Baby bumpdate - 22 weeks

I received an e-mail request to update the blog with pictures of Abby and Kyah - thanks and enjoy, Kara.

Here's Abby at 7 weeks


And here's my beautiful wife at 22 weeks


Kyah is as active as ever. I felt her kick for the first time two weeks ago. Let me tell you, it was a swift, hard kick too. Abby said that it was the hardest she's ever felt her kick. I loved it. Then, just a couple nights ago, I was able to feel Kyah moving around for 15 to 20 minutes. It was wild!

It's a girl!!!

Meet our little girl, Kyah Mae Terpening.


One of the first things the ultrasound technician did was ask if we wanted to know the sex of our baby. We emphatically said yes. So she quickly maneuvered the wand into position and pulled up a very revealing shot of Kyah, and then asked if we had any guesses. I immediately said girl! There was no denying it. It was obvious. I then commented that a little modesty would be nice. Of course, Kyah had no idea anyone was staring in at her. : )

This is Kyah doing a bicycle kick. : )


We probably saw Kyah's legs more than just about any other body part. She was moving like crazy throughout the ultrasound. The technician said that she did three somersaults while we were there and was quite active. She was moving so much that it made the technician's job of getting specific pictures a little difficult. : ) She's been very active for quite a few weeks now. Though, I haven't been able to feel her kick yet. : (

Her cute little foot.


Waving to the audience.


We couldn't be more excited about our little girl. We just passed the halfway point in the pregnancy. She'll be here before we know it.

Poll results

Alright, 7 of you thought we were going to have a boy, 18 of you thought we were having a girl, and just one of you couldn't risk the 50/50 chance and voted "I don't know." We'll let you know what the official answer is after we talk to our parents this coming weekend. If you want to know sooner, call or text us.

We can tell you that the doctor said our little baby is completely healthy and doing well! Oh, and that the baby is super active. He/she did three somersaults during the ultrasound... and showed a lot of leg. : )
