Last time I checked it very briefly was to announce we are having a boy, after the 20 week ultrasound. If you read my seldom updated blog at all, you know I'm quite excited to know that its a little boy on the way. In all honesty, the thought of a girl actually terrifies me (maybe Ill get into that another day).
Since then, well, some things have happened. The baby is officially moving. Nicole feels it all the time, especially at bed time -- for some reason when she lays down, he decides to play. Then a few nights back, like a scene right out of ALIEN, we actually saw the parasite moving, with little ripples across her growing belly. (When it happens to me, its just gas, and everyone insists they don't need to see it!).
Nicole is feeling a bit better. She still pees more often than I feel should be humanly possible, but the heartburn is mostly (most nights) gone. Her back is sore now, and her ample tummy (which I find strangely.... yummy....) is getting large, and creating issues for her at night.
The registry is done (babies r us everyone!), and this weekend I have nearly finished the nursery. The crib is ready, the change table nearly so, the floors and walls are finished. Couple little details left to finish up, and next weekend we start to make it a nursery instead of just a room; organizing the clothing and toys and books we have all ready, and putting everything together. I will be posting some pictures and a little tour just as soon as it's all ready.
About a two week agos, we went for the 3D ultrasound. It was pretty exciting seeing our little fellow in action. Here, for your enjoyment, are some photos. Once I get teh video edited down a bit Ill post that as well:
