baby bumps!

So, I'm 26 weeks and 1 day. And, I feel huge. Again, I know I will only get bigger, but it's still weird.

Russell decided to get artistic while taking this picture. Actually, it was because he was talking to our friend Lee (who is the baby's Godfather!!!). But I like how it turned out.

My big old belly! And, you cant tell in this picture, but I'm sick! So, I think I look pretty dang good! And, my eyes look amazing!

Ultrasound!

So, today I had my "real" ultrasound. Of course, it hurt, cuz I had to pee very badly, but that's ok. The baby was not cooperative at all, it was curled up into a ball. It's ok, though. That does mean, that if Russ had been there (he had to stay home and watch Gavin) that he wouldn't have been able to find out what we were having. Though, it did make it difficult for the tech to get the pics and measurements of all the organs that she needed. She let me go pee, and that was the only way that she was able to get a pic of the heart. With all 4 chambers. Anyway, here are the pics!

This is the baby's back...you can kinda see that its legs are pulled forward.

One profile picture. Again, if you look, you can see that baby's legs are crossed. You might actually be able to see the bones, and where they are crossed.
Baby moved its hand a little! I think it's saluting daddy, even though he wasn't there.

Baby has REALLY moved in this picture...lol. Legs have moved slightly, and it looks like the baby is either trying to suck it's thumb, or maybe it's just tired. Either way, it is a very very cute picture of my baby!

I have an appointment on Monday, so hopefully by then the midwife will have the ultrasound results there. She said we're supposed to go over them together, so she can see how the baby is doing, and make any adjustments to the due date (which I will fight tooth and nail). I'm just glad I was able to see the baby again. Yay!

It's a....

BABY! Haha...gotcha, didnt I? Well, at least it's only one baby. There are only 2 pictures, because they ended up rescheduling my ultrasound. Apparently, the OIC (Officer in Charge) doesnt like to do ultrasounds before 19 weeks. I'm only 18 weeks. But, since I had filled my bladder nice and full, the tech showed me some pity and showed me the baby anyway. She also printed up pics, even though she wasnt supposed to. It was soo nice to see the baby, see the heartbeat. So, we rescheduled it for Nov 1...I'll be 19 weeks and 1 day! Ha so take that!

I love this..you can see it's face, and both of it's hands were by the head. Legs are up by the body. I just keep looking at this picture in awe, cuz this being is INSIDE me. WOW!

The baby is saluting daddy! It's an odd angle of it's face, but oh well...if you look really hard, you might be able to see the second arm up there, too.
