Beyond halfway... time sure does fly!

Wow! This pregnancy is flying by faster than with Will.

Last week I had an OB check up and Baby kept pushing the doctor away when she was trying to find the heart beat. Everything is going good so far! My blood pressure was the lowest its been since 2006 (116/62) and I've only gained 5 1/2lbs!! The doctor was thrilled for how good I'm doing.

Today (Sept. 28) we had the ultrasound. James was able to come and saw more of the Baby than I did (the tech was good at his job, but "focused" at his job). When I was able to see the screen, Baby looked beautiful! We both agree Baby has the same nose as Will did. Unlike Will (who measured in the 90th+ percentile) this Baby is measuring normal!! Also, when I had ultrasounds for Will he was always head banging/moving around. Not this Baby! Slept the whole time. The only movement that it did was move its arm over its face. Too cute. :)
Just like with Will, we didn't find out what gender we're having.
The tech did ask, "Does your son want a brother?"
Us- "No. He doesn't really care."
Tech- "Oh... OK! Congrats on your baby."

 

Here's Baby!! 21 weeks exactly :)

There's no place like home!

This month has flown by so far (and I hope it continues for personal reasons). We've moved on base this past week and despite the resistance I got from someone, it has been the best move yet! Our new home is a 3 bed, 2 bath with a nice playground one house away. I feel so much safer now and so far we have yet to argue about bills or turning the A/C on or off. :)

I won't speak for James, but I love this place! We definitely miss the neighboring family from the previous house, but I keep in touch with them a lot. Unpacking and organizing is going smoothly.

Right now, the main problem we're facing is the landlord of the last house is "off island" and being really greedy about the deposit. He claims that the house wasn't clean enough, but when I asked specifics he couldn't keep his story straight and even made up things that I have proof are NOT wrong! I'll be calling him tomorrow and be politely demanding our money back (as per the lease it stated 3 business days which was this past Friday).

Otherwise, things are going! I am a few days shy of 20wks- the half way mark! The ultrasound is set for the 28th (actually I need to double check) and I have an OB check up this Wednesday. I'm pretty shocked how fast this pregnancy is going by. The past couple weeks I've felt the baby moving around. Compared to Will this baby is quite calm. (Will was using me as his personal bounce house from 16wks on!) When I feel the baby moving its more like baby is stretching out than anything else. Also, I feel like I'm carrying higher than with Will... guess I need to dig through my pictures to compare. Unlike when I was pregnant with Will, I've gained literally a couple pounds! (With Will I had gained close to 40lbs by this point. ugh)

Otherwise, we're all doing good.

19wks 1day (5 months)

About 6 months pregnant with Will (visiting family in Hawaii)
