Hooray! We finally made it past our 20 week ultrasound! A lot has happened since our last update! The baby looks great on ultrasound and is growing according to schedule even though mom's weight gain is a little behind. It was really hard to decline finding out the sex of our little one, but we got through it... and Kyle was even a little disappointed when we left! The baby was hiding it's face for the majority of the ultrasound so we didn't get any really great pictures, but we got to see him/her sucking their thumb and swallowing.... and then hiccupping! It was amazing! Kyle had been trying to feel the baby's movement for a couple of weeks and was very discouraged (the baby would stop moving as soon as he put his hand on my belly.... of course). The ultrasonographer was poking and pushing at the baby to try to get some good pictures, and the baby was so upset by the time we were done that it was kicking like crazy... and dad finally got to feel it move!
Baby is moving all the time now. It seems like it sleeps when I am active and is active when I am trying to sleep/rest ... a good indication of the months to follow I suppose! This weekend marks the beginning of our 22nd week, time seems to be flying by so quickly! We are slowly chipping away at the nursery, but we are still missing a lot of the essentials. The decorating part is pretty much done, as you can see from the pictures, but we still have a lot of work to do, and a lot of things to buy!
That's all for now, more pictures soon! Thanks for stopping by!
Love, Baby & Me
