22 Weeks

It's been a while, so what's happened in the past few weeks? Let's take a look...

 Yep! It got bigger!! I finally gave in at 20 weeks and bought some maternity jeans. I still fit my pre-pregnancy jeans, but the "hair-tie holding up the jeans" thing made me nervous when I get up and down off the floor in front of strangers all day.

It was AMAZING to get to see our BABY GIRL in the "Anatomy" ultrasound. I may or may not have cried for the 2nd half of the unltrasound from excitement about knowing the gender and general relief that our little baby is healthy. Its amazing how much they were able to see (besides just her hoo-hah)! Everything is developing properly which is such a miracle... from seeing the chambers of her heart to the fingers and toes, it truly is amazing! Here's her first close-up:

This is our last scheduled ultrasound, so these may be the last pictures of her until she's born. In the meantime, we've begun preparing for her arrival. From painting to gathering second-hand baby stuff, we are on our way to parenthood!
