20 Week Belly

There it is...my belly at 20 weeks pregnant! Slowly getting bigger!!

20 Week Ultrasound

Today we went to the doctor for our 20 week ultrasound (even though I THOUGHT I was only 19 weeks along). Our baby boy is already measuring to be a tall baby and he is already 11.5oz! This means that I'm further along than originally thought and my new due date is July 18th!! The technician said everything looks perfectly healthy (brain, spine, fingers, toes, stomach, mouth, bladder, heart, etc.) and that he has very long arms and legs just like his Daddy!! It is amazing to see him squirming around inside my tummy and I am becoming more and more excited to meet him! I posted almost all of the ultrasound pictures below!

His hands were up by his face most of the time today.

 Hard to tell, but these are both of his arms.

 He is just so cute!!

 It looks like his fingers are in his mouth.

 Profile again.

 And again.

 Look at that hand!

 Most definitely a boy...no question about it!

There are all five fingers!!

So happy to find out he is a perfect little baby (such a blessing)!! And I am so thrilled to find out that I am actually 20 weeks along (halfway)!! One half down, one to go!

Little Kicker

Last night I was just sitting on the couch when right below my belly button it felt like something flicked me from the inside out. A few seconds later it happened again. It took me by surprise because usually I just ignore any tummy grumblings, but this was definitely not indigestion. I finally texted my mom to see if what I was feeling could be my baby boy, sure enough she said it most likely was! So exciting because I truly didn't think I would feel him kick for at least another week! Feeling him move around is a little bit surreal. I am amazed at how my body is creating a little life inside of me and now that little life is kicking his mommy! :)

18 Weeks

I cannot believe I am already 18 weeks pregnant! I definitely look 18 weeks pregnant, but it still blows my mind just how quickly time flies! We have been keeping busy preparing for our baby boy and I can't wait for him to be here! We decided on a name, but we are going to keep it a surprise! Now I can finally finish his nursery - hang pictures, have mom do his bedding, hang curtains, paint letters for his name, etc.  We are officially done buying all of the big things so that feels good and now I get to buy the cute little outfits. I'm pretty sure I already own every single Utah Jazz onesie/outfit that has ever been made and I have also found a MILLION good deals at ROSS (5 Nike onesies for $7.99) and DI (10 NEW outfits for $20...it just takes some serious looking to find them). My mom has made quite a few purchases as well...she already got him little socks, church shoes, a Halloween costume and a bunch of other stuff she won't tell me about. He will be one spoiled baby!

The last few days I have been REALLY sick with a nasty head cold AND the pukes...my lucky weekend. It is only hard because I can't really take any medication so everything just hangs around longer. I even had to miss two days of work! Thankfully, I have an incredible husband who takes such good care of me and puts up with my whining/complaining. I guess I should just count my blessings because the rest of my pregnancy has been bliss!

Next week we go to the doctor for the big 20 week ultrasound (even though I'll only be 19 weeks). I can't wait to see my little boy moving around and hear his heartbeat (it always makes me breathe easier). Hopefully everything will be perfect! Updates to come!

16 Weeks

I am 16 weeks pregnant and definitely starting to show! I feel huge, but I know that I am only going to get bigger...before I know it I won't be able to see my toes!

Ignore the laundry room in the background...



It's A...

BOY!

I am 15 weeks along and we decided to go to the Fetal Photo Studio...I just couldn't wait! We also decided to keep it a surprise for both of our families and it was worth it! Baby boy is healthy and very sleepy! I had lots of orange juice and sugar in my system in hopes that he would be moving around during the ultrasound...not the case. He was sound asleep for the first few minutes so they made me poke around on my stomach to get him to wake up. It worked! We are SO excited and can't wait for him to be here! Now the task of coming up with a name...heaven help us!

This next picture is my personal FAVORITE! His profile:

And the frontal view of his face...so cute already!

I also had my doctor's appointment yesterday and I am still doing healthy as well. Still very low blood pressure like my mommy and I gained almost a pound. Baby Boy is also healthy, heart rate was at 162 bpm! My next appointment will be at the end of February and that will also be my next ultrasound! I can't wait to see our little boy again!
