Baby K's nursery - special preview

We are about 60% complete with the nursery.....just missing a small lamp by the chair, round black mirror (which is impossible to find right now) above the changing table/dresser and finally some shelves and pictures on the wall. All the bedding is complete, as well as the curtains! Now if only we could find the last few items to complete the room, and then Baby K is welcome to come at anytime.....wait I mean after he/she is done cooking...so at least 7 more weeks!

3D/4D Ultra Sound Picture

It's been a long time since I've updated the blog with some baby pictures! SORRY.
Danny and I went to our 3D/4D ultra sound on Saturday, and I did everything that the nurse ordered.....scheduled the time when Baby K is the most active, drank a coke right before the appointment, but unfortunatley the baby was in a commatose and as much poking, prodding, jumping around, twisting and turning as I could do, nothing worked...he/she would NOT WAKE UP! So above is the best picture we could get from the appointment! It's very hard to see alot in the picture, and the nurse said fat is still forming all over the baby, so the face looks a little puffy (according to Danny). In my opinion the baby has Danny's lips and chin (I only say this because when Danny is VERY tired he puffs his lips out and sucks his chin in....and that is exactly what the baby is doing...IMAGINE THAT)!! Danny thinks it has my nose......but I guess we'll just have to wait and see who the baby actually looks like!

I also included a side profile picture of me right before the appointment.....which makes me 30 1/2 weeks. :) Still feeling great....Baby's heart beat is still consistent around 150-160 BPM.

We are planning on taking some pictures of the nursery this afternoon, so I'll update the blog again tomorrow with more pictures!

I can't believe we are down into the single digits until the baby will be here!!

Week 28

First picture is of me, Danny, Shelley, Addison and RJ before heading out to the Keith Urban concert last Saturday!
Second picture is of Danny and I enjoying some pre-concert pizza! YUM YUM!!!
I am 28 1/2 weeks in these pictures and still feeling great!! Our next Dr. appointment is this Thursday, and I cannot wait to see how things are progressing!!

This is DEFINITLEY Danny's child!

Not that I ever doubted that Danny was our child's father, but as funny as it may seem, in the 2nd picture to the left, our "WONDERFUL" child is flipping us off in the picture! The tech went in to measure the top of the baby's lip to make sure there wasn't any issues with a cleft pallet, at first the baby had both hands covering it's face, she shook my stomach a little to try and get the baby to move it's hand, and then suddenly the baby gave us the finger....in saying DON'T bother me I'm comfortable!!! Then Danny said, wow "that really is my child!" Let's hope this child will work with us a little more when it enters the real world!! Danny also said the baby is mad at me, because I'm letting it live in a NY studio apartment, and not a NY penthouse......
So after many laughs, the tech did her measurements, and everything checked out normal (no cleft pallet, 4 heart chambers, still 10 fingers and 10 toes). She said everything looked great!!! She even mentioned that even if she wanted to find out if it was a boy/girl, she couldn't because the baby was sitting with it's feet tightly tucked under its bottom with its legs completely shut....we think it knows we don't want to find out!!! Nov 22nd, will definitely be a surprise as the only ultrasound we have left is the 3D/4D in mid September. The heart beat was healthy at 158 BPM as well!!
I'm still feeling great, although the swelling has begun to take over my feet...I traded my 5.5 shoe size for probably a 7 on Friday night (I thought I might have cut my feet off and traded a bear for their feet....atleast that's what they looked and felt like) :)
I'll update more on Friday as I go in for the Gestational diabetes testing on Thursday afternoon...I heard the drink is GREAT....just kidding!
Hope everyone is doing well!!

Week 23

Above is a picture of my ever growing belly from week 23! Almost at the 6 month marker!!
I'll update the blog more next week as we have an ultrasound scheduled for Monday and my monthly checkup next Thursday as well!

Baby is Happy and Healthy!

I had my monthly checkup this past Thursday and everything checked out just fine! The Dr. was very pleased with the heartbeat at 154 and seemed to think that my weight gain and where the baby was sitting looked just about right as well. Danny and I will get another sneak peak at what Baby K is up to on August 3rd, which we are very excited about! The ultra sound technician did not get enough pictures of the heart, so we need to do another ultra sound in a few weeks to see if the baby will cooperate this time around!!! Nothing to worry about it's standard procedure.....we think the baby was a little shy (doesn't take after Danny nor I).
Danny will be busy this weekend painting the baby room a dark khaki color (I'll post pictures once we get some furniture in). I can't believe I'm already 21.5 weeks....time really has flown by and we have enjoyed every moment of this pregnancy! The baby has been moving a lot more often now, and Danny is very anxious for the day he can feel the baby himself. The butterflies have flown away and I'm now feeling some bubbles popping in my stomach (which the Dr said is the baby doing flips)....maybe there's a gymnast in there!
Enjoy your weekend and I'll post more next week!!!

Baby K is the size of a banana!

I read on babycenter.com that Baby K is the size of a banana this week (20 weeks), and these pictures were taken when I was 19 weeks.......I just can't believe that he/she is the size of a banana!!! He/she looks HUGE to me!

We had our first ultra sound June 26th, and everything checked out great! The technician took about 45 minutes to do all the tests she needed to do and Danny and I enjoyed every minute of it! Baby K actually had the hiccups at one point, which was rather hysterical. Danny keeps telling me we have an American Idol on our hands b/c he/she is singing in the 2nd picture! I'd like to think that Baby K is blowing kisses to everyone!

Our due date was re-calculated to Nov 22nd, instead of Nov 18th....so maybe baby K will be a turkey baby after all!

We have our next appointment this Thursday and I will update once we get back from that as well, along with pictures from our wonderful trip to Italy!
