Half Way There!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I hope this post finds everyone well. Time is surely flying over here, I can't believe that I'm 20 weeks TODAY!!!!

On January 13th we went for our 19 week ultrasound. Both grandma's came with us. It was awesome because she has changed so much in the last month. My friend Kristy who is 5 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy told me to have a little sugar before I went so that she would move around more. Well that was a BAD idea :). Not really but man was she CRAZY!! She was moving everywhere, the ultrasound tech asked if I ate before I came and I said yes I had some chocolate. She asked in a curious tone if I ate chocolate often. I laughed and said not usually. It took a little bit to get some of the measurements but she was able to get everything. Everything went well, she is measuring right on schedule. The good news is all 4 chambers of her heart are looking great! We will still be going for an fetal EKG in about 3 weeks. This will look more in depth at her heart.

In other news I ordered her bedding last week. Absolutely adorable. It's pink, green and white with paisley and poke a dots. Tony and I are going to start registering this weekend and my mom and I are going to take a trip to look at baby furniture. Kristy and I signed up for a class to help teach our dogs how to cope with a new baby in the house. Tony and I are taking birthing classes in April and plan on taking a CPR class in March. The more prepared we are the better :).

Thanks for reading!!!

18 Weeks and Counting

Hi Everyone!
Tony and I went for our 18 week appointment yesterday. Everything went good. It was just a check up. Her heart beat is 150 BPM, the doctor says that's great! We got some reading materials on taking birthing classes. We also got a list of pediatricians that my doctor's office recommends, but we don't have to use any of them. They suggest that we interview a few before we decide who we want. Does anyone have any suggestions? Other then that a pretty low key appointment.

I noticed today that I've popped a bit more, which is crazy since it's only been two weeks since my last picture :). I've had a few back pains and some dull pain in my hips, but nothing that I can't handle. My doctor said all of that is completely normal.

We've been looking around for furniture and bedding for the room. There are so many things to pick from, it will be a difficult decision. Any suggestions would be great!

Next week is the big ultrasound, so look for a posting after that!

I hope everyone had a great New Year!

Take Care!
