20 Weeks

I had the anatomy scan this week. It was so cute to see you. Part of me was nervous that you had sprouted a penis over the last two weeks, not that I don't want to be a boy (but oh am I excited that you were a girl), but what a sad boy you would have been because it was so obvious a girl. But you still a girl. And a healthy girl for that matter. I brought home the dvd of ultrasound. Maggie loved seeing you kick your legs, and your dad was like, "wow, we are really having a baby". He has been so busy that he forgets. This was a good connection for your dad.

Ultrasound Pictures

I want to share the ultrasound pictures that we have taken of you so far. Sorry these aren't scanned in. I have been putting it off and figured that I better just take a picture of them otherwise I might never post them, and I really want you to see how you grew.

Week 8: Very first picture that your dad took of you to make sure there was only one baby. Thank goodness. 

Week 9: First appointment with the doctor.

Week 13: After this appointment, we begin telling our friends.

Week 20: Anatomy scan and everything is healthy

Well, I had my first person asked if I was pregnant. It was Sister Massie in the ward, she knows me pretty well and is not on facebook so she didn't get the memo when I announced. She just came right up to be in the froyer and asked if that was a baby bump. I feel like I am not big enough for people to straight up ask me, but at the same time, it felt good for someone realized that I am not getting fat.

People keep asking me how I feel. I feel great. I have more energy (I don't have to take as many naps). All the hip pain at the beginning is gone. I can sort of feel you move (if I am really still and hold my breath). Your dad felt you move this week for the first time, and I was really excited for that. It is hard to believe sometimes that you are really there because this is the just wait and get bigger phrase. In our baby clip this week, the kids learned that you can start hearing these, so they sang you Twinkle Twinkle and the ABC song.
