20 weeks 2 Days- Anatomy Ultrasound

Had my 20 week anatomy scan this morning. It's still a girl!! Whoo hooo! I needed that reassurance!  There was just a tiny piece of me that didn't believe it the first time, and I was only 16 weeks along, so it's still a little early in the gender game.  But the tech reassured me and showed me the proof this time.  

Brian was able to attend this ultrasound which was great.  We got some profile shots, the "It's a girl" shot and some feet.  We did get to see every little part of Baby Girl.  Everything looked great.  The doctor still needs to analyze the pictures.  Baby Girl was not cooperating totally, so there is a chance I might need to go back for better pictures.   The tech tried to do 3D image but Baby Girl was too close to the placenta to get a good picture, so maybe next time. Very excited that I get to see her again at 24, 28, 32 and 36 weeks.  With the boys, the last scans of them were at 20 weeks.  

I am feeling pretty good. Enjoying feeling Baby Girl (we are waiting until she is born to share the name!) moving around constantly.  Even in the middle of the night it's enjoyable!  I did something to my ankle on Friday...and by something I think I rolled it while heading to John's Baseball practice after work in heals. It bothered me all weekend and I can't get anything on but flip flops as the ankle is pretty swollen.  Hopefully a few more days and we are back to normal. I am use to swollen feet in my pregnancies, but not this bad (and painful).

Here are some of the shots we got today:

The "It's a girl shot"

20 Weeks ..... AKA "Half Way"

Today marks the half way point in my pregnancy. It's amazing how fast it's going. Time could slow down a little bit! Feeling good, besides the swollen feet/ankles, I don't have any complaints. The boys felt the kicks for the first time last night. I wish I could of captured a picture of Shane's expression. It melted my heart seeing his eyes get so wide with delight. Just saying over and over " Momma I felt a kick, I felt her kick". It was truly a magical moment. John got to feel it as well. And although he was excited, he didn't "show" it.

A little snap shot of our week: enjoying park days as the weather is finally starting to warm up, some skate park fun, relaxing, learning new techniques in Hapkido (both boys earned their second stripe this week), 20w shot, baseball practice.

Looking forward to the week ahead: anatomy ultra sound on Monday and a few baseball and soccer games!!

19 weeks

Here we are at 19 weeks. Felt baby's first kicks this week. It is the greatest feeling and I stop everything I'm doing to enjoy every second of it. Baby is growing bigger and stronger. A little over a week to go before my 20w Anatomy ultrasound.

Round and Round We Go

18 weeks

Growing, growing, growing. I guess it's side sleeping time as laying on my back causes me to have an accelerated heart beat and feels like I can't breathe. OB appointment later today.
