22 Weeks!

We started off our day with an appointment with our Perinatalogist. Everything looked great! Baby boy was moving all over during the ultrasound, so we didn't get very many good pictures. He printed a lot but they only gave us two, and those two weren't very good. Momo said that she didn't like the one that was a close up on his face, and neither did we really. All you could see were the bone structures, which looks a little scary. So we won't post that one. :( We were able to get very brief glimpses of what he looks like, and he was super cute! It was just that a second later he would move, or the Dr. would move and then we would see just bone structures again. Maybe next time we'll get a better look at him. Speaking of this ultrasound, it hurt! The doctor wasn't pushing all that hard on my belly, but it was sore when he was doing it. I couldn't believe it! Anyhow. Here is the other picture we have of him. It's a profile shot, but of course he is turning away!

He is growing great! He is now 1 pound 2 ounces!!! Isn't that crazy!!! I think that's really crazy! Mom has officially gained 15 pounds at this point. Don't really know where all that weight is going, but as long as he is getting what he needs I don't care. He is moving ALL THE TIME. I have been on the receiving end of some really crazy kicks, and so has Dan. Some have even been painful and made me jump. He keeps switching positions in there. This time he was breech. I knew he was hanging all on the right side of my belly, because that side is noticeably bigger than the left. I was correct! He was basically sitting up on the right side with his legs stretched out to the left side, and his little booty sitting at the bottom. :) It is still super early and he still has lots of room to move, so there is absolutely no concern with him being breech. So don't worry! Dr. Reiter checked his neck for a goiter and there was nothing! So still doing great there, please continue praying that there will be no goiter development at all. His heart rate was in the 140's, nice and healthy. So he looked wonderful and I have my next ultrasound scan in 4 weeks.

I am looking more and more pregnant everyday, which I love. I feel wonderful, besides the occasional heartburn or sleepless night. It is really weird to be trying to go to sleep, and feeling him move all over my belly. A bit distracting to say the least. BUT I LOVE IT. Dan and I are working hard at getting as much prepared as is possible for us too. We are still working on completing our registry. This is a lot more work than we were thinking it would be. We have a great time doing it, but can only do it for a couple of hours and then we MUST leave. I have to get out of there because my feet are throbbing and I'm starving. Dan needs to leave because he gets completely overwhelmed at random times and in random sections of the store. This last time for him it was the bedding section. He looked like a deer in headlights and just kept repeating, "I'm done, I'm done. We need to leave. Now. We have to leave now. " It's quite comical. We have made at least 3 or 4 trips thus far and we are not done refining yet. We will keep you updated though. Our plan for this weekend is to get the nursery painted!  Then hopefully we can work it out to get the crib set delivered by next weekend. We will see if we hit our goals. :)  But for now, some belly pictures!

For some reason blogger will not allow for my pictures to align center. Don't ask my why.

But now they will. Go figure.

This picture is just pure ridiculous.
