5 Months

On September 21, 2006, in Prego, by wendy

Well, almost 5 months (2 days away). For those of you anxiously awaiting an update, sorry it took so long but this is why I hesitated to even start this process. Knowing myself, I knew I would rarely find time to do these updates. And it is only going to get worse once the baby comes! But really, there hasn’t been to much to say. I’ve been feeling good so far, I’m not really as tired as I was in the begining. As a matter of fact I was able to stay up reading last night past 11pm. Although, I’m still known to fall asleep before 10pm on Dave and Jenn’s couch :) We had our 20 week ultrasound on Sept 8th and everything is going well. Or so I assume, since the Doctor hasn’t said anything different (you have to ask really specific questions with him otherwise he doesn’t offer much info, typical male). We still don’t know the sex of the baby and still don’t want to find out for those of you still wondering or secretly hoping we will change our mind :) I’m planning on registering this weekend with the help of my sister-in-law and have been shopping for a crib. The nursery is still a wreck and needs to be cleaned out so there is room for all the baby stuff. I just haven’t been motivated to do that yet and I’m not sure where I’m going to put all my Longaberger stuff. It’s a good thing I still have a few months left.

I’ve been feeling the baby move alot lately which is nice because it reminds me that everything is going well and that there really is a life growing inside me! Sometimes that is hard to believe especially when people say I don’t look like I’m very big yet. I just tell them to wait, I’ll be there soon enough! It was a pretty cool moment durring the ultrasound when I felt the baby kick and saw the kick at the same time. We also got to see the baby wave to us durring the ultrasound. After multiple prying questions the doctor estimated the heartrate to be upper 140′s and another ultrasound (thanks to my friend Pam at Patients First) calculated the rate to be 148. Pretty consistent. Well I guess that is all, enjoy the ultrasound pictures and the early belly shots!

Thanks for reading, Wendy
