Some beary sweet people have been asking about me, the pregnancy and of course the baby.
I obviously have not been around a whole lot. I am busy trying to teach and make a few bears here and there. I am doing well, trying to enjoy the changes to my body. :redface:
The pregnancy is coming along just fine. I am 21 weeks along. My belly looks more like its a baby belly than a "too many Krispy Kremes" belly. I have gained some weight and am sleeping worse. No problems to complain about.
The baby is kicking me daily. We had an ultrsound last week to make sure all the fingers and toes were there!
Of course during that process they saw what sex it was.
Did you want to know?
Huh?
I don't hear you all begging to know......
Maybe I should wait to tell you all...
Unless of course you need to know to knit it a hat or booties, or makeit a bear.........
Well, I guess I can share.......IT'S A GIRL!!!

Nice pict! First one! :love:
HUGGS,
Julia.
:hug: 
:pray: Take care!!!
Congrats, Kirsten! A little girl is so exciting! She better like bears! When we have kids, it's pink bears for the girls and blue bears for the boys. 
Like SueAnn said, does she have a name yet?
That is wonderful news Kirsten and I have been wondering how you were getting on.
Little baby girls are so sweet as you can dress them in beautiful pink and lace dresses.
Our first baby was a girl - and I was so happy as my husband had come from a family
of 5 boys so I thought the chances of us having a girl were a bit slim. Now she is 16!
Take good care of yourself and try and get a lot of rest.
Hugs
Carolyn

DoodlebearsWow Kirsten, she has your nose! Great to see a picture of your little girl. Take care and do keep us updated with any news about the baby. I've two beautiful daughters (and three sons) so I know just how excited you must feel about seeing your daughter.

Baird'sBears Hugs from Auntie Eileen, too :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
I can tell already that she's a beauty!!
We've got 3 daughters. Hubs comes from a family of 3 sons, and I come from a family of 3 daughters. He prefers daughters. According to him, and his brothers, there's an old Scottish saying that goes, "Anyone can raise a son, but it takes a real man to raise a daughter"! I have no idea what this means, but I guess a man would!
Eileen
Kim-Bee BearsYAY! PEANUT IS A GIRL!!!! Congrats!!! :hug: :hug:
Posts: 3,177I am truly madly deeply happy for you Kirsten
I JUST KNOW she will be a little........
Thank you for sharing the scan with us all Kirsten - i feel like a long distance auntie :hug:
Take it easy and enjoy the pregnancy sweetie
Auntie Penny 
Sophie Z'OursGreat! I am so happy for you! I hope everything will be find with your pregnancy...
But don't be too active and take time to rest when your are too tired! I know it's not easy to stop everything and to rest (my own cousin was unable to rest and had problems so she has now to be very careful because she is 6 months pregnant).
I am jealous of all these people around me who are pregnant. My sweatheart and myself cannot afford a baby because we have a too low income and none of us has a permanent job... Still have to wait!!!
:hug:
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Wild Thyme OriginalsWOOOHOO Kirsten!!!! It's such a relief to actually SEE the baby, isn't it!!!!! And, if I'm not mistaken.... she has Mommy's propensity for sticking out her wee little tongue!!!! :P
Just kidding.... I do SO love that wacky picture of you Kirsten!
Beary truly yours,
Kim Basta

Ruby Mountain BearsOHHHH!!! Happiness is little baby girls. :hug: I have two daughters, They are the best. ( Most days)
Congratulations. so Happy for you.
Oh Kirsten I am so happy for you! Yes, DO enjoy your pregnancy. I just loved the feeling of my little Jen rolling around in my tummy I'm so very very happy that things are going well!
Hey you all!
Thanks so much for the sweet comments and encouraging words.
I feel so wonderfully blessed to be pregnant and having a girl is the icing on the cake. My mom and I have a really cool close relationship. She's my best girlfriend. I can't wait to have something similar with my own daughter.
My hubby has already bought a few pink outfits for her. He really wants to do things girlie, but I have to live with all the girlie stuff and am trying to keep him within limits (NO PINK WALLS)
Jenn - I could use some sanity and some sleep!
I'm not sure about the nose thing - my hubby has a totally cute nose, but the sticking out of the tongue is probably right on!
She sure is a kicker and measuring on the high end of the scale! She wallops me good all day. During the ultrasound we could see her feet flinging all over!
I really need to get some rest so I can make her and my nephew a bear. Well, maybe forget the nephew....... LOL
I feel so loved that you all care about my precious peanut baby.
By George, this little girl will be making bears one day if I have a say in things... She'll have to come to bears shows with me!
I love that you called her your "peanut baby." My husband (at the time) and I called our wee fetus, "grommet," hoping he would be a great surfer someday. My girlfriend called her baby, "acorn."
Pregnancy is such a wonderful adventure, and what follows, even moreso. I'm so happy things are going well for you!
Apple Dumpling DesignsCongratulations Kirsten :hug: ...Enjoy it all because it goes by so fast...next thing you know they are all grown up. You're probably sick of hearing that already but it's sooooooo true.

Flying Fur StudiosBig congrats to you.
Such a gift you have

Rufnut Teddy'sWow Congrats Kristen, get all the rest you can and take care of yourself.
Kirsten I'm so happy for you. I just love the ultrasound picture. It's amazing what you can see, and so reassuring that there is actually someone inside there. Wait until she grows a bit more and starts to move around a lot. That is such a strange but wonderful experience watching her ripple across your belly. Or, having to push a limb out from under your ribs ! I loved being pregnant -except having to go to the bathroom all the time :lol:!
Enjoy it as much as you can .
