Our 20-week appt/ultrasound was Friday. Both of our parents (moms and dads) were able to come up for the ultrasound. Thank goodness! I was stressing over the weather and that they weren't going to make it!
The ultrasound was such an incredible experience! It was so neat to see this little human being in my belly! He was so cute - he was moving his mouth like crazy, rubbing his eyes with his hand like he was tired, and was kicking and punching EVERYWHERE. He is an active little baby! I'm already feeling him moving quite a bit. Seems like when he's awake he's constantly moving and kicking!!! I could have stared at the ultrasound screen all day!
Here are some stats from our appointment:
- Drew weighed 12 ounces and was 7 inches long.
- His hearbeat was 153 beats per minute.
- I am 1 week further along than they thought (yeah!!!) so I am now 20 weeks and 5 days.
- Everything looked healthy - he's growing just like he's supposed to!
Immediately after our appointment, mom and I hit the stores for some shopping! I was a little overwhelmed at first - had no idea what to buy first - but it didn't take long for me to get in the groove! Little Drew made away with all kinds of stuff!
On Saturday, we took my parents to The Baby's Room to show them the furniture that we ordered.....and we found out that 2 pieces were already in and ready to be picked up! That was so exciting! Dad and Sam picked up the crib and changing table and brought them home! Now we're just waiting on the tall 5-drawer dresser. Sam put together the crib last night and it looks beautiful in the baby's room!
I've almost picked out the fabrics for the bedding and hope that I can order it this week. I'm getting so excited to get everything ready in the nursery. I think I'll beat my goal of May to finish the nursery!!!!!
I'll post some pictures later!!!!! My belly is growing larger by the day! I love it!
