More Growing / Baby Moving

We're now at day 2 of week 21. I can feel her moving around now and then. You can't really tell from the outside yet, but I can feel her moving around inside, not sure exactly what she's doing. She's actually very active right now as I'm typing. John and his friend are playing a shooter game, maybe she wants to play too.

Otherwise, I can still wear the draw string capris pants. Normal shirts don't quite fit all the way around the belly, but I have enough maternity shirts now to make it between laundry days. The books say I'll gain about 1 lb every week from now until the baby is born. Yay, weight gain! Super! Fantastic! We put up some Registry links, you'll see them to the left of this screen under the Links heading. You don't have to send us anything, but you can if you want too. But anything, big or small, is very much appreciated.

Making the Crib look Fly

Well the baby wanted new threads for the crib, yo! So we went shopping and found a cute pattern that didn't have too much pink to it. Its Pooh Bear with his friends. Its mostly pink and green, but not a crazy amount of pink. The comforter's butterflies, leaves and flowers have an extra flap of cloth so that its more 3D and can be moved back and forth, which might be fun when the baby gets older. Well thats all we have for now, until next time ... :D

Latest Ultrasound

Well its been a long time, but the latest ultrasound pictures are here. The first news, which I'm sure you've all been waiting for, is an update on the babies health. The ultrasound that was used was pretty awesome, the have one on the ISS. It can show really great detail and there is a setting that lets you pick a color of moving fluid, while its moving on the screen. So, we got to see the tiny 4 chambered heart pump blood. The spine, kidneys and umbilical chord arteries all looked good aswell. Her, that's right HER, bladder was full during the ultrasound, as the doc pointed out on the screen. Now I'll go over what you see in the pictures. The first picture is the baby sucking her thumb, you can see some bones in her face and some baby back ribs, ha ha ha. The second picture is the baby with her fist under her chin (like the thinker). The third picture is a zoomed out picture of the baby, you can see the spine and most of the baby. I removed the fourth picture since it appears it was from a previous ultrasound and somehow they just gave it to us anyway. It was of a baby's foot, but I still gaurantee that she still does have feet. In case you've missed my subliminal messages, the baby is a girl. We are very happy that she's healthy and can't wait to meet her when she arrives. We will register for things and think of names now, we'll add a link to the registry to this site, if you're interested.
