Baby's Hands & Feet

It's a.....

....BOY!!! Jason & I are so excited to finally know that we're expecting a healthy baby boy in the Spring! Now we can start planning on how to decorate the nursery, and buying clothes! :)

I managed to gain quite a bit of weight between this appt. and my last one, so it's obvious that our baby boy likes to eat! :)

Belly Pic at 21 weeks

Tomorrow's the big day!

If the baby is cooperating, we'll find out if we're going to have a baby boy or a baby girl, as well as make sure it's organs are developing correctly.

I'm still feeling pretty good, but the extra weight is making daily tasks a bit more difficult! As of now, I think I've gained about 15 lbs, which is right around where I should be.

Belly Pic

This was taken around 18 weeks (so about two weeks ago)... More to come!

Finally!!

Ok, so I think I finally felt the baby move yesterday morning! While J was getting ready for work (at the crack of dawn) he dropped something, and startled me out of a sleep, and I swear I felt the baby "jump" immediately afterwards! I've felt the same similar movement a few more times, so I'm pretty sure that's what it was! :)

Belly button vent

Ok, first of all, where in the world did my belly button go???? Seriously!!!!

Second, when, oh when will I feel our baby kick?? The dr. said I will feel something by our next appointment, which is two weeks from today!

Let me rewind a few months....

....to get you all up to speed! After almost three grand years of marriage, Jason & I decided to try to have a baby. Well, you know when you've heard that it may take a while for contraceptives to get out of your system, thus taking a bit of time to actually get pregnant? Don't believe it!! It happened much quicker than we ever dreamed! We were thrilled, but nervous at the same time. My pregnancy has been really pretty easy so far; no morning sickness to speak of, no real food adversions (except for chicken breasts & avocado :)), and not much tiredness! The baby has, however, developed quite an appetitie for brownies, and sweets in general! Now that I'm into my second trimester, the mid-afternoon need for a nap has subsided, and food is tasting good again (food didn't necessarily make me sick, but nothing tasted good). I am happy to finally be showing instead of just feeling thick around the middle! We'll post some pics soon! My next dr's appointment is in two weeks, in which we'll find out the sex of the baby, hopefully. What a fantastic Christmas present!!!
