19 Weeks

Anthony and I are now at 19 weeks and he about the size of a mango! I still haven't felt him move, but I can feel pressure when he's pressing against something, especially when it's my bladder. (I think I felt a few movements this morning, but being half asleep I'm not sure.)

Matt's birthday was Monday (he turned 26) and I got him a PC onesie for the baby! Then when we were exchanging a coat, we bought Anthony a Red Sox onesie. This kid is going to be a sports fanatic just like his dad!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Matt and I are heading home to my parents' tonight! We're very excited to show them the ultrasound pictures!

18 Weeks

Today, Matt and I went to our 18 week appointment, which included an ultrasound! We got to see LBD moving around and got some great pictures, including some wonderful silhouette shots! We also found out that LBD is a BOY! We're so excited to be able to call him Anthony and meet him in April! Other than that, my appointment was short; we heard the heartbeat which was strong and Matt showed Lynette his arm. (He had blood taken on Saturday and she said that they went right through the blood vessel, so it's spilling blood and that's why his arm looks bruised.)

Here's a picture from the ultrasound:

And a size update for this week: Anthony is now the size of a sweet potato!

17 Weeks

LBD and I are at 17 weeks with only one more week until we find out what gender the baby is! LBD is now the size of an onion with a hardening skeleton and finger and toe prints!

I'm definitely showing now:

16 Weeks

LBD and I have officially hit four months today! He's getting bigger everyday and is currently about the size of an avocado! His ears are forming and so he will be able to hear my voice. His taste buds are also forming as well as his eyebrows, lashes, and hair coming in more! I'm so excited for our appointment in two weeks so we can officially determine the gender! I want to start being able to buy baby clothes and do DIY projects for the (future) nursery! (I'm really excited to use wooden letters to spell out the baby's name. I'm going to paint them and decorate them!)

Matt and I are going to take pictures this Saturday since it gets dark before we get home, so I'll post them here once we've got them!
