Well...It's Definately A Baby!!

Hey Everyone,

I'm 20 weeks today. That means 50% of the way through the pregnancy!!!

We had our 20 week appointment and ultrasound yesterady. Everything went well. I'm gaining a little weight, and all the vitals looked good. I also got my flu shot, so I'm feeling a bit yucky today. The baby is about 7 inches and about 1 pound now. Here are some ultrasound images (I think you can enlarge by clicking on them):

The baby has been moving a lot and we can feel/see it from the outside!! It has also been really low and making me a bit uncomfortable, especially when I walk around. It's too early to be hurting mom...baby had better be good the rest of the pregnancy! Here is a belly shot...
This weekend I am going to try to decide on a color scheme for the baby's scrap book and get the materials to start the thing. I've been putting it off, but should try to get it done before the holidays. Afterwards will probably be pretty busy, then baby will be here before we know it!

Last night Andy and I agreed on a boy and girl name=). Sorry folks, it's gonna be a secret until baby gets here!!

That's about all for now

Your First Movements!

Well, the little baby in my belly is 17 weeks old now. The other night, and again this morning, we were able to feel the baby kick...from the outside!!! I don't remember exactly when we felt Joey move for the first time, but this seems earlier. My tummy is getting bigger and bigger and I'm already into full time maternity pants! Here is an interesting comparison...

This is my belly shot from 16 weeks...

This was my tummy at 16 weeks with Joey..This was me at 18 weeks with Joey...

And at 24 weeks with Joey...

I may have as big of a tummy now as I did at 24 weeks last time! They say it gets bigger, faster the second time around...I guess they weren't kidding!

We have our ultrasound at the end of the month. I'll put up pictures and a new tummy shot then!

Hey everyone,
I'm 16 weeks now and doing good. The night sickness is pretty much over and I'm less tired than before. I don't fit into my regular pants any more as you can probably tell by the picture. My belly is growing faster than with Joey...but they say that happens with #2! Our doctor appointment was last week and everything sounds good. The heartbeat was in the 150's. People ask if that's the same as Joey's, but he was high and low depending on the month. I guess we'll just have to wait a few more months to see if we get a sissy or bubby for Joey.

Our next appointment is at the end of this month and we get to have the 20 week ultrasounds done. They'll do the regular type and also the 4-D so we'll see video of the baby and have more 3-D pictures to show you. So stay tuned for that!!!

That's about all for now, it's time to eat again=)

Oh, and I started a mini-registry at Babies-R-Us of all the little things we need replaced from when Joey was born...;) Gearing up for baby #2 just isn't as exciting since you don't get showers and you already have all the baby necessities...
