22 Weeks 1 Day : )

HELLO!! Happy 4th of July ALMOST!

Well, since I didn't update last week I'll let you know a little history... I got back from Florida late last Tuesday night and had a blast with my family. It was VERY short and sweet! The trip mostly consisted of talking, laying out, eating, talking, laying out, eating....etc. Three things I LOVE doing. My cousin Allie is pregnant (12 weeks along today) and she didn't feel very good part of the time but we made the best of it! My cousin Aaron who has an 11 month old boy brought me some "hand me downs" that are absolutely adorable and I'm SO thankful for him and all the new clothes. My aunt Beth who currently has breast cancer is in great spirits and just her normal, crazy self even though she is going through some pretty powerful chemo right now so she couldn't have been feeling all that great. She sure fooled me though! Anyway, it was a great time with everyone and so good to see everyone!

Last Thursday we had an ultrasound at 21 weeks 2 days so we could look at our little guy up close and personal and make sure that he is normal size and everything has developed like it should. Everything we GREAT!! The doctor was able to rule out ANY abnormalities and confirmed again that indeed we are having a BOY! We then got some 3d shots of him that are a little distorted because of all of the amniotic fluid around him but still AMAZING to look at! As of that day he weighed in at 15 oz. which the Dr. said is perfect! By now he is supposed to be 11 inches long and probably around 1lb or so. He's really growing up on us! : )

I had a Dr. apt today, just my regular 4 week apt. I have gained 4lbs in the past 4 weeks, my blood pressure looks good and the baby's heart rate was 156. They also started measuring my uterus this week and it's right where it's supposed to be, just above my belly button. : ) All and all, everything is going great! I'll post my new "belly" picture here in a little bit after Trav gets home.

Have a great night everyone!! Oh, and Happy 4th of July!!
