments and ultrasounds keep piling up, our money keeps disappearing. I know that money tends to do that but in our case it just comes and goes and we don't even get to look at it and feel better about all the long hours David puts into earning this hard worked for money. And I don't know if it's pregnancy or what but I keep thinking that I'd love to be able to buy diapers, a crib, bedding, clothes and bottles for our little baby but there's no money for it. I've been trying to find some work online but wasn't very successful there and it just kills me to bring this baby into our family and not be able to provide for her.
Speaking of HER... Yes, we are now 99% sure that our baby is a little girl! he 20 weeks ultrasound confirmed, more or less the fact and we'd like to believe that it was right. Why aren't we 100 % sure? It seems that our little girl is pretty stubborn. Every time we tried to look at her she would keep her legs really tight. We only got a couple sneak peeks, which was apparently enough for the tech and doctor to declare that they're very positive that this is a girl. We do have a picture to prove it but what do we know? She would not show us a profile either so we got pictures of her bum, feet, legs and back of her head but no cute little face. Shy little thing! LOL Anyway, as far as we could tell she looked great and she seems to be strong and healthy... and moving a lot! She moved all the time, which made us laugh but got the ultrasound tech a bit frustrated. :) So, no reason for me to be worried that baby is not moving, even though I still can't seem to feel her a whole lot. After going to the doctor, a few days before the ultrasound I was still a little concerned. We did hear her heartbeat again but the doctor kept asking me "So, would you say you feel her move three times a day? Or how many?" And I was like "Well, can't really say that I ever felt her move..." And then she finds the heartbeat and the baby moves as we were listening and the doctor was like "Did you feel that?" and I was like "Ummm... noooo?". Anyway, it turns out that all those ticklings, like gas bubbles that I feel sometimes in my tummy are actually the baby and I swear that a couple of times she went all the way at the lowest part of my tummy and was just laying there, cause I felt this heaviness and when I touched it it was like a little bump that moved away after a second or so. So, I know that she's fine even though I only feel her every once in a while and not even every day.
So, now that we got used to the idea that it's a girl and not a boy, as almost everyone I know predicted, including ourselves, we are really excited and talk to her and about her all the time. We just love her so much! We don't have a name picked yet but hopefully that will happen soon.
Here are a few pictures of our little girl, the best that we can come up with as of right now. My most favorite is the one of her foot. :) I really hope that we'll get to see her one more time before she's born and that we'll actually get a clearer view of her gender and of her cute little face just so that there won't be any gender-related surprises. LOL Enjoy!

First of all, congrats again!!!!! Girls are so much fun!!!! Since we are pretty sure that Tommy is our last baby (at least planned:), I would love to give you our bassinet and portable crib. I gave Irina the baby clothes, but we can arrange a baby shower for that and diapers to get you started. Please don't stress! Things will fall into place. Just try to take it easy and enjoy the pregnancy.

Wow, Ioana. Multumesc mult de tot. Nu am nici portable crib nici bassinet asa ca acest dar e intr-adevar de foarte mare ajutor. Nici nu iti dai seama cat de mult inseamna pentru noi. Multumesc inca odata si o sa iti spun cand avem baby shower. Eni s-a oferit sa il faca si va fi in August candva dar nu stim inca data. O sa iti spun cand stim sigur. Multumesc inca odata.

Cu multa placere!

Felicitari Dali! Ce frumos! Sa stii ca si la noi a fost nevoie de vreo 3 ultrasounds ca sa aflam despre Alexandra :-).
Imi pare rau ca unele lucruri nu merg cum ar trebui dar continuati sa aveti credinta si speranta si Tatal Ceresc nu o sa va lase la nevoie. Ne vom ruga si noi pt voi. Pupici!

Multumesc mult Stanca. Stiu ca totul va fi bine dar cateodata simt ca am avut prea mult si ca orice facem nu e destul. Stiu ca si voi ati trecut prin incercari in ultimul timp si vreau sa stii ca si voi sunteti in gandul si rugaciunile noastre mereu.
