18 weeks - Belly pic

My belly is really started to grow! I still have only gained about 1/2 of a pound according to the scale... I am sure it will catch up with me soon!

Only 18 days until our 3d ultrasound where we should be finding out if it is a boy or a girl!

And Chris and I have made some progress with the nursery - pics coming soon...

16 week check up

We had our 16 week check up this morning and we heard the heartbeat again. 150 beats per minutes. Perfect.

It has a little less novelty to us now, because we have actually bought a doppler and we listen to the heartbeat at home often - just to make sure everything is okay.

So far I have gained -1 lb. in weight... and I am beyond shocked. I actually weight one less pound now than I did when we first got pregnant. The midwifes say that is perfectly fine - not to worry, I will gain weight...

The first of the belly pics:

4 weeks, 5 days

12 weeks, 4 days

16 weeks, 3 days

So - there it is!

Our next appointment is on January 5th. We will be getting a 3D sonogram and hopefully finding out the sex of this baby.

I hope everyone is well!

ps - we have about 4 inches of snow on the ground and more coming this weekend. It is a winter wonderland!

Nursery Ideas

I am still wavering between two different nursery ideas:

Idea #1

Idea #2

Decisions, decisions.

I will need to decide in the next few weeks... the simplicity of #2 is calling to me today.

The First Sounds

On November 10, 2010, we have our first midwife visit to listen to the baby's heartbeat.

We are so happy to in the 2nd trimester.

Our First Look

After a day of feeing no pregnancy symptoms at all, I made an appointment for our first ultrasound.
