21 weeks

Hello all,
This week was our 21 week anatomy scan. On their scales I am only up 6 lbs.. so I'm up between 6-8 lbs total. Which is good! Just gotta start watching it a little closer.
I got my anatomy scan.. and we found out we're having a boy!!! YAY!!!! He is 12 oz :) His name will be Alexander Peter Dickinson. We are both over joyed that he is healthy! We were able to count all fingers and he had a good heart beat and a nice shaped head.. (although that thing is 4 cm wide already!!!) She said he looked good and healthy.
Dr Leblanc asked for a cervix scan thinking I may have a shortening cervix but since my symptoms only happened once, they chose not to. However since then I have been having the same symptoms so I went to the hospital for a checkup. Everything is great, cervix is closed and long :D So now that I have been reassured that the baby is ok and I am ok.. I'm hoping to be able to relax a little.
I love going for my ultrasound, I love seeing him move. It was quite funny today when they were listening to his heart he kicked the doppler lol... The best thing is they give us soo many pictures. We got 6 this time! I need to get them all to walmart and scan them in and print them out!
I will be posting some of them soon!

Good week

Well we are 19 weeks on Thursday :) This has been a good week I've started feeling the baby move. My appetite is ok, I'm loving tuna and cheddar sandwiches mmmmmm! I had the energy to actually make a chicken dinner today. Although it is sooo much work, for a few minutes of yummy eats, then the clean up.. But it was yummy and Jon enjoyed it, the baby even gave a kick or two.

I have been a bit stressed this week because I worry about the baby. I hate not knowing what's going on in there. Thankfully I have a doctor appointment this Wednesday, then the following Wednesday we go for our 20 week ultrasound. Hopefully find out what the baby is. I have to meet with the FACT people at some point in March so I shouldn't worry to much about the baby. I get to hear/see it a lot!

My cravings-- broccoli casserole, sour cream and bacon chips and tuna sandwiches

Weight gained--4 lbs

Food aversions-- getting better I was able to force one salad into me this week

Inches gained--still around 5"

Goal for the next week--drink more water and workout at least 3 times

Pregnancy symptoms--Does baby kicking count as a symptom

And a few fun pics

So had some issues with the spacing in the last post.. Blogger is not the friendliest site to post multiple pics on. Its quite annoying because I can not get the spacing right although it looks fine when I'm compsing.. But thats all the pics of the baby and baby belly.

Now I shall chuck in some fun baby related pics. Callie believes that everything that is brought into the house HAS to be for her. I mean who else could it be for????

A new bed for me!!! Awesome!
