A Little Moving and Shaking
18 Weeks and It's official...
we're having a boy! Woohooo.
Yesterday was the ultrasound where we saw all the working everything - heart, brain, kidneys, stomach, legs, hands, finger, feet...we saw it all. It was amazing. He is already 9 ounces and the ultrasound put us at 18 weeks 5 days, which is 5 days later when we though. The ultrasound also put us at a December 21 due date. I'm not entirely clear which one of the two is more accurate (my original due date or this one) but all I do know is that the baby is big and perfect :) He was super active in there. Completely different then the last time we had an ultrasound where he slept the whole time. This time he was moving and shaking and dancing and looking around. The technician had a great show and then when the doctor came in the baby sat straight up and wouldn't move - so the doctor couldn't see a thing. Fortunately he was able to check-out everything the technician prepared and said all looks happy and healthy! Woohoo!
In the meantime..I am feeling fine but exhausted. I'm off to Japan tomorrow. I need to get all the travel out of my system before I'm on a travel break!
WIthout further delay...here are the latest ultrasound images including a 3d version of the baby's face:
The little bugger was all bent in half by the end of the ultrasound - we are still trying to figure out where he gets his flexibility from:
A profile shot. You will see the umbilical cord right infront of his face - which is preparing you for the next picture I will put up:
This is the 3D picture of the baby. You can see his little face and the umilical cord hanging there just messing up the picture a tiny bit. So you have the ultrasound version from the side (above) and here is how he looks in 3D!
This one is areally hard to see, but this is his fact looking right at the camera:
Here are his two little feet:
You can see a pretty well defined arm in here - I love baby bone structure! :)
And finally - here is a little hand:
We will also put up some ultrasound videos. So stay tuned for another update! :)

17 Weeks - The Update
Well hello everyone!
Today we reached 17 weeks! Woohoo! Almost halfway there. I can't believe how time flies! We had a visit with the doctor today and all is well. I've gained a HUGE 9 pounds since I found out i was pregnant. I'm MASSIVE! We heard the little heartbeat- strong and fast. It was wonderful to hear.
All our genetic testing results came back really positive. We have nothing to be worried about. So good news all around this week.
According to the book - the little bugger weighs 5 ounces and is 5 inches long. I can't feel any moving yet....but I should in the next few weeks, although chances are I won't recognize it so quickly. So exciting and weird alll at the same time.
Other than that - no news. Next week we find out if it is a boy or a girl. SO exciting.
I thought it was about time to show off the growing baby belly...so here is the first picture of the tummy (note I'm spoting my fancy new maternity clothes. LOVE the elastic waistband jeans!)
Stay tuned for an update next week! The BIG update! Any bets on boy or girl??

Update!
It is amazing how during pregnancy there is so much and so little happening at the same time. There is a baby who grows bigger and bigger every day - but there is generally not much to talk about. Even though I seem to have no problem talking baby any chance I get!
I spent a fantastic week last week visiting JW in Newburyport and Boston - both of which are places i can see settling down in and then headed to Montreal to visit with family and friends before the big JW/SG wedding (which was amazing). Over the course of that whirlwind week of fun I finally bought some little irresistibly cute baby clothes and my first maternity clothes. All I can say is this - I LOVE maternity pants. Elastic waistbands are where it is at people. I think the saying should be once you go elastic - you can never go back. It is weird to be really getting into this whole baby thing . I think there is a part of me that still holds back and feels like this isn't real and awaits each doctors appointment nervously - terrified I will find out something is wrong. I don't know if that ever gets easier My mom swears that the worry starts now and goes on for the rest of my life as a parent. Good times ahead for a neurotic crazy worrier like me! :)
Nick and I got some great news this week when we found out he tested negative for the Fanconi anemia. It makes me immensely happy to know we don't have to worry about that (not that I don't worry about anything else). Even though everyone was convinced there was nothing to worry about, knowing that everything was ok on that front - hearing it from the doctor - made me feel SO much more at ease.
I'm not feeling well today. Scratchy throat and nausea...not fun. I think I'm getting a cold but it is the last thing I wanted for the long weekend. Boo. Now I am cranky.
On the other front - Nick and I started a baby registry. So exciting! We did it on BabiesRUs for now, but I think we will have one on Target too because it seems things are cheaper there. We figured this was the easiest way to keep track of what we want and need. Take a look at it here and let me know what I'm missing (although I know there will be LOTS) - just click HERE and you should find it (*EDIT - I've also added an Amazon Baby Registry which has the same items...I just find it a little easier to maneuver. You can find that HERE). We didn't put the little things on...like the receiving blankets or the diapers or the onesies...we figure those are easy to run and pick up at Target - but just the bigger things we want to remember and get opinions on :) Any feedback is MUCH appreciated!
Ok...I am off to try not to throw up and to lie here feeling miserable and cranky!
