20 weeks, 2 days

Baby is looking good!  The doc said we just need to keep doing what we're doing because so far all the numbers look perfect.  Heartbeat is now 140 and all the test results from 18 weeks are normal :)

Half way there...

gifts, gifts and more gifts...

We are blessed with my sister's weekly hand-me-down gifts, but we are starting to get a little overwhelmed.  The bassinet she gave us doesn't even fit in our bedroom door :)  Nonetheless there are very few things we will need to purchase in preparation for the lil' guy... and Grandma has already started to fill the baby's closet with Nordy's attire.  Next step... prepare the nursery, starting with a bed chair - a comfy chair that will open to a single bed for the nursery in case Grandma Estes or Grandma Denison want to stay over to help when baby arrives.  Second will be the crib :)  So many exciting things to look forward to.

Bassinet

he is a kicker...

I have been able to feel baby moving for four weeks now... started with little flutters and he has now advanced to powerful kicks.  Bryan is now able to rest his hand on my tummy and feel baby's force which of course has led him to believe that baby is going to be a world class ultra marathoner.  For me it is reassuring to know our little man is active in there.  

     

We spotted a little penis today...

It's a BOY!!!

18 wks, 2 days

Today was our second ultrasound.  

Baby is healthy!!!  

We almost walked away with only a picture of the baby's foot because he was facing away from the camera and doing head stands rather than looking at us.  Luckily toward the end after doing pelvic exercises and lying on my side we were able to see his face.
