These past two weeks have been pretty surreal for this pregnancy. I am definitely showing a round stomach now and Baby Upp is moving and kicking like crazy! We had another ultrasound at 23 weeks to get the rest of the heart measurements they weren't able to get at his 20 week ultrasound because he fell asleep. At this ultrasound he was measuring about 1 lb. 3 oz, heart rate of 154. She double checked his gender and determined that he is definitely a boy! She used the 3D transmitter and was able to get some pretty neat pictures of his face. In these pictures you can actually see his little lips, cheeks, nose, and eyes. It's amazing!
I still feel really good. The sciatica pain in my back is still annoying but it's bearable. By the end of the day I'm pretty exhausted and just need to sit after being on my feet at work all day. Whenever I lay down, within minutes usually, Baby Upp starts moving around and kicking. I have been able to actually see some of his kicks from looking down at my stomach and can see when he moves into a strange position as one side of my stomach will get bigger or stick out in an awkward position. It's so amazing to think this little guy is just going to continue growing in there!
We bought a glider for the nursery the other day. It's a tan microsuede upholstered chair that is on a glider frame so it glides front to back, swivels, etc. It's a great piece of furniture for the nursery. Mom bought us canvas wall prints to hang on the wall that work so well with the bedding and nursery colors. Right now they are sitting on the dresser, but once we paint these will go up on the wall. It's all coming together!
