hmm

I wish Erik were home. He is stuck in Vegas for another couple of days. He dropped his phone and it broke so I can't talk to him either, just e-mail.

Jack has been moving around all day but only really when I sit down. I think this is my excuse to why I have sat on the couch all day. I didn't want to get up. I wanted to just sit here and embrace him moving around. These are personal times only me and him can have, but I wish Erik were here with me.

19w5d belly pic and 20 week appointment

So I went for my 20 week appointment today. Everything looks good and heart rate was good. He played a little hide and seek with the NP too. Find and then he runs away. She also had the results from the u/s yesterday. Everything is perfect. He was measuring a perfect 19w4d which is right where he should be.

Here is the 19w5d belly pic. I think I definitely notice a difference from last week.

A couple pics


We have a Penis!

It is a boy! It is so weird to talk about the baby now and put a gender to him. It is like right after you get married and it takes a while to get used to say "my husband". Same kind of thing.

I am so excited (I would be no matter what). So here is how it went down...

My appointment was at 0950. I wasn't sure about traffic and all of that and ended up getting there at 0910. I really had to use the bathroom, but wasn't supposed too. They told me they could take me back then. I was worried though because Erik wasn't there yet.

They told me that they had about 25 minutes worth of pictures and measurements to take anyways before all the fun stuff. I decided that that should be fine, since Erik was on his way. He took me back. Yes, my u/s tech was a guy and not bad looking either. Baby boy was breach and his head was behind my belly button. I kept feeling little bumps really low, so I didn't even realize that he could be that high.

After about 10 minutes he had me go use the bathroom in hopes that he would move around a little to get better pics. It worked a little bit. Then he had me go for a walk and go up and down the stairs a few times. By then Erik was there so we walked for a few minutes and told him what he had missed (not much). The walking worked. He completely flipped and was low. All the pictures were taken that the doctor needed. Then we got the fun stuff.

Couldn't get a good profile pic because he had his head turned away from us. We got the foot, legs, heart, arm, ect... At one point (before Erik got there) he had his hand up by his face. When the u/s tech went to get pics of his face, he started waving at me. It was so cute. A perfectly formed little hand waving at me.

I am so excited. I'll put pics up later.

Food cravings: Ribs, starburst, potatoes and lemonade <--- hasn't changed Gender: I think it is a boy and so does everyone else.

( o )( o )

I need a new bra. Badly.

I am wearing a 42DD and spilling out all over the place. Apparently I am going shopping tomorrow. The girls need way more support than they are getting now.

Debating



Debating whether to put a new belly pic up. I look the same. I don't think I have changed at all. Oh well. I thought that last time too.
