So yesterday we went to the doctor and had our 2nd trimester ultrasound. We were able to see right away that our baby was a BOY! The doctor said everything looks great and my due date still stands. She said he has really long legs! Right now he (it seems weird to actually write him instead of it) seems to be straight up and down. His head it right under my belly button which made it difficult for her to get good pictures of him. The whole time she was doing the ultrasound he was moving like crazy. Its amazing how much he is moving. My next appointment is in 3 weeks (I moved it up a week so I could go while I am on break from work.) At that appointment they do the diabetes test. I have to drink this bottle of red liquid 1 hour before I go and then they have to draw my blood exactly one hour later. I am feeling a lot of movement especially when I get home from work and am relaxing at night. Its an amazing feeling. Kevin has been able to feel a few kicks as well. I find myself wanting to sit down and relax just so I can feel him move!!
I talked to the doctor about the BH contractions I have been having. She again confirmed that they are normal and that as long as I am not having more than 6 in an hour I am just fine! I have noticed that I am not having them as much, so that is good!
After going to the doctor we spent the day looking for cribs and furniture and registering at Babies R Us. That was a little overwhelming. There is so much stuff. But we did it! I don't think the list is complete but we definately got a good start on it.
Below are some pictures from the ultrasound and 21 week questions. Enjoy!
