Ultrasound

Our Baby's First Debut

This view is looking downward. So the big black circle is my descending aorta, which lies toward the back of the abdomen. The baby likes to snuggle with it because it pulses with my heartbeat. Then the large grayish cushion at the top is the placenta, which is at the front of my stomach.  And then our little bambino looking right at us!!

PEACE DOG!!!

22 Weeks!!

Definitely showing!!! Especially in my face.

Bennie got in one of the pics too!

Up Close!!

How Far Along: 22 Weeks!! 
Size of baby: Coconut! 8 inches long and weighs 1 lb.
Total Weight Gained:  6.5 lbs
Maternity Clothes: No quite- but I have rubber bands ready for my jeans.
Movement: Here and there-nothing consistent. During the ultrasound the technician informed us that I have an anterior placenta placement, therefore it makes harder to feel first movements. But, once the baby get bigger and stronger I'll feel more!
What I miss: Wine
Cravings: I have been thinking about Buffalo Wild Wings a lot lately.
Aversions: Anthony being drunk! I get jealous.
Symptoms: I feel swollen in my face but my hands and feet are normal.
Best Moment this week:  Seeing our little peanut on the ultrasound. And watching Anthony's face when he felt the baby kick.  He cant feel much but I was in the perfect postion and we got lucky that the baby moved again. He didnt believe me at first but then his face lit up. 

How your baby's growing:

Your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily. babycenter.com

I loved holding the scanner like a gun.  Anthony kept telling me to put it down but I felt cool, like James Bond.

I think Bennie started feeling very neglected.  Here he is pouting.
