4 more months!

Exactly four months from today is my due date!  It's crazy to think of how fast this pregnancy has gone by and how much life will change come Jan. 25.  At the same time though, I am so ready and impatient to meet this little booger! 

So, some baby updates...

First, I had a check-up last week with my doctor.  Baby sounded good and the doc said my belly measured on target, as was my weight gain (whew, then I suppose an extra brownie IS necessary for baby's health).  He went over the report from my ultrasound too.  All of the measurements were on track and so my due date is still the same.  There was a calcium deposit in the baby's heart that should go away on its' own, but he will check it with another ultrasound at 34 weeks.  He gave me the okay to fly to Hawaii in November and Omaha in December for Michael and Ali's wedding festivities, so that's good (although, I already bought tickets and figured it would be fine). 

Also, baby has been moving quite a bit and just beginning a few days ago, I can feel its' movements from the outside of my belly.  At first, I thought it was just some mondo gas bubbles, but then figured out it was actually LBH!  The other night I was watching TV with my sis-in-law, Laura, and I had my hand on my belly.  Baby must have karate-chopped my hand or something because it was so strong, it made me jump.  I'm really excited for Adam to be home and be able to feel them too.  He has been working a ton and is in Omaha this weekend for Michael's bachelor party.

I will post a new belly picture soon since it is growing quite a bit.  Baby is 11 inches long by now, from head to toe and should weigh about a pound.  So the next 17.5 weeks are all about it getting chubby!

Love from our little, growing family!

Pictures of the cutest baby ever!

Last week, I had my 20 week ultrasound and everything looked great!  Baby's heartbeat was 145 and LBH was wiggling around like crazy.  We got to see it wave, yawn and play with the umbilical cord.  Luckily, the baby was sitting on its' legs the entire time so the sex was not given away.  I was so nervous about seeing something I didn't want to!  Because LBH was being stubborn and not moving its' legs, even the ultrasound tech. couldn't tell the sex.  Anyway, here are the pics...

Serious belly growth!

Here is a picture of Raechel and me from this weekend.  We're both about 19 and half weeks and there has been some serious growth since our last picture!  I think we're pretty even...
