I am in the 27th week of pregnancy this week. Since my last post, we found out that we are having a baby BOY. At the 20 week ultrasound they do a full anatomy scan and you get to see everything. We saw his organs, spine, other bones, face, etc. The doctors say that so far everything looks perfect. I go in again this week for a routine test for gestational diabetes- lets hope I don't have that!
So for some updates...
I started feeling the baby kick around 17 or 18 weeks. Its a pretty strange feeling at first- sort of like you are not really sure if you are feeling the effects of that spicy burrito or maybe its something else... after 2 days I decided that it couldn't have been the burrito! Every week the kicks get stronger and stronger. I'm sure that by the end of this I will be getting tired of getting kicked, but for now it's a nice reminder that he is safely tucked away in there.
Like I said, we had an ultrasound at 20 weeks. Here are some pics!
This one is the "Money Shot" lol. The technician informed us that either this is a BOY, or a girl with three legs. I am going to go with the BOY option :) She also said that our Boy is not shy because unlike some more modest babies, he flashed us a good 10 times so there is no doubt that we have a boy on our hands.
Here is a pic of his face. You can also see his spine. I think this picture is kind of creepy, but my Mom loves it. Says she thinks it looks like Josh wearing sunglasses.
Here is one of his legs and feet.
In May I made several trips home to WI which was nice. My Mom was in Indianapolis for work so I went down there and we had a nice dinner and did some baby shopping. Came home for that weekend and my Dad came down to visit and pick her up. We ordered the crib and dresser that weekend which came the next week. Took a trip to Raynham MA for work and had a great time there. Met up with one of the girls I met online on the Nest while wedding planning- Hi Casey! and also had dinner with my friend Amber who I have not seen in years. Went home again in June for my first baby shower which was awesome. This baby is already so loved! We have been working on his room which I am going to wait until it is finished to post any pics. We celebrated our first wedding anniversary last weekend- Can't believe how fast this year has flown by. I feel so lucky! This weekend (4th of July) we are visiting Josh's family in Pittsburgh. Everybody has been very excited to see the baby bump!
I guess I will leave the update at this for now. I am really seriously (hopefully) going to try to resume the weekly updates.
27 weeks Cauliflower- starting to scare me that the last picture in this series is a PUMPKIN. Excuse me, something roughly the size of a pumpkin is going to come out of where now?!?
