22 weeks!

Wow, it just seems like time is flying by, its weird to think in just 4 months we will have our little girl to hold! Now I can't wait, but at the same time, she can stay put, safe and sound in there for now, it seems like there is still so much to do. But lately she has been quite active, more so than what I can remember with Daniel, and it seems its always at the times when I'm trying to nap, or go to bed, but I love the fact that now I can feel her more through the day, and not just when I'm laying down. But since my ultrasound nothing really new has happened, just the usual pregnancy stuff, the heartburn, the leg cramps, getting up every 2 hours through the night to use the bathroom, and it seems like no matter what I'm always hungry, but lucky for me I am actually craving healthy foods, all I want is fruit and yogurt, I could eat it all day, plus I don't know what it is but my face has even started breaking out, and I usually never have this problem, even with Daniel, but you always hear people say that when your carrying a girl they steal there moms look, or something like that, its probably not true, but I can still use the "its because I'm pregnant excuse" right?? Well things have been really smooth so far, and I'm hoping they stay that way, even with being so sick in the begining, I'm loving this pregnancy, and look forward to the coming weeks!

Its a GIRL!

So today I had my 20 week ultrasound, and everything went very smoothly! And we are having a healthy baby girl! We are also still on track and everything measured to be right on track, so no change to my due date! But to start off with I loved the person who did my ultrasound, she was very sweet, very professional and most of all took everything very seriously and made sure we did'nt leave out anything. She started with the babies head and looked at the brain and checked the size and was very pleased with how things looked. Next we went on to the spine, which I was a little scared at that point, but it was only within a few moments I heard her say everything looks very good and just as it should, she took quite a few pictures of the spine and was very pleased with what she saw, all the way from the top to the bottom. Then we moved onto the organs, and checked to make sure everything was there(and it was), we saw the bladder the kidneys, the stomach, and the heart. She also took quite a few pictures of the heart and checked to make sure things were working as they should, checked the 4 chambers and all the parts of the heart, the heart was beating at about 148 bpm. Then we moved on to check for the gender of the baby, and she was being a stubborn little one(already like her mother) for awhile she had her foot in the way and we could'nt get a clear picture, then as soon as she moved her foot away she put her hand right in the way, so once again we couldn't get a clear picture, but then finally after a little poking at my belly we got her to move and got a nice clean shot. Yep its a girl alright! So I must say after this visit and being able to see the baby and make sure things were progressing the way they should, I felt a whole lot better. So this visit was once again a success!
