22 Weeks

Hello all! I am 22 weeks pregnant this week! We had a great doctor's appointment today! It was just a typical "weight and heart rate" visit. My weight is right on track ( so far!), and the baby is doing great. He was SO active this morning that the doctor had to chase him around my belly to get a good heartbeat! She never did get him to be still enough to count it, but if he's moving around, he's fine! He just felt like being shy today. She said that everything looks great. We have our next appointment on April 10th! Maybe we'll get to peek at the little guy again soon!

In the meantime, here is my belly picture for this week. Per Mom's request, we have a full body shot included!

Belly shot! Holy crap! This is getting out of control!

Hopefully, we will be sharing a name with you all soon! Keep checking back with us!

The 50 Yard Line

Well, we are officially halfway there! I am 20 weeks pregnant this week! Everything is going well. I am still working, and we are having so much fun deciding on the nursery and names. We have not made a decision on the name as of yet, but we will let you know when we do! Matthew says that "Voltron" is still in the running, as are a few choice names that Jacob and Aleia picked out for us like "Gagondeep", and "Fitzy". So, we have a long way to go as you can see. :) But seriously, we are working on it. In the meantime, here is my 20 week belly picture:

Yes, I know I'm not in the same shirt, but this one turned out better! We hope you're all doing well! We will update again after our next appointment on March 31st!

It's A...

After our doctor's appointment today, we have some great news...











Thankfully, the ultrasound went great! The baby is doing wonderfully. All of his organs are perfect--no problems whatsoever! And he definitely was NOT shy about showing his "stuff"! He was, however, trying to hide his face! He was moving around the entire time! The tech was having to chase him all over the place! He did give us some great pictures though!






Introducing our little man weighing in at a whopping 8oz:








Showing his stuff!

And, just in case you didn't see it, here he is again! Frank and beans! :-)

This is probably my favorite picture so far. Check out the profile! You can see his nose, and even his lips!

Here's another head shot.

Here are a couple good pictures of his arms. You can really see that he's getting some meat on his bones!

This is a good one of his leg. He is so cute all curled up in there! Matthew said it looks like he's running out of room, but he sure can stretch if he wants to!

I am really feeling the little guy move around a lot now. It is the most AMAZING feeling! I love knowing that he's in there having a good time! I think he's making plenty of room for himself. See what you think:

18 weeks

All in all, we had a wonderful day yesterday! The doctor also told us that my placenta has "moved" slightly, which is great news!!!!!! Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and prayers! We truly appreciate it! We are so happy, and we love sharing with you all!

I'll update as I can! Keep checking back!
