More pictures...

So these are a little late making it here. I did the ultrasound on 4/22 and man is that baby growing!

Only 16 days until we (hopefully) find out what we are having!  I can't wait to start decorating.  I almost have the room cleared out.  We have been spending a lot of time in the garage getting it organized so we can move all of the stuff that was in the baby's room out there.  So right now we practically live at Lowes (my mother is probably so proud!) getting all kinds of shelves and storage cabinets. Other than that there is really nothing going on.  Oh except that I can feel the baby moving now, sometimes(I think.)  It's pretty crazy!  I think Chester might know what's going on cause he sniffs my belly a lot, either that or I drop a lot of food...

So I'm a bit behind...

Last Friday, 4/10, I decided to ultrasound myself again!  I just love being able to see what I want to see.  These pics aren't as clear as the last ones but you can certainly tell that baby is growing...fast! I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and maybe I'll get another glimpse of the little peanut.

We have about 5 weeks left before we can find out the gender and I can't wait.  We have already decided on the crib but I have seen so many adorable nursery decors that I can hardly wait to start decorating!  I think JC is pretty surprised that I haven't made one baby related purchase yet...but I do talk about it a lot.

Nothing else is really going on with us and now that snowboarding season is over we really have nothing else going on!  (Don't worry I stopped a few weeks ago when it was too uncomfortable to bend over and strap-in my binding.)  We have made some plans to go camping this summer earlier than we usually do because come Labor day I might not want to.  One of those trips is going to be a road trip down the Oregon coast, which I am super excited for!  

Ok, I have a room to clear out!

my turn to run the ultrasound...

So today at work the phones were pretty slow so I did some busy work until there was just nothing left to do.  Charity, an MA at work, said she wanted to do an ultrasound on me but I am kinda modest (I know that'll change!) so I just asked her to show me how it worked and I would give it a whirl.  I had the most amazing time!  Since I could control it I just watched for a while and watched baby make spontaneous movements.  I saw the flicker of a heartbeat...always nice!  I could see arms and legs and I think even fingers.  You can see what I was able to see below.  I love the 3rd and 4th ones, legs all up in the air.  You probably can't see it but in the last one you can actually see fingers!!!  Most days I despise my job but this kinda makes up for it!

i saw two arms and two legs...

So I had my first official doctor's visit today! While they flat out refused to even try and find the babies heartbeat via the doppler they did do an ultrasound and guess what we saw...? Baby was kicking his/her little legs and waving his/her arms!!! How amazing is that?! We were both in awe of our little peanut and the doctor seemed to be too.

Ahhh, another milestone to document...I love it!!!
