We got to go to Colorado this past weekend to see all of our families. It's the first time all of them have seen us since I started showing. It was so much fun having everyone comment about my belly and of course rub and kiss my belly. Having that kind of attention has helped make this pregnancy feel so much more real.

The baby has been moving so much. It still feels like flutters, but it is also starting to feel more like actual kicks. I love feeling him kick, it's something I look forward to feeling everyday.

We're Having A Boy

Seth and I found out today that we are going to be having a baby boy. We are so excited!!! The ultrasound showed a very active baby boy, so active that it took a little while for the nurse to get clear pictures of him. He weighs around 8oz. and his due date is still October 18th. Here are some of the pictures we got of him from the ultrasound.

One cute foot and one cute hand

Arms on his face

Proof it's a boy (a little hard to tell but his pee pee is right by the bright dot)

His profile, a hand and a foot

I have reached the part in my pregnancy where I can no longer lie flat on my back. Not to sleep, not to workout, not at anytime. It's been very hard sleeping throughout the night because I can't stay on one side to long because either my shoulder will start hurting or my hips will start hurting. All the years of diving on grass, turf or a gym floor are starting to catch up with me. Hopefully, I will be able to figure out one sleeping position that is comfortable.

2 more days until we find out what we're having.

17 weeks- Baby movement

17 weeks

I think I am finally starting to feel the baby. Earlier in the week I started feeling some activity in my lower abdomen, but nothing has felt like the so called "flutters" you feel when you start feeling the baby. Around Thursday the things I was feeling started turning into "flutters". It is so cool to be pregnant and to start feeling your baby move. I can't wait for the kicking and elbowing of the baby.

9 more days until Seth and I get to find out what we are having. We are soooooo EXCITED!!!

Pregnancy Picture Diary

I think it's about time for me to start tracking my baby bump so that my baby will always have pictures to look at and see how they grew inside the womb. Nine weeks

Second Prenatal Visit

On Monday I had my second visit to the OB. We were so excited to hear the heart beat again and then of course to schedule our sonogram to find out the sex of the baby. The nurse found the heart beat right away and it was a strong heart beat. The nurse said that its heart beat was in the 160 which is normal I guess. The doctor came in and started feeling around on my stomach. She helped me feel my uterus. It is about the size of a softball and you can feel it in just above the pubic bone. It is so cool how the body works. We scheduled our sonogram for May, 19th at 3:15 p.m. We are so excited, less then five weeks to go until we can start calling our baby a "boy" or "girl" instead of "it".

Tomorrow marks the 14th week into my pregnancy. Goodbye 1st trimester, hello 2nd trimester and from what I hear this is the time I will feel the most comfortable. I'm so excited to start showing. Only a couple of weeks a way.
