20 Weeks!



Things are moving and grooving...or at least the baby is. :) Started feeling those "butterflies" and even had one really strong kick during an acupuncture session.

Still feeling pretty good - only minor complaints here and there, but everything has been manageable...or at least fixable. :)

The most important thing though is we found out we are having a girl!! The little thing was quite sassy during the 20 week ultrasound. She had her legs and arms all the way up over her head. At first we were worried we wouldn't be able to find out what it was, but luckily the technician was able to see through her ruse.

We also decided on a name: Kaylee. Some of you may recognize the origin? HEHE.

I also hope to update the blog more as the baby room gets set up and my belly gets bigger. :)


What the baby is doing: If you could peek inside of your belly you may even see the delicate eyebrows forming on your little one's face or the hair that is growing on the scalp. Your baby is swallowing more this week as well as breathing in the amniotic fluid. This helps prepare your little one for the time outside the womb and helps the digestive system practice functioning. Now that the ears are fully functional, your baby is now enjoying all of the uterine sounds that it hears each day, from your own heart beating to louder sounds from outside the womb

Weird Preggo Stuff: Constant flutters in my belly. It feels funny to have all these sensations from the inside out.

Mind Blowing Thought of the Week: We're having a girl! Awww!

What I miss: Being able to turn over easy...I manage it only gets worse. :)

What is exciting: Finding out the gender and being able to give her a name and an identity...going to Europe and shopping for baby clothes!

Upcoming Events: Once we get home, the remodel will be done so we can start putting together the baby room!!
