20th Week: 5 months pregnant!

This week I was officially in my 20th week. It's obvious I am pregnant as my belly is growing! I have gained 5 lbs (if you start with the weight I was before I was pregnant). I am still having morning sickness but not every day at this point. Thursday I ate out...Chinese...for lunch. By about 8:30 that night, I had swollen feet and ankles! Gross!!! No more Chinese for me! I still had it Friday and Saturday too but back to normal on Monday. SaturdayI registered everything she will need at Baby's R Us. There are so many choices...it was harder and took longer than I thought it would but it was fun! Pretty soon we will start working on the nursery. We have made most of the decisions...just need to pick up the supplies and have a work day!

19th Week: Ultrasound...It's a GIRL!!

I had my 4th doctor’s appointment today and my full ultrasound. It’s a GIRL!!! According to the scan, I am 19 weeks today so I am now turning weeks on Tuesdays. It also confirmed a day earlier due…February 6th. The radiologist said everything looked normal and her legs were spread enough that you could definitely tell for certain she is a girl. I have gained 3 pounds this week and 4 total.

On Sunday, Jeb and I celebrated 7 years of marriage. Someone told me 7 is the year of completion...the time of just the two of us is complete and now it's a new time! We usually go on a trip for our anniversary but since we have other priorities this year, we decided to do something local. Jeb was so sweet...he made us reserverations at the Hilton Galleria for an overnight stay and their famous Sunday Brunch. Before checking in, we attended an Astros game.

In case you don't know, I love attending professional sporting events (more than Jeb)...here I am at the World Series Game 3 in Houston last year (this was the game that went down in Baseball history as the longest game ever... didn't get out until 1:45 am.


OK, I have to throw this in too...shortly after the World Series was over, U2 came to Houston and I saw Craig Biggio after the show and took a picture with him

My doctor’s office called on Monday with the results from my blood work from my last visit…NEGATIVE for Down syndrome and NEGATIVE for Spinal Bifida. Thank you Jesus…perfect little girl in there!
