Week 20 - Ultrasound

Our little one was the star of "A Baby Movie" today. His/her comfy bed was shrunk early this morning when mom had to drink 3 big glasses of water, pushing a bulging bladder against its head. He/she was all cozy head down with the butt to the left of my belly button and the feet to the right. Heartbeat was 141 and weighs 10-12 oz. I think it was still tired because we saw a few big yawns and its hands were by its head/face and even a few fingers in the mouth! It was so fun to see the movement and the little feet kicking, although I still cannot feel any of that movement. The doctor said he/she is very active and responsive to the belly pokes :)

May 19th

We had our first ultrasound today! Chad and I both work downtown, so we were able to walk a few blocks over to the clinic on our lunch break. The technology was amazing and we were able to see our little tadpole and its heartbeat! They said based on its size and the forming of the head we were almost 7 weeks along - which puts my due date at January 7, 2010 (possible New Years Baby!) I have been feeling pretty good - really tired but I cannot complain. I stopped running, but still try to work out and walk at least 1 mile a day. Current cravings: strawberry anything, chicken noodle soup (NOT canned), burgers, sub sandwiches (I can't have deli meat), and of course other yummy things that all people love like ice cream and onion rings - so dont really think that counts as a craving!
