I can see clearly now....

This morning I could feel baby girl kicking quite a bit, so I looked down to watch and see if I could see anything, lo and behold I could see little tiny movements wherever she kicked! I love it! It is already amazing to be able to feel all her little movements but to see them is so amazing!

"20 Week" ultrasound

 We went in for our "20 week" ultrasound and appointment today. We are actually 21 weeks so we were only a week late :) Baby girl was being very difficult for the ultrasound she was moving around so much the ultrasound tech was having a hard time getting a good shot of anything. As soon as he would find a good shot she would move before he could take it. We almost got a cute pic of what looked like her trying to suck her thumb, but she decided to turn her head right before he took the pic. Silly girl. In the end we still got some very cute pics.



 Her cute little feet :)
The ultrasound tech pointed out her toes and said "look her 2nd and 3rd toe are longer than her big toe, does that look like anyones toes?" To which Spencer replied by pointing down to my feet. :) At least I know of one thing she inherited from me :)

 Her  arm and hand

 Definitely a Girl :)

 Part of her leg and foot

 Profile pic,  kind of a funny one, we got a few pics of her face/profile but she was moving around so much it was hard to get a good one.

  
and of course this one is my Favorite. Throwing down the Peace sign!
(no one believed me that this was real, oh but it is :) )

For my actual Dr. appointment we did pretty much the same old, check my blood pressure answer any questions we had and so forth. The fun new thing for me was measuring my belly. She said I am measuring two weeks  bigger than  I am  supposed to  be but she says that is normal so she isn't going to change my due date or anything. She also told me that after my next appointment I am going to start seeing her every two weeks instead of every four weeks. Which I am very excited about. :)

Acrobat

I feel like I have a little acrobat inside of me! The past two days I have felt her movements so much more! I am loving it! one minute I feel a kick on my left side, next thing I know I am getting a little thump on the right. She is moving all over the place. They still don't feel like kicks, still like thumps or like one description I read like popcorn popping. Either way it has been so fun to feel all her little movements all over the place, now if only she would move off of my bladder :)

Half way there!

Today I hit my HALF WAY mark! 20 weeks! At first it seemed like my pregnancy was going sooo slow but now it seems to be flying by so quickly. Almost too quickly that it kind of scares me a little...

                          At 20 weeks 
Baby...
  • weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. 
  • Is around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel 
  • Is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. 
  • Also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. 
Mommy...
  • My waist it measuring 36" around
  • Feeling so much better and have very few headaches!
  • I have become an insomniac again, waking up what feels like every hour, which leads to a very grumpy girl!
  • I have hit the point where I feel like I have to pee so much!
  • Baby girls movements are more noticeable! I  love it!

Baby Bump

We FINALLY got around to doing more Baby bump pics. I wanted to do them every four weeks at least, but life got so busy so here we are doing them TEN weeks later! Oh well I will be happy to have anything really. It will be fun to see even some of the progression!

Here is my (white) belly at 18 Weeks!



(I promise I am very excited to be pregnant, the first picture just shows one of my pregnancy symptoms...exhaustion!)
