22 weeks!

so yesterday was the ultrasound and it is in fact a two vessel umbilical cord. which means that i'm now considered a high risk pregnancy. so far everything looks good though, he got a fetal echocardiogram along with the ultrasound and the doctor said that right now everything sounds perfect. but yay for more ultrasounds! we FINALLY got a profile shot, he is so cute. looks like me still so far haha. and he weighs 13 ounces right now. getting so big! :) oh and he got his first case of hiccups this morning. i can't wait for him to get them again! so without further ado, here are the pics from yesterday! (21 weeks 6 days)

here is his face. and an eyeball lol. looks like my chin!




good news! still a boy! so i can keep all this boy stuff hehe. :)




profile! and his cute little hand up by his face. so cute.




another profile! looks like mine too!




and last but not least, my belly at 22 weeks!

21 weeks! :D

well at the end of last week mom felt him moving, the first one to do so other than me. it was so exciting! and then ryan felt him kick today, and boy did he kick hard that one time. he's so active, i can't wait until he's here!

so at the ultrasound they weren't able to get a good view of the umbilical cord, so they're not sure if he only has two vessels instead of three in it. i'm going to pensacola on the 16th for a level 2 ultrasound to make sure everything is okay, i hope it is. on the bright side though, mom will finally get to see an updated ultrasound of blake! so that's kinda exciting, but still i hope everything is fine and that he does in fact have a three vessel cord. if it was only two vessels everything would probably still be okay, but they would just have to watch me closer. here's to hoping.

i'm finally showing a little bit more, even though some days i look way more pregnant than others lol, and today is one of those days.

20 weeks! :D

well, it's official, it's a boy!!!! i'm having a little blake konnor. shopping for him today was so much fun. i really wanted a girl, but i guess i'll just try again next time. :) i ate a sugar cube before i went, and wow he was active. he went from breech, to cephalid, to transverse. all in a little less than an hour. but he's beautiful. and we almost couldn't tell the sex. too much movement, and the umbilical cord was between his legs the whole time. the heartbeat is now 140. i got to see him swallowing and the tech said he was picking his nose lol but i would like to say that he was sucking on his thumb or fingers. i cannot wait to meet him. :)

so this is his cute little face, complete with one hand above his head and another right next to his face:




and this is proof he's a boy:



and this is a foot! looks just like my feet. :) it's so amazing!




he's just so beautiful! and a cute profile, even though we didn't get a picture of that.

and this is as big as i've gotten so far, at my halfway point (yeah, that's it lol):



well as of right now that's about all i have to update on. :)

19 weeks :)

so far in only three more days i'll be half way through and HOPEFULLY i'll know the gender. :) i can't wait!!! i just want to see the baby again in general. i think i finally popped. my belly is way bigger than what it was last week. i just woke up one day and it was there. about time!

i'm one of those girls who love being pregnant lol. i love watching my self grow and know that i'm harvesting a sweet bundle of joy at the same time. as much as i love being pregnant though, i can't wait to actually be a mom. i want to hold this baby in my arms so bad. i feel so sappy yesterday, i was watching these birthing shows and when the mom had the baby i started tearing up real bad haha. i just can't wait to experience that miracle.

so anyway not much has happened this week. just same old same old. a little more movement this week, but that's about it. i just can't wait until friday. not sure if you could tell or not haha. the only downside to growing is that my lower back hurts now, all the time. that part isn't fun. but my appetite is growing so that part is fun! :D i love eating haha. and i finally started to gain weight like i need to so yay. :)

18 weeks :)

so the other day i felt baby's first hard-ish kicks. i even felt a couple on the outside! now i just need her to start moving more so others can feel it, since it's just sporadically that i feel the movements now. still exciting though. :) so only ten more days from now and i'll find out the gender. still hoping for a little girl, but if it's a boy i'll love him all the same.

i think i'm nesting already! lol i want to decorate for the baby so bad. okay, that's probably not nesting, that's probably just me being me lol, but stillll. but there's lots of cleaning to do first so that's kind of a problem, dunno where to start! not to mention i'm always at school or work, or having to do tons of homework, i never have time. :( i think they're finally cutting me down to like four days a week at work, which feels like a big break to me actually lol. i'm just ready for school to be out. next week is spring break, which really won't be a break for me since i'll still be working lots and at least a couple of my classes have work planned for us during that break. ugh. i'm just so worn out, i'm ready for summer! where i have no homework lol. i'm rambling now though lol.

i'm finally starting to "pop." still not big, but at least i'm starting to show a little more. :) about time!

17 weeks!

so nothing really new this week. well i've felt baby kicking more, but other than that, nothing. but, i do have a new belly picture! :)



yep, looks almost exactly the same as two weeks ago. maybe a smidge bigger. lol oh well, i'll be happy for my smallness later on. i can't wait for april 3rd! i want to know the gender sooo bad. :) i can't believe that i'm almost halfway through the pregnancy. sure doesn't feel like it. and i sure don't look like it haha.

16 weeks :)

so i felt baby's kicks today!!! they felt like little flicking, so cute. she did it a few times, stopped, and then did it again a few min later. :) i wish she was bigger so that i could feel it more!

oh and i went to tj maxx today and got some stuff haha. sure hope it's a girl! i'm gunna hate returning all this cute stuff lol.

ugh morning sickness came again today. it seems like once every two weeks. blah. i'm ready for it to just vanish all together.
