Well, it looks like everyone was right, its a girl! We had our anatomy scan a week ago and found out we will be buying lots and lots of pink (which of course I did on the way home from the ultrasound, and then again last week, and then my mom sent something pink...). It was so fun to see the ultrasound, at Noah's anatomy scan I wasn't allowed to watch, partly the angle and partly the ultrasound tech. This time I was able to watch the entire thing which was really fun. She kept moving and grooving and kicking away from wherever the tech wanted her, pretty funny for us but frustrating for the tech!! I have a few pictures but they are hard to make out and I am too lazy to scan them.
I feel great and other than when she is moving around a lot I pretty much forget I am pregnant...unless I look down of course! I am growing growing growing. Jordan got to feel slight kicks from the outside a week ago so that was really fun for him. They get stronger every day!
I ordered some bedding today too...pink and white damask sheets and a pink and green bed skirt. I looked at this same set the last time I was pregnant and drooled, now I acutally get to buy (some) of it. I have a green breathable bumper from Noah that I am going to use again since it will be summer when she is born, the bigger bumpers are just too hot in our house at that time. (plus they are safer, blah blah blah...) It works out because I got to spend less $ and it will fit in with Noah's blue and green room already.
Sheet pattern. It is more of a raspberry/bright pink like the color on the crib skirt picture (they are the same collection so will match).
Thats all for now, Jordan has been "marinating" corned beef in the fridge for the last 10 days or so and now its cooking...and smelling SO AMAZING. Can't wait to eat it tonight. I also made Irish Car Bomb cupcakes last week...it was a small consolation to the fact that I can't have a real one. At least I got to taste all the different parts :-) Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
I will try to get a good belly shot in a tight shirt this week. Noah is NOT interested in the sign, much to my dismay...and it is awkward to hold myself :-)
How far along? 20.5 weeks (I turn over on Wednesdays)
Total weight gain/loss: +4 lbs overall. (unofficial...I have to settle for Wii Fit until my next appointment 4/2)
Sleep: I have been sleeping pretty well, just being dumb and going to bed late. Noah wakes us up at 6am most mornings especially now that he can walk on in and poke me in the face until I respond!
Best moment this week: Stronger kicks.
Movement: Lots, felt from inside and ouside.
Symptoms: Nothing bad right now!
Symptoms I DON'T have: All!
Food cravings: Nothing. Jordan is very sad.
Food aversions: Nothing crazy right now, meat is ok but not preferable.
Gender: Girl!
Labor Signs: None yet, lets keep it that way
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Today, Guinness.
What I am looking forward to: A massage this afternoon and girls sheets to ship!
Milestones: 20 weeks. They officially will try to STOP pre-term labor now rather than let you miscarry :-D
So much fun info to share. You are looking great.
