A Peek at Brady

Here are a few pictures we got at our appointment. This is little Brady at 21 weeks! They are small so kind of hard to see, but hopefully you can still enjoy the a little. I'll give a little description of what you're looking at just in case you can't tell!

The picture above shows a little foot (The toes are at the right and the heel is at the left)

In this one Brady is telling us that "I'm number 1!" If you look closely, you can see that he has his pointer finger up.

It's a boy! (Arrow is pointing this out in case you cannot tell)

Here's a classic ultrasound picture...baby's profile! Look at his cute little nose :)

This is another profile shot, but in this one he's waving his hands up around his head.

So that's our little man! We are so excited!

It's Official...

We are having a BOY! I had my ultrasound today and everything looks good. We are so excited to welcome this little guy into the world and can't wait to meet him! He's an active little guy and he had the hiccups during the ultrasound and it was funny to watch. Now the fun of buying baby clothes and toys and such can begin!

Butters Sling

Megan and my mom hooked me up with a free sling (all I paid was shipping) and it came today! I decided the best way to test it out would be to use a baby, but since that wasn't an option, I went with the next best thing and used Butters instead. I thought he would fight against it but he was completely content to stay exactly how I put him in the sling! It was pretty cute :) I just hope the baby likes it as much as Butters.

Getting Bigger

Here's a 20 week shot. And yes, I am wearing the same outfit in this picture. I am usually in scrubs, so my "normal clothing" options are fairly limited right now. Maybe you can't tell a huge difference between this one and the last one, but I sure feel a lot bigger and have had people ask me when I'm due and such...even patients when I'm wearing scrubs (which happens to be when it is the least noticeable).I'm still not completely over the nausea or vomiting, but I am down to puking only about once a week now :) I think this week it can be attributed to this lovely cold I'm battling. I've started to feel little Baby Bell move around a little, which is always fun. One week from today we'll have our ultrasound to (hopefully) find out the gender!! Just keep your fingers crossed that this kid cooperates and doesn't cross its legs or anything. I'm hoping for a nice, good view. Don't be shy, baby! Your mom and dad will see plenty of your nakedness when you're born anyway!
