Today I am officially 22 weeks pregnant! I went to the doctor yesterday, and thought this would be a great time to do another baby update!
I love that my doctor does ultrasounds at every visit. He got some great developmental photos today.
We are growing one smart little girl! Here's a picture of her brain:
And, her legs- these are what have been kicking me nonstop on Tuesday and Wednesday! Thankfully, Thursday was a little less kicking.
My doctor also has 4D and he managed to capture this picture of our sweet little girl. He also said that with 4D technology, we can see if babies will have cleft lips. As a SLP, I thought that was totally cool. (That may just be my nerdy side.)
Here's a picture I snapped of myself before heading out the door to my doctor's appointment.
I also did this comparison photos of all three girls from around the 20 week range. Gretchen is on the top left. Megan is below her on the bottom left. The right photo is this baby girl.
I think all the girls have the same nose and definitely look alike.
The baby should be about 11 inches long (about the size of a spaghetti squash.) She should also weigh about 1 lb.
I have felt pretty well in this 2nd trimester; besides two days of indigestion. I've gained 20 pounds, and yes, I know that is a lot, but I also gain a lot with my pregnancies, and I've lost it every time. So, i'm not too concerned. I'm wearing maternity jeans and pants, although I can get away with one pair of my jeans, as long as I have the bella band. Most of the shirts I'm wearing are maternity shirts, or at least a size medium.
I've been craving more fruits lately. I still enjoy ice cream, and i'm treating myself to a turkey burger and sweet potato fries from Backyard Burgers once a week. I may need to invest in their stock.
My mom has started on the crib bedding and has finished the bumpers, but my grandma is going to sew on the trim. My mom is hoping to complete the bed skirt this weekend. I've started my registry at Target, but it's no where near complete. I've began to look at dressers, but I'm going to have to be very creative b/c i'm not finding what I want. The baby has a few new outfits and a new pair of shoes.
DJ and I have finally agreed on the spelling of the baby's name..... Adalyn Pearl.
Adalyn is named after a wife of the first immigrant to the US in DJ's family. Her name was Ada, and she went by Addie. Addie is also a family name on my grandfather's side of the family. Her middle name is Pearl because Gretchen and Megan's name both mean Pearl.
My next appointment is in April, and I think i'll have the gestational diabetes pre-test, and hopefully that will come out well!
DJ hasn't felt Adalyn kick..... every time he tries, she stops. I think she's showing her stubborn side!
Here's to the next few months!!!
