Alright, we are finally over halfway done with this pregnancy!
As of today I have (October 1st) 137 approximate days left!
WOOHOO!
(19 week baby bump)
Life has been busy, I normally work 40 hours a week and so does Matt, we are still both continuing in school, and my English class ends on the 14th. Which, is going to allow me to focus more on my other classes.
This is basically a 20 week update.
So today, we went in for our BIG ultrasound. You know the one where they measure the baby's body from head to toe, and TELL YOU THE SEX OF THE BABY!!?!?!?
Yes, That was Today.
It was wonderful!
There was a big screen TV that we got to watch it on.
But ultrasounds kind of hurt, they put A LOT of pressure on your tummy.
It made me nauseous after.
Anyways, Matt was super cute! He sat right next to me and held my hand the entire time, and was totally enticed by the baby. I think he really liked seeing the baby. It seems so much more real this time.
Baby was moving and kicking it's feet. The Dr. who performed the ultrasound was super awesome and sweet. The very first thing she did was take a look at the gender. Which I will talk about in a wittle bit. But the baby was measuring a couple days ahead which is totally normal. It was way cool to look at each individual part of baby. We were even able to see the blood flow from the placenta and in and out the heart chambers. Baby had it's hands up by it's face the entire time! And you could totally see baby wiggling it's toes!! SUPER CUTE! It's fun to see that baby already has some of it's own personality and characteristics already! Found a position that is comfy. It stayed in the same basic position the entire time, which is head down, by the way. (PLEASE STAY DOWN) It was definitely an experience I'll never forget! Much cooler than any other ultrasound I've had.
