Appointments, appointments, appointments!

Well next month seems to be an exciting month for OB appointments. I get to go to the normal wham bam, listen to the baby, thank you ma'am appointment on July 2nd. Then just because it sounds fun, I'm going to drink a cup of hummingbird food and then get stuck with needles on July 6th!

To end of July with a bang though, our 3D/4D U/S is on the 30th! I am pretty excited for this one... we will get to see MJs face and hopefully some of her features! I've seen them turn out really well, and some really creepy. I've heard the later you wait, the more fat and skin the baby will have, so it looks more like a person and less like an alien. Also waiting longer means the baby is getting pretty crammed in there with not a lot of room for movement. So I left it up the scheduling gods (the lady at the front desk) and she chose July 30th. The girl that did my last U/S said she will be doing this one too... which is awesome. She was SO nice and excited... not at all rude like I experienced before at the other place (the other place that my insurance actually pays for! Ugh!)

Thats all I've got for now! Baby MJ seems to be growing great seeing as how I can feel everything she does now. She still seems to get really excited between 7:30-8 pm , I cant figure that one out but its like clockwork every night!

Its a GIRRRRRL!

So baby Wallis is a little precious girl! Of course we would be happy either way - but its really neat to KNOW what we are expecting. Now I can go overboard on pink frilly things and cute little girl dresses.
The scans of the ultrasound pictures are kind of crooked... but they didnt turn out just great anyway. This ultrasound was much more comfortable than the last! She is still kicking my guts on a pretty regular basis... it seems like every evening right around 7:30-8 she gets very active and its almost non-stop kicking... Its just the best feeling ever! I never knew how much you could love a little person before you have even met them.

21 weeks...6 days

The baby is growing great... I got to hear the heartbeat today and it was 146. Dr. said everything looked perfect. I am having a completely normal uneventful pregnancy! I am so thankful for that! Next appointment is the glucose test which I am just oh so excited for. I decided on the orange flavor after much pondering over what the "cola" drink might taste like. So I guess for now , no news is good news! Just wanted to update and let everyone know that everything is still going good.

Just like its Daddy...

Well... the baby has started moving- and doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon. If you have ever met my husband... you'll know that he has restless everything syndrome... always moving! He is always tapping his foot or banging on things...seems the little one is following right along with that theme. I'm now feeling flurries of little kicks or punches , or dance routines all through out the day and night - it is pretty amazing.

Matt and I had decided a long time ago on a bedding set for our "future" baby. Then after we actually found out that I was pregnant, of course I started looking at a million different ones... but in the end we decided the first one is our favorite. Not to mention it is for a boy or a girl. Here it is...


Cute huh? It is also 100% organic cotton, which we have found to be the most comfortable bedding for ourselves so why not spoil the lil one?
