3D Ultrasound, Take 1

I have been a bit MIA the past few days so I'll try to catch up on things here.

First off, I changed my blog template and it erased all of my widgets. I lost my blog roll so please post a comment with a link to your blog so I can get my list back. Thanks!!!

My Mom had foot surgery so I was at my parents' house daily taking care of her...making meals and just keeping her company while my Dad was at work. Mainly we watch girlie movies and eat junk food :)

I had my 3D ultrasound today. It was ok. EJ's hand was in front of his face most of the time so we didn't get many good pictures. The good thing is that they invited me back in two weeks to try again. YEAH! But for now, here are the pictures (sorry they're so big) they sent us home with. Hopefully I'll get better ones next time. Oh, and we confirmed it's still a boy ;)

Week 27

I had another peri appt this morning and all went well. I'm measuring right on track and EJ's heartbeat was great...which I knew b/c I listen to it daily :) I've been feeling tons of kicks all day, I'm guessing it was the hot chocolate and glazed donut that got him moving. LOL.

One week from today we're doing the 3D ultrasound!!

Ed's put EJ's crib together last night. I just love it. The Espresso color looks great against the paint color and the the lines are really nice. I'm so happy we chose that one. Now I'm just waiting for my glider to arrive and the nursery will be fully furnished.

Knock knock

Who's there?

Me...entering the third trimester!

I'm in a bit of disbelief here. I can't fathom that I have only 13 weeks to go. Time is seriously flying, just like everyone told me it would. Our nursery furniture arrived this weekend and we'll assemble the crib sometime this week. I will surely post pictures when it's all done. I love the color of the wood next to our blue walls. It's so fresh and clean looking. I hope EJ likes it as much.

I'm still dealing with wicked heartburn. It wakes me up in the middle of the night...on those rare occasions that I'm actually sleeping through the night. I now get up TWICE regularly to pee and of course my dog usually has to go out once I disturb his sleep. Ed has been sleeping in the spare room for quite some time. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I have taken up snoring and he says I sound like a 400 lb man. I also burp like a drunken frat boy so add that to the snoring and I am one sexy lady.

But I LOVE being pregnant. There are many discomforts along the way, but I absolutely love it when I feel my little guy kick around in there. He's gotten into a good daily routine and I can count on him to move a lot at certain points in the day, and sleep through the rest. I've even seen my belly move a few times. That freaked me out the first time, but now I get excited to see it. I hope Ed can see it sometime soon. I feel bad that the baby is usually asleep when Ed is around, but give us three more months and Ed will be able to enjoy all of the kicks and screams EJ has to offer :)

Snow Baby

Many of you know that I called my frozen embryos my "snow babies". Well, I just found and ordered this onsie from www.cafepress.com. Hopefully in a few months I'll post a picture of EJ wearing it.
