Meet Baby Beevers!

This week I had my ultrasound and we got to see the baby. Even though I haven't felt anything yet the baby is moving around quite a bit. We stuck to our decision and didn't find out the gender. The baby had its hands by its face the whole time, it was so cute. Everything was there and working--- heart, brain, stomach, spine, and kidneys.

Plus, I was pretty proud of myself for not peeing for that long. I had to drink 24 oz of water in a 1/2 hour and be done an hour before my appointment. But it was worth it!

The first picture is the baby's feet. Big aren't they? I guess the baby is taking after Jamisen (size 14). The second pic is the head on the right. The bubbles are the ambilical cord and I think the kidneys are on the left.

19 weeks and counting!

Today I'm 19 weeks so I'm almost halfway there. My belly is getting bigger and I've gained 9lbs so far. I still haven't really felt any movement but hopefully I will soon. I have my ultrasound on Weds so we'll get to see how much the baby is moving around.

My favorite food right now is popcorn. Not microwave popcorn but real popcorn. I do have a bowl that pops it in the microwave but it has to have real butter and salt not the synthetic microwave fake butter. Anyway I've had a huge bowl every night for the last 3 nights and I think it might be time to slow down that habit. I also made apple carrot muffins which are healthy and delicious. Almost time for apple picking!!!

Last week was my birthday and I've posted some belated pics of our get together for Sept bdays from the weekend before. Tomorrow is my friend Carolyn's bday...so Happy Birthday (shhhh....I won't tell its the big 3-0).

18 week belly pic

As of Monday I hit 18 weeks so I wanted to add another belly pic. It's starting to get a little bigger. I haven't felt any movement yet even though the doctor said I should by 16-18 weeks. I keep waiting to feel something so I'm hoping to feel the baby soon.

Jamisen is practicing his parenting skills on the cats---see the picture.

The belly is growing!

I'm starting to show a little bit at 17.5 weeks. If I wear the right shirt I definitely have a baby bump. People still don't ask, so it's not that obvious yet. The doctor said I should start feeling the baby move soon but nothing yet. The baby seems to love apples. I've been eating a ton of them. Tonight I made caramel apple crisp and ate it with vanilla ice cream. It was so good!

Happy Anniversary!

Jamisen and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary last Monday on August 25th. We took a wonderful trip to Mexico. It was so relaxing! So many of our family and friends sent us anniversary cards which was really nice. I've posted a few pics of our trip.

I'm now 16 weeks pregnant so it's moving along. I can't feel the baby yet but I am starting to feel some stretching. It will be another month before we get the ultrasound where we get to see the baby. This week the baby is as big as an avocado. Next week is an onion and Jamisen hates onions so we don't want to bring that up.

As you can see, Jamisen is practicing for the baby with the cats. He'll be all ready to go by February!
