So cool how you can see her spine...
She's all girl!
Showing off her growing baby muscles
Profile pic...the ultrasound tech says she has a cute nose!
This is the top of her head...no hair up there yet that we can see...
And these are her little piggies... :)
Isn't she just SO CUTE?!?! That ultrasound really was very neat. We were in there for about 30 minutes watching her flip, move and wave at us. At one point while the tech was getting the measurements and such they did this thing where all of her organs turned different colors on the screen and you could see everything beating and pumping...so neat! They shot a close-up of her heart and it is absolutely perfect! She is growing right on track and is measuring perfectly on everything. The doctor says that my placenta is on top which is right where it is supposed to be and there is almost no chance that it will separate and cause problems. All of our prayers have been answered so far and we could not feel any more blessed at this time. We are so thankful that God has been SO good to us!
Baby Stats
So this week our little Sophi girl is about the size of a cantaloupe and is measuring about 6 1/2 inches from head to rump and she should weigh about 10 1/2 oz. She is swallowing more now and she is really getting good at using her digestive system. This week, she is also starting to produce meconium, a by-product of the digestive system that mommy will have to clean up out of her diapers the first few days that she is here with us. :) And of course, her girly parts have formed showing us who she is!
Mommy Stats
How far along? 20 weeks, 3 days.
Weight gain/loss: About 7lbs. gained so far as far as our home scale says anyway but the last doctor weigh in was 6.2 lbs gained.
Maternity clothes? Absolutely! And so glad I made the switch over! Maternity pants are so darn comfy! I was so scared of letting go of my belt but now, not having to deal with a belt, button, zipper is really nice! I may never go back! LoL!
Stretch marks? Still no! :) I can see the skin starting to tighten around my belly though. That's kinda neat.
Sleep? Sleep comes and goes. I either sleep great or don't sleep at all. Last night was like wow...best night in a long time but I'm seriously thinking about investing in some unisom here soon. (Don't worry, it's on my approved medicine list!)
Best moment this week? Going to pick up our crib on Wednesday! Can't wait to get the room cleaned out and get the crib set up.
Movement: It's all or nothing right now. When I do feel movement, it's a lot and still just little flicks. No big kicks or anything yet and the doc says it may be another 4-6 weeks before I start feeling big kicks since this is my first pregnancy.
Food cravings: I don't know that I've really been craving anything lately. I'm happy to have my eggs back. I really missed them! Time to start eating more protein. That's my new goal.
Gender: We've got a girl! Sophi Aiyura :)
Belly button in or out? Still totally in. Don't think I'll have to worry about that for a while
What I miss? Being able to do things without wearing out so soon. I may not look all that pregnant but I feel it. My feet hurt in the mornings and I tire out very easily these days.
What I am looking forward to? Putting our crib together! :)
Weekly wisdom: When you need to sit, sit. Don't push yourself. This is really hard for me. I want to be able to go and do just as much as I did before so it's a lesson that I need to learn.
Milestones: We are half way there! Less than 20 weeks to go. Now it's time to get serious about getting ready for baby Sophi! :)
20 Week Belly Pics
Well I'm going to sign off for now, I think I've made this one long enough. :) But more pictures of a bare nursery and fully assembled crib to come soon! XoXo
