28 weeks!

The Belly: "Now you see it... Now you don't"

We had our ultrasound and doctor visit yesterday. The doctor said everything looks great. The baby is growing well and so is Mommy : ) I gained 7 pounds this month... yikes! The doctor said it is normal to have a spike in weight gain between weeks 20 and 28. It should slow down. She said I have gained a healthy amount of weight in total so far. She is pleased so I am too. Since I just started the 3rd trimester, I now have to visit the doctor every two weeks.

As you can see from the picture, my belly is growing a lot! The baby has gained a pound in the last month. He is now 2 pounds 4 ounces! He looks so comfy in there. We caught him smiling. The ultrasound picture we got was a 3D picture. The tech was in a rush so she snapped a picture of his face when it looked all smushed and distorted, but he was smiling so we are happy with it. We'll post it really soon. We'll get a better picture next month. During the next ultrasound (in 5 weeks), we'll get an idea how much he will weigh at full term. We are very excited!

3D/4D Ultrasound!

We went for our ultrasound today and got a picture of the baby's face in 3D! He is 1 pound, 5 ounces and growing! : )

Week 22!

I was told that we should post pics more often as the belly changes quicker over the next few months. Here are some new pics. Does anyone recognize that bridge Joe and I are standing on?

Week 20!

We can't believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by! Sorry we haven't posted in a while. A lot has happened in the past weeks. The baby is getting bigger... and so is Mommy. We had two ultrasounds since our last posting. At about 16 weeks along, we found out the sex of the baby (as most of you know by now)... it's a boy!! We are very excited! Here are a few pics. Mommy and her growing belly and lil' man and his parts. The picture on top is the baby sitting with his knees bent and his hand rubbing his face. The next picture is his bottom with an arrow pointing to his lil' man parts in the middle. The last picture is, of course, Mommy and her growing belly : )

Week 13!

Everything is going well. I had my monthly check up yesterday. We heard the baby's heartbeat! I gained three pounds... yay. Everything looks healthy. My belly is getting bigger. So is Joes :) He has a sympathy appetite. In a few weeks we'll find out the sex of the baby. We'll keep you all informed. xo

Great News!

This is week 5...

We are very excited about our great news! Our due date is July 23, 2009. We had our first doctor's appointment last week, and everything looks good. We are scheduled for our first ultrasound Monday, 11/24/08. We'll keep you all informed.
