Yes, it has been far too long since we've updated and posted anything on our blog. To be honest, there wasn't a whole lot going on with the baby, other than just getting bigger! I went through the mid-stage where I still didn't feel movement, but just started to grow. However, the movement is there now! (The baby is actually saying hello at this moment!) It is SO fun to be able to feel the baby moving around and have the little taps of a kick! When I was lying down flat, my mom was able to feel it move about a week ago, but Phil has yet to feel it (He was turkey hunting at the time, so I don't feel bad for him....). Since then, every time the baby has started to move around, it's not in a position to actually feel it from the outside. Hopefully it will happen soon though!
I am now officially at the point where I cannot see my toes anymore! They are gone!! I guess this means pedicures for the summer, eh? I am feeling great though and can't wait for our level 2 ultrasound tomorrow! We are SO excited to see detailed pictures of our little one! We will post them as soon as we have a chance to scan them in. I will also update the belly pictures too. I took a few pictures at 19 weeks, but they never made it up. I PROMISE that we will do a better job in the coming weeks! We're now done with 21 weeks... time is flying by!!
We had fun registering at Babies R Us and Target this past weekend. What an experience that was! As we started the process, Phil was quite surprised by how many things such a little person needs! As you look at our registry, you will notice a few things that I most likely did not add while I was in charge of the scanner....perhaps a Twins baseball hat, Twins jersey, Twins pacifier and clip..... :-) Our little one sure will be cute when he or she is watching those games with Dad! It was great fun, but more will be added to our lists, as we realized when we got home from the baby wonderland that important things like burp cloths and mattress waterproof covers weren't on the list!! Too many things to take in all at one time, I guess!!
After our ultrasound tomorrow and my regular doctor's appointment on Wednesday, we will let you know more about our little one!
What a cute foot!! You can count the little toes!!!
Here is the baby's face. Yes, it looks a little alien-like, but it was because of the contrast they had set on the machine. There were better pictures, but he or she is already dancing!
What a wonderful profile! The little "bubble" you see above the baby's chest is the umbilical chord. You can also see the four little chambers of the heart (the darker area just below the chord).
Here is as much of the baby as they could fit onto the screen! And no, you cannot tell the gender in this picture! It even went in our file as "not disclosed" so our doctor doesn't even know! I'm going to make her guess and predict one of these days.....
