20 Weeks!

Today marks 20 weeks! We're halfway there! Getting so excited for Baby Wilson to arrive! I had the 19 week appt. last Monday and baby was doing well - heartbeat was 146. A few updates on previous appointments - the 12 week appt. baby's heartbeat was 154; 15 week appt. baby's heartbeat was 150; at the 18 week Ultrasound baby's heartbeat was 157. Last few times I've seen my Dr. she's made note that the baby was breach and sitting very low - nothing to be concerned with - just something she commented on. The guessing games of "What?" Baby Wilson is going to be (boy or girl) has definitely begun. According to Old Wives Tales and other flip of the coin type estimates - Baby Wilson is a girl. I'm not sure....like Mike always says - as long as it has 10 fingers and 10 toes and is healthy - that's all that matters! What do you think Baby Wilson is? OH and I've been feeling lots of fluttering - the baby is becoming more and more active - which is super cool =) Lots more updates to come with the nursery and we have Grandmothers-to-be attending the next couple of Dr.'s appts. Lots more to report soon =)

Ultrasound News

So we had the 18-20 week Ultrasound today which took a good hour and a half - we didn't find out the gender and the technician didn't slip! Mike and I both repeated a few times that we don't want to know the gender - she got the picture and giggled. The baby looks good - the heartbeat was 157 today and weighed 10 ounces - the technician made comment that the baby's femur bone looked very long and asked Mike and I how tall we both were. The baby was moving a little bit, opening it's mouth and kept it's hands infront of it's face most of the time - maybe sucking his/her thumb =) In assessing all the measurements they estimated a due date of August 1 (rather than August 9) but stated that the due date won't change - it's just an estimation due to the baby's size - it could come 2 weeks before or 2 weeks later. All in all - baby is doing great! Mike and I are so excited and are in complete amazement at technology and what it allows us to learn so early on - incredible!

16 Weeks Picture

This was taken last Sunday, February 22 at the 16 week mark. Hopefully soon we'll start posting some pics of the nursery in progress. We are planning a "Making Room for Baby" yard sale in April so that we can move our office upstairs, guest room to the office and the nursery to the guest room. It's coming along pretty well so far =) We have decided on a trees and birds (nature) themed nursery (Brooke Collection in Pottery Barn Kids) and are finalizing our plan for the walls - stripes or mural, etc. We're having a great time planning for Baby Wilson's arrival!!! More to come soon!
