23 weeks!

22 weeks!

I am actually 23 weeks today, but here is the photo from the 22nd week:

some things we got for our little man

When we found out we were having a boy last week, we celebrated by taking a mini shopping trip.

He got his first pair of moccasins. Nathan and I both love wearing our moccassins, so naturally, little dude needed a pair of his own.

We also got him a little fleece onesie with mooses (is that plural for moose? or is it meese?).

And last, but certainly not least, the softest bear outfit we've ever felt! It was a little spendy, but we had to get it to appease my husband's dreams of turning our baby into a living stuffed animal. He wants to buy every bear outfit we see, and I don't blame him one bit. Pretty damn cute.

We also bought a little white dresser that we're going to turn into a changing table. I got brass animal knobs from Anthropologie and it looks incredible. I'll post pictures of it soon.

Most of my sickness has gone away, but with little lapses here and there. I've been feeling very tired, especially after completing small tasks. I cleaned my kitchen floor on Sunday but quickly collapsed into a 4 hour nap. I keep waiting for this "burst of energy" I hear is supposed to appear in the second trimester - but I just don't see that happening right now.

I was laying in bed a few nights ago (after consuming a very large slurpee) and I think I felt the baby kicking around. I'm pretty sure it was sugar induced. I layed there for a couple hours holding my breath on and off (like that was going to help me feel) trying to decipher tummy bubbles from baby movement. It was really cool to even *think* I was feeling the baby, but I wish Nathan could have enjoyed it with me. Not only was he sound asleep, but I can't feel any movement with my hand through my belly yet. But that will all come soon enough :)

9 weeks (almost!)

We were originally in the Midwifery unit to get our ultrasound, but the Midwife said my uterus is tipped and her machine couldn't get a good picture. Radiology got us in later in the afternoon to see if they could find him, as their equipment is much nicer and up-to-date. She was able to find him right away. I wasn't looking at the screen of the monitor since I was discouraged from the situation with our Midwife earlier and was under the impression that this nurse was going to have more trouble; but I looked over at Nathan's face and he had a huge grin with eyes glued on the screen. Sure enough, the little guy was there. His heart was moving so quickly - like what you'd picture a hummingbird's heart would be like. Our nurse was nice enough to provide us with an ultrasound photo this early in the pregnancy. You can tell she didn't really want to, but I'm so glad she did. And we had it confirmed; our due date is March 11, 2011!

I am going to start making these little pictures for baby every week or so and compile them into a book for after s/he is born. They'll differ between paintings made on MS Paint, ultrasounds, and photos of my belly.

We're pregnant and excited - this blog is for friends and family to stay up to date on the happenings of our new little resident.
