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.

Ultra Sound Pictures....Sucking Thumb

You can "kind of" see the baby's profile, but it has its thumb in its mouth. You can see some of the fingers and arm here as well. Enjoy!

They said the baby is about 10 oz. and the head is 2 inches wide. We saw both sides of the brain, the four sections of the heart, and both kidneys. We didn't get to see a good profile because he/she always had hands in the mouth! Oh, and we also saw the jaw moving and sucking on fingers. Very weird and awesome at the same time.

Ultra Sound Pictures....Spine

Here you can see the baby facing down towards my back and the baby's spine is right under my belly button. In the bottom picture, you can see the baby's legs curled up under her/him. The big white spot is nothing...just the flash of the camera!
