Ultrasound

On Tuesday Pete went with me for my checkup and we had an ultrasound done :) The baby was pretty relaxed during the procedure and took a few good photos. We got to see the baby's heart, lungs and kidneys and everything is developing right on track! We are in the 52 percentile for growth and development so not too big and not too small - just right :) The baby weighed in at 1pound, 4ounces and appears to be as healthy as can be :) It was nice to have Pete there with me and for him to get to "meet" our baby.

I am including a couple of photos for you all to see. This first one is a nice profile picture - the baby even has it's mouth open a bit.
This second one is a nice photo of the baby's foot. Oh, so, cute! :) Hope you enjoy!!

Today starts week 23 so I'll include the baby's progress according to babycenter.com:

How your baby's growing: Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

Voting Time

Well, we have decided not to find out what we are having. We think it might be fun to be surprised and hopes it adds to the excitement a bit :)

So...with that being said, we need your help. We have found three different bedding types that we like for the nursery - all of them are neutral and super cute. We would like your help in picking out which one to get. Please cast your votes in the comment section if you would like to help out...

Week 20

Week 20 was off to a busy start! Pete had a guys night & went camping while I went to Cincinnati to see my best friend and her family! We both had a great time with our friends. I tried to get a photo of the guys but it was just too dark out there for them to get a decent photo :) I am including one of me and Jackie below...



Sunday we went to a wedding where I got my 20 week photo taken... I have really started to show over the past few days!! Here you go...
