23 Weeks...

Well today I had my 23 week check up. Since the 21 week appointment I've had to go weekly to see the Dr. At the ultrasound the tech noted that there was a possible arrhythmia. I'm going to see a specialist at the beginning of July just to be sure... but we listen to his heartbeat every week and haven't heard any irregularities yet. It could have been caused by the diet coke I drank the morning of my ultrasound...oops! So now I'm off all caffeine and chocolate. 


Ricky is feeling him kick now! I get way more excited then he does... but he still is very excited about it. This morning when the Dr. was listening to the heartbeat with the doppler, he kicked the doppler a few times! It was so cute :) I love him!


Belly is getting bigger and bigger! I'm measuring 25cm now at 23 weeks which the dr. said was normal. I've been sick for a few days so I have to stay in bed til I feel better... dr's orders. I'm bored already! 


Next month when we see the specialist we are going to have a fetal echocardiogram... which is basically an hour-hour and a half long ultrasound. I'm excited to see him for that long! I hope I get more pictures!


We're going to be getting the baby furniture any day now and I can't hardly wait! I've been trying to put it off but I think it's getting time. He'll be here in less than 4 months! (well...hopefully) Right now he's weighing over a pound and is around 9 inches long. Almost half the length he'll be when he's born. 


Hope everyone has a great week!

20 Weeks! Halfway there....

Today I am officially 20 weeks pregnant! It feels like it came so quick, but I don't think it could come quick enough. I can tell Trip has grown a lot in the past week because I am starting to feel him wiggle around in there daily. Today especially though, he is a moving machine! As soon as I finished my bowl of cereal this morning he was swimming around. I have already felt him move at least 3 different times. I really can't explain how amazing that feeling is! I'm just happy to be able to feel him move early on so I know that he's ok in there. My next Dr. appointment is on Monday next week and I'll get to hear his heartbeat again! I'm also registering on Sunday so this week has a lot of exciting plans going on. My belly is getting so big and to be honest, I'm loving it! Probably in another month there will be no mistaking me for eating too many burgers :) At 20 weeks he is measuring around 10 inches! I can't believe he's already half the size he'll be when he's finally here. We are hoping to get the baby furniture in towards the end of the month. If I had it my way we'd have it in here today! Ricky can't wait til he gets to feel Trip kick from the outside. Hopefully it won't be long!

IT'S A BOY!!!

So today was our first ultrasound where he actually looked like a baby! He was moving around so much it was amazing to see. It definitely made the pregnancy feel more real. Now the real fun begins! We can finally start looking at things to buy and registering! This has been the best day so far of the whole 18 weeks of being pregnant. I can rest easy because he had 10 fingers and 10 toes! He looks perfect. We are so blessed.
