25 Week Ultrasound

Hello everyone.  We had our 25 week ultrasound yesterday and everything looks great!  Only 15 more weeks to go!  Starting to panic a little bit about everything that still has to be done before she arrives!  Also, I had Eli 5 weeks early, so I'm a little worried she will decide to come early too.  I guess I just have to relax and take everything as it comes.  :)  Enjoy the ultrasound pictures.  I had a new tech this time and she took a bunch for me!! 

24 Week Appointment

Had a checkup yesterday.  Baby's heartbeat is in the 150's which is excellent!  She is moving all over the place all day long!  I just love it!  It is the best feeling ever!  My doctor said I am carrying this pregnancy much different than the last.  I am all up front this time.  I am huge!  LOL I have an ultrasound with MFM next week, so I will post another update after that appointment along with some utlrasound pictures!!  I hope I can keep my anxiety in check until then!  :)

P.S.  Notice that I called myself huge?  It's OK if I call myself huge, but just a word of advice -- it is not nice to say to a pregnant woman that she is huge!  LOL  It is very hurtful!  Especially other women that have been pregnant, I would think they would remember what it is like to be HUGE and not want others to point it out all the time! 

P.S.S.  My belly is not free for anyone to touch!  LOL  Sure I don't mind my husband, my mom or other CLOSE family/friends touching it, but just random people... not cool!  How would you like it if I started rubbing your belly?  It just creeps me out!  I also love how people ask if they can touch it... because what am I suppose to say?  I look like a total witch if I say no!  LOL 

Thanks for listening to my vents...  :-P

Baby Registry

On Saturday Nick and I decided to get a head start on the baby registry.  We went to Babies R Us.  It was soooo overwhelming!  First of all, it was packed!  And there is just so much to look at!  I have been doing research online forever for the big items, so I thought I was well prepared, but once we got there we both felt pretty overwhelmed.  I think we registered for everything we need... I HOPE!  We are planning to have the baby shower in March, so I still have lots of time to make changes if needed.  I'm super excited about the travel system, play pen and high chair that we regsitered for.  We tried to keep the big items gender neutral so that we can use them for our future babies :)  but it is so hard not to buy all the little pink items!  So cute!

22 Weeks

I cannot believe how much bigger I am this pregnancy than I was last time!  Here is a comparison at 22 weeks.  And why does pregnancy have to bring on the double chin?!?  LOL  It will all be worth it in the end! :)

21 Week Appointment

Another great appointment!  My two favorite words = BEAUTIFUL KIDNEYS!  Baby has beautiful kidneys and lots of fluid!  The tech said that she is the best baby ever too!  LOL  Every time the tech asked her to move or change positions, she did LOL.  However, she told me she can't guarantee that she will be this good once she is born.  :)

I have been feeling so much movement lately.  It is the best feeling in the world!  She is a feisty little thing!  :)

Here are some ultrasound pictures to enjoy. :)

I'm a girl!

The nursery is coming along too!  We bought some curtains and a light switch plate to match the bedding set (see pictures below).  They are much prettier in person than in the pictures.  Nick won't let me buy anything else until after the baby shower now. :(  It's so hard, but it will be here before I know it.  Only a couple more months!  

That's all for today...  I will post an update again soon!  :)
