We're going on a Southern Caribbean cruise with our friends Greg &amp; Jess. Sooo looking forward to it...just need to get through this day!<br /><br />On the baby front - Baby Girl Guggs is doing well. We had an appt. yesterday for my monthly checkup. Everything is good. Her heartbeat is about 140 right now and she kicked the doppler when the nurse was searching for her heartbeat. It was the first real kick that I felt, and so did the nurse! I've been feeling her move since the end of 16 weeks...started out like bubbles, then "squirmies" (I have no other way to explain it) and then now it feels like she's doing flips and recognizing those lil' kicks. Sooooo coool.<br /><br />No pics this week, but when we're back from vacation, we'll have plenty to share.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3371853172948937708-4567139814180910769?l=shanna-and-matt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt and Shannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14950042781433957043noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371853172948937708.post-36406635151136978862010-02-25T16:18:00.002-05:002010-02-25T16:23:35.614-05:00<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"><strong>GIRL!</strong></span> <span style="font-size:130%;"></div><br /></span><div align="center">18 week anatomy scan pictures.

Oh, and I can't figure out how to rearrange these pictures, so bare with me).
