SECOND TRIMESTER!!!

Today, is day two, of the middle of our pregnancy! Lot's of exciting things have been happening regarding the baby. KB is starting to pop out just a little bit, and her uterus is starting to make it's presence known. We went in for an ultrasound to do a nuchal screening. Baby was not cooperating...we saw the baby hiccuping (we think) and squirming around all over the place. You could see the baby's brain, and could make out the different bones in the arms and legs...two arms, two legs...so that's good!

KB thought she saw what looked like testicles on the ultrasound monitor...but it's too early for testicles to drop...so that is not what she saw. The ultrasound technician, however, stated that at this age, she usually sees a penis if one is there, and she doesn't see it. She was strongly suggesting that the baby is a girl...but wouldn't come out and say it. She said we'd know for sure at our 20 week ultrasound,so we will wait patiently (or not) to see what we are having on April 2nd!

That is not that far off at all!!!

While we were having the ultrasound, we also saw baby dancing around, doing somersaults and having a grand old time her/his legs were pretty long already as well...so that was fun.

Back at the house, it already looks like we are parents! My parents are still going crazy. They sent us a pack-n-play two days ago, and they also sent another package with baby book and scrapbooking material, a stuffed animal, and a variety of baby clothes/supplies. My mom also thinks she might be able to get a discount on a me.della double hands-free breast pump from work...so that will probably arrive shortly as well!!!

It's pretty fun around here.

And it's good to be in the second trimester, finally. I feel like we can take a deep breath and relax a little now.

Here are some pics of our product-tester/crash-test dummy and the new items:

He's not so sure about it all...
