Adventures Around the House

2nd Ultra Sound

We had our second ultra sound today. Everything looks good again and we'll find out in a few days how big the baby really is compared to what is expected. The picture/screen was really fuzzy and she explained to us that the best ultra sound pictures are at 20 weeks. Then after that the baby gets crowded and the pictures aren't as good. We got to see a good profile this time and the baby's feet were up over its head. He/She was also constantly sucking on its fingers and wrists. Too cute. We saw all the major organs again and they seem to all be there, not that we really know what were looking at.

In the first picture, the baby is facing up and you can see his/her nose, arms, and hands. The second and third picture are the same...profile, ear, nose, open mouth, and hand going into/towards the mouth.

27 Weeks

Still feeling great! We have another ultrasound on Tuesday, so we're excited to see the baby again. Brandon and tons more of you have gotten to feel the baby move now too!

25 Weeks and Feeling BIG!

I've really started to feel the effects of carrying around a baby:) My belly feels huge, but I know I have a ways to go yet. I feel the baby moving around almost every night after I've been reading for about 15 minutes. Everytime I grab Brandon's hand to feel him/her, it stops!

Weekend in Chicago

This weekend we went to visit Maurie and Kelly in Chicago! We had a ton of fun on an Odyssey River Cruise, shopping, and going to the 96th floor of the Hancock building!

Baby Room Pictures...So Far

This weekend we got the walls painted, carpet cleaned, and the furniture put in the baby's room. Now to decide what goes on the walls....let's hope it doesn't take me as long as it did with the rest of the house to decide what goes up..."Hollywood" might be five before then!

23 Weeks...For Now

We got the results of the ultra sound and everything looks good. The baby is small (20th percentile), so there is a chance of moving my due date back. We get to have another ultra sound in 6 weeks.

My belly sure has started to grow...unlike the last few weeks. You can see a huge change and it is VERY clear that there is a baby in there! I still feel great.
