Knock Knock...

So I am now in my 21st week in pregnancy. I can't believe time has flown by so quickly! I started feeling the baby move about 4 weeks ago, but he's been moving more and more lately. It's not consistent or hard enough for anyone else to feel it yet, but I'm sure it will be soon. I don't remember if this one is moving around more than Emily did. It's amazing how quickly I've forgotten.

After reading the previous paragraph, you may have noticed that I used the pronoun "he". Don't get excited though... we had an ultrasound yesterday, but we decided not to find out the sex, so we're not sure if there's a girl or a boy on the way. I just don't want to refer to the baby as "it" for the next 4 1/2 months, so I guess the pronoun will change with my mood from here on out.

The doctor says the baby looks great, and her size is right on, so she's right on schedule to whenever she feels like in mid-July. (See I switched it up already...)

To answer the question I've heard a lot already, no I am not really showing yet. Looks like a repeat of the last time around. I'm a little surprised though, since I definitely haven't had time to work on my abs much between the pregnancies, and everyone says you show more the second time around. Not showing definitely has its benefits though... I am still able to sleep on my stomach, which is great because I'm still able to sleep well at night. I guess the major disadvantage is that it's not obvious by looking at me that I'm pregnant... I don't think most people at work know, and the ones who don't probably think I've just fallen off the Weight Watchers wagon or something.

I haven't had a chance to post the pictures from the ultrasound yet, but I'll try to get them together so I can share them with everyone. There aren't any very good ones this time around though because there were some communication problems between the baby and the technician, but we got a picture of the feet, the spine/body from behind, and a thumbs up.
