20 week Ultrasound

We had our 20 week ultrasound this morning and have our first pictures of the baby! There were 10 fingers and 10 toes so everything was looking good. In the picture on the top you can see a good profile of the baby's face. The left arm is up above the baby's head and they are sort of laying on the right arm. We spent all day yesterday watching a golf tournament so I told Shelly the baby is doing it's best Tiger Woods fist pump impression. The picture on the bottom is one of the tiny little feet! Right now the baby is breeched so it's feet are pointing down. The doctor said it wasn't a big deal because there is plenty of time left for it to get into the right position. We didn't find out the sex so it will be a big suprise when the baby is born. The ultrasound tech said even if we wanted to find out it would have been tough because the baby's legs were tucked up against it's butt. The baby wasn't very active but there were times when you could see the baby moving around. Right at the end of the ultrasound we could see the baby trying to put it's hand in it's mouth! The doctor said all the measurements checked out good and that the due date is staying the same. The baby is a whoppig 14 oz. right now and the femur is 3cm or a little over 1 inch long. Tuesday is the start of week 21 so we are over halfway through the pregnancy. We took the next picture of Shelly's belly so that picture will be up sometime soon.

Shelly's Belly Part 2!

Here is the second installment of Shelly's Belly. This picture is about a week old. As you can see her belly is slowly starting to pop. We just got done shopping for some new pants for Shelly. Her jeans are starting to get a little tight. When she was trying on pants they had a pillow for her to wear that simulated a big pregnant belly. She started laughing when she put it on. A lady in the store laughed at her and said "this must be your first baby!"

Second OB Appointment

I went to my second checkup this morning. Everything is going great! I am finally getting over the feeling sick and starting to enjoy being pregnant. I got to hear the baby's heart beat again, it was at 154 beats. I am at 17 weeks with no weight gain but some how my pants are not fitting anymore.
Our next appointment is in four weeks. We can't wait, we will have our first ultra sound. We have agreed that we are not going to find out what the sex of the baby is. So it will be a big surprise!!
