I give up on pictures

Ok I have sat here and tried to upload pictures. I have tried to upload them from picasa links. It just doesn't work. So you are stuck with a link to an album again. Sorry.

Anyway that album has some pictures of the decorations at the shower this weekend plus the nursery with the crib bedding in it. Enjoy.

Quick Update

Sorry. I have been really horrible about updating the blog. If you are on facebook, then you have probably seen some of these pictures but here are some nursery and u/s pictures. We are off to our first baby shower this weekend so I'll hopefully have more stuff to update the blog with. I also have some finished knitting to post but I haven't gotten an pictures yet. Ok so the nursery and the most recent u/s.

Enjoy!





Hmm I can't figure out why the u/s pictures aren't working. I'll have to work on those later. For now here is a link to the picasa album:

3d u/s

Babies babies everywhere

So my best friend just had her second girl yesterday. Another friend is due at the end of the month. In fact, there are babies due to arrive from now until November. So many babies this year.

We ordered the crib and glider from babies are us. The room is painted and we have the curtains hung. Next on the list is to find a ped.

I've been knitting a blanket for a friend and the baby sweater has been on break. I'll have to get back to it eventually.

Oh well not much really to report other then things seem well here. We had out first child care class last night. I think we aced swaddling and diaper changing. Although Kevin did point out he did it faster then me. :-) That's all for now.

More pictures

We had another u/s yesterday to check on the baby's growth. The baby is in the 30th percentile so on the small side. The doctor isn't worried but is going to keep an eye on the growth with likely at least one more u/s. The heartbeat was 157 bpm. The kiddo was sleepy. He/She was all curled up in a ball and didn't want to move. The tech said even if we wanted to know the sex she couldn't have told us. Pictures aren't as good as earlier but here you go:

It is a face!

Side/spine shot

Almost 24 weeks

Pretty basic boring appointment today. Everything looked good. Heartbeat was in the 150s. I got the paper work for the glucose test and for another u/s in 3 weeks. I am getting a little tired of the "Oh you don't look very big" comments. Sorry. I have no idea how big I should look. It definitely depends on the shirt I'm wearing I think. Doctor said I was within normal measurements. So I'm not real worried. I haven't gained all that much weight still which I'm happy about but the kiddo should start gaining a lot more over the next few weeks so I expect to see the pounds start to pack on a little bit more.

I don't think I ever posted this on any of the other updates but we are over half way there. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Actually according to my niffy iphone app, we have 16 weeks and 3 days or 115 days left to go. Maybe I'll go get one of those ticker count downs for the blog.

We had a party over the weekend for Kevin's graduation. Thanks to everyone who came and braved the massive downpours. Our vision of a sunny BBQ went out the window. We ended up with pizza and wings in the garage but at least we were dry. Plus the new Wii got a work out. Now if we could only stop fighting over who plays Zelda first. :-)

Back from vacation

Well I just enjoyed a beautiful week in Fort Lauderdale. It was awesome. :-) We did the beach, pool, air boat, water taxi, and lots and lots of food. It was pretty warm but I survived. Unfortunately, I am back at work now. I have put pictures up on picasa.

In other news, I started to feel the baby move on vacation. Kevin even felt a kick from the outside. So yes there is actually a baby in there and I'm not just getting fat. That or it is some wicked gas. ;-) Just kidding.

Appointment update

So we saw the doctor today. Everyone looks good. The baby's heartbeat was 160. She went over the results of the u/s last week. So as of last Wednesday, May 27th the baby was:

Measuring at 20 w 2 days
12 oz
In the 40th percentile for size (so not a huge baby but mostly average)
Had all the major parts necessary for life (heart, brain, etc)
The heartbeat at the time was 147


Plus we found out that placenta is anterior which explains why I haven't felt much moment. The placenta is acting like a little pillow and the kicks and punches aren't strong enough to go through it yet. So hopefully as this little one gets bigger, I'll starting feeling some activity. But all in all a very good appointment. We have our interview with a doula tomorrow. I'm hoping it goes well. And today is our 3 year anniversary. Can you believe it? 3 years. Go us. Love you hubby. :-)
