This past Saturday marked the 20th week of pregnancy. And it is flying by…
Last Friday, we had our 20 week ultra sound where they do
all the measuring of the baby’s arms, legs, heart, belly, head, etc.! Let me
tell you, this baby is ACTIVE!! I mean…kicking ALL the time. I can definitely
tell a difference already between Sage and this little guy. (Remember, I’m calling
this baby a boy). Sage was so peaceful only kicking and rolling ever so gently
and gracefully…and this kid is kicking and punching so hard, that it is
startling and surprises me. He was so active during the ultra sound and it was
fun to see him squirm a bit.
But…he is LOW!! So incredibly low that it is very painful
for me. During the ultra sound, I had to get up walk around and then lay back
down and we had to tilt the bed at a slant so that we could get the baby to
shift more towards my tummy and chest JUST to see his legs and feet. That is
how low he is- we couldn’t even measure his legs or feet with me just laying
down flat!!! Get the picture!?
Surprise, surprise…we chose not to find out the sex! We went
back and forth for a long time about it and I think if we did find out, it
would mostly be because of Sage. We want to know what “she” is going to have- a
baby sister or baby brother! For us, we still get a thrill from the surprise!
We have everything we need for baby #2 and if it is a boy- we just need some
boy clothes!
We are keeping the nursery the same colors- since it was
specially handmade crib bedding and skirt!
Pregnancy moments this past week:
*This baby is extremely active!! Even at 20 weeks, I’m
surprised by it. Brad was able to literally see a hand or elbow or foot, push
up on my belly and move across it. It was crazy to see!
*I got the prettiest tulips delivered to work from Brad, just
because I’ve been not having fun dealing with the pelvic pain, awww!
*The pregnancy is different- that is all I can say about that.
It’s not as fun as it was the first time. And I think it’s because of this
awful pelvic pain, if I didn’t have that, I think I would be just fine and
enjoying my days. But, feeling these little love kicks, makes it all worth it!
*Sage still has no idea that there is a baby in my belly.
Here are the pictures from the ultra sound!!!
Baby's face
This might be my favorite picture- this little leg and foot!!
Doesn't this face look like it could be a boy!?
20 Weeks! I think I look just slightly bigger than I did with Sage at 20 weeks.
