Wow, 20 weeks.....wow. I had my doubts about even getting pregnant and now I am half way through. I am still in awe of this whole process everyday. Every ultrasound (and there are many), every kick in my belly (even in the middle of the night or very early in the morning), every ache/pain/contraction will be all worth it soon!
To update....my cervical lengths this week went well. Monday it was 3.3 and today it was 3.4, so all is good there. Today was supposed to be our gender ultrasound (but we found that out 6 weeks ago) so it was just another ultrasound. They checked to make sure he had all of his organs (kidneys, heart, stomach, bladder, etc) and he did. He was actually quite cooperative today (usually he isn't, he wants to move around too much). And get this....he is still a boy...he even showed us!
This was the first thing we saw, as if to say "hi mom and dad"!!
Saw more than just his "thing" today....
Love this picture, his cute little feet :)
Right when the lady needed to measure his leg bones he stretched one leg out for her...good boy!
Waving bye! See ya next time :)
My doctor appointment after the ultrasound went well too. I was excited to actually see my doctor since recently she has been out of the office or not on call when I have needed her! How dare she have a life ;)
She was glad to see my cervical length is stable. She also made me feel better but just saying she understands how nervous and scared I am and she is here for me whenever...I just love her! She is a little concerned with my weight gain (or lack of). My pre-pregnancy weight was 104 lbs and I am just now at 107. The baby's growth is still fine, but she is worried. I feel like I am eating enough, but maybe I am not. I really thought gaining weight while pregnant would be easy...guess not! She is having me keep a food log for the next week to see where I can improve. Hopefully she can give me some ideas :)
In other news, here is the belly shot everyone is anxious to see...I feel huge and I know I am not even close to that yet!
Also, the nursery is coming along. We finished painting and putting up the chair rail. Now we just need mattresses and bedding stuff....and a little decoration.
What you see when you enter
The crib and my rocking chair that was my grandma's. The stuffed animals on it are mine and will be put somewhere.
The changing table
The dresser
My Scentsy warmer with the "newborn nursery" smell (it smells like baby powder)...thanks Meg!!
Grandma Janet has been hard at work....shopping :) There would be more but Matt won't let me buy anything :(
That is all for now...will update next week after my doctor appointments!
