these past 3 weeks have been very eventful! i have been a slacker with everything blog though...oops! so, here you'll get the entire update on everything from ultrasounds to baby's first gifts!
on thursday february 23rd we had our 14 week appt. nona came all the way up from hilton head for this one. she came up to hear the baby's heartbeat and spend some time with us and the bean. she frequently makes me put the phone up to my belly as she proceeds to talk to bean. it's cute. (i think she just wants to be the favorite!) :)
anyway. we went to the appt- me, hubs, and nona and as we were sitting there waiting for the dr. the nurse comes is with the traveling ultrasound machine behind her!!! our sweet, sweet dr saw that my mother was here and wanted to give her a surprise!! not only did we get to hear our sweet baby's thump-thump-thump, we also got to SEE our bean! he/she is so precious! (we've been blessed to be able to see our baby at EVERY visit so far!!) hubs was amazed by how much it actually looks like a baby now!! here are a few shots from the visit.
baby babb was moving around so much, we were able to see him/her from every angle. SO fun. of course, hubby asked {again} if it was a boy! haha! too soon, petey. too soon.
after our visit, we met up with one of my friends who happens to be only 3 weeks ahead of me {in her pregnancy} for a consignment sale in concord, nc. we were extremely overwhelmed and a bit disappointed. the items were not in good shape at all and the place smelled a little funky. all in all it was fun to experience and we both left with a few books!
nona has given bean a few things so far, this being my favorite! it's very own LOVEY! so soft, so cuddly, so adorable. can i sleep with it?!
15 week shot. first maternity shirt. first day my kiddos at school asked me if i was having a baby. the girls are SO excited. they want to rub and poke my belly all day long now! the boys are, well, boys....
this weekend as i was laying down watching tv, i thought this sight was funny. so crazy the change your body goes through!
16 week official shot. baby is the size of an avocado (clearly, i did not know how to spell it correctly on the board that day). 4 1/2 inches from head to rump. i still have yet to figure out if i've felt the bean move. i keep thinking i have, but i'm not sure. it actually starts to worry me some, but i know every body is different. maybe we just have a chill baby...fingers crossed! :)
baby's first sling i ordered for free! one of my baby mama friend's told me about this great deal and i didn't want to pass it up. i am not even sure if i'll use it. i think i like the moby wrap and k'tan wrap better, but we'll see. it was free! :)
can't wait to put baby babb in this thing!!!! i'm getting so anxious! still have more than half way to go too eeeek!
next up. 18 week appointment for anatomy ultrasound to find out gender...can. not. wait.
