Baby Checkup: 21 Weeks

Welcome to fat belly stage! We are now about half way through the pregnancy and everything is continuing to go very well. I have felt a lot of movement the last few weeks...feels like a potential socccer player to me. This checkup also went well...the heartbeat was loud and clear for the doctor, i have gained about 6 pounds so we're better there, and as you can see i am in the self-proclaimed "fat stage"...Slowly looking more pregnant. Chris has been very sweet and attentive...especially since i have had a bad cold the last week. He is the best! And he has taken to calling the baby "my little boy".
Looking forward to posts from our frequent readers...we'll update everyone again at the end of February after our next checkup. Posted by Picasa

Baby Checkup: 18 Weeks - Ultrasound


Scary face picture!!
He's kissing his toes...or kicking himself.

It's a boy! (hint: this is looking up between the legs at the face)

Cute little feet!


Well, we're officially 18 weeks pregnant and everything is going well.
We had our latest ultrasound and the baby was very active, flipping around, kicking, and playing hide and go seek with one arm. I have also felt a lot of activity the last week so it seems we have an energetic little BOY on the way. Yup it's a boy!!!! Our name for him is Owen Christopher, a name we've had picked out for him since before he came along. And we are very excited about him!

Enjoy the pics...they are very good for the most part. The technician was able to a get a shot of his face but she was a little too close and it looks kind of scary.
We'll update again the end of the month after our next checkup, so until then we'll continue to enjoy the comments.
