Week 23

natalie's new big girl room (she's actually in the bed, but you can barely see her!)

Baby has been rockin and rollin like crazy! Matt has been able to feel baby's kicks and this past weekend I even saw movement on the outside of my belly. I'm still feeling good, getting a little more tired but that could also have to do with chasing a 2 year old around! Natalie is very excited about her new brother or sister, and talks about how she's going to be a very good helper when baby is born. She moved upstairs to her big girl room, and loves it up there. She says her new room is "totally awesome" so now we can get her old room turned into a nursery. I have a check up next week so I'll include those details in my next post!

20 Week Ultrasound

Matt and I were so excited to see our little peanut on the ultrasound! Even though we didn't find out the sex, we loved seeing baby squirming around, I think he/she was fist pumping in there! We got to see baby sucking and I love watching the heart beating too! The tech said baby is about 13 oz and 10-12 inches long. And she measured the foot and said it was 1 inch. :-) The heartbeat was 145 in the ultrasound room, but when we saw Dr. Sensor right afterwards the heartbeat was 158. My blood pressure is good 118/78, hopefully it stays low! I'm still feeling great, Natalie and I have been staying busy playing with friends and going to the Y. She is excited about her new baby brother or sister and calls it "her baby" and talks about how she's having a baby. It's really cute, she talks to baby in my belly and will sing songs, usually "Baa, baa black sheep" We have moved Natalie upstairs to the big room, and will slowly be working on getting the baby's room ready too.
