We had our 21 week ultrasound today! I was so anxious to solidify that our little girl was in fact a little girl! Ever since our last ultrasound I have had this nagging feeling that it was wrong for some reason! However, little baby Painter was not shy at all and showed us right off the bat that she is in fact a SHE!
The tech did all of the medical checks and told us that as far as he can tell from an ultrasound our baby is perfectly healthy! She is measuring 2 days ahead of schedule, which doesn't change my due date, but gives me a little glimmer of hope that she will come early as opposed to late!She is currently sitting breech with her hands and legs up by her face, so we weren't able to get very good pictures of her face. We are hoping that in the next 7 weeks she moves into a better position because they are going to do a free 3d ultrasound at 28 weeks!
I have finally gotten to the point that in the right clothes I actually look pregnant and not just fat! I took this picture last week, it's not great, but it works for this purpose :) So without further adieu I bring you my first belly shot!
It is just hitting me how close I am to actually bringing this little one home! I know I am only halfway, but if the second half goes as fast as the first, she will be here before we know it! I think it is about time that I start cleaning out the nursery and making it into a nursery rather than a storage room! I have some fun ideas and projects I need to get started on, and this is the first time the whole pregnancy that I have felt the clock ticking away, so I need to get started!As far as I go, I am feeling great! I have gotten over the crummy first trimester nausea, which thankfully wasn't bad at all. I am finally not feeling so exhausted. I can stay up longer than 8:00pm most days now! I have started to feel the discomfort of sharing my abdomen, which I'm sure is only going to get worse...but is oh so worth it! All and all I am just so excited to be halfway done, and closer to meeting my sweet little girl!
Now if we could just agree on a name... :)
