belly @ 20 weeks.

ultrasound at 20 weeks.

Baby, is 8 ounces :)

Mommy & Daddy gave me a big head!

Daddy has four other pictures of my feet to pick out some Jordans!

Baby would not stop moving. Baby was giving the radiologist a hard time with getting certain pictures of baby's head & brain. Baby would not get his/her head out of my pelvis. They had to tilt me almost upside down so baby would gravitate out of my pelvis and apply pressure several times to get baby to show his/her brain. Baby also hid his/her private parts knowing mommy and daddy didn't wanna know whether he/she was a girl or boy.

month four pictures.

first ultrasound in july.

i was so happy when doctor told me baby was going to be okay. growth & heartbeat were right on :) i'm so in love, i couldn't stop looking at the little peanut. --- next ultrasound is september 7th! full anatomy but keeping the sex a surprise!

Movement

I have been feeling baby moving the past couple of weeks. This morning Ken finally got to feel baby for the first time :)

seventeen weeks.

"Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop."
