Baby update: Baby boy was doing well. He is very much decidedly not a mover and shaker (at least for appointments). The tech measured what she needed to and everything looks good and is on target. Little man is approximately 1.5 lbs right now and had a heart rate of 154 bpm. He was pretty stubborn in showing his face...in fact didn't really show it enough for the anatomy scan to be complete but the tech didn't seem all that worried (or super friendly for that matter haha). She made a note about not being able to measure or visualize the face well and said Dr B could follow up with this if he wanted to. My ob/gyn has my due date for October 7th and since everything keeps measuring accurate for this I've decided to adopt it over my October 9th given by UCRM's office.
Cravings: Salads and sandwiches. Sweets (unfortunately). Chinese...I have yet to enjoy some good crab/cream cheese wontons. I figure the crab is imitation so therefore probably safe.
Weight Gain: 4 lbs up from pre-pregnancy weight.
Movement / Symptoms: Feeling more movement and typically every day, usually around my bladder. I think the anterior placenta has kept things pretty quiet on this front so far.
Day to Day: Definitely feeling better and more energy. We went to Zions National Park and enjoyed some nature walks/hikes. It was nice to have our girls in tow as I was able to go at a slow pace. I'm not in great shape and probably even slower with pregnancy. Hoping to get some cleaning and organizing going before I get to the uncomfortable stage again.
Baby Prep: Super Mario nursery decor although I haven't started on this still.
The Girls: They are doing well and loving summer. They loved staying at the condo for Zion and going hiking and swimming. We're going to head to a movie in the park with them tonight.
Looking forward to: An actual 3D scan where we can baby boy's face haha We haven't really had any great u/s pictures with this pregnancy so far. Maybe they try harder to give you some cute pictures with your first pregnancy or maybe he really is this stubborn. Anyway hoping to see a cute chubby cheeked picture in the next bit.
Next visit: July 10th glucose test and appointment.

Update: 22 weeks
Baby update: Baby boy was doing well at our appointment. He doesn't seem to be much of a mover and is always pretty chill. Hopefully he'll be a wonderful mellow baby as well. He measured a couple days ahead again and was about 0.75 lbs. Dr B estimated he would be about 7.5 lbs or so if I go full term.
Cravings: Nothing really. I like salads still and sandwiches like Subway (probably shouldn't). Nothing ever sends me running to the store or restaurant to go eat it though.
Weight Gain: 2 lbs up from pre-pregnancy weight.
Symptoms: Feeling a little more movement but not always. Did find out I have an anterior placenta though so that is probably muffling some of the movement going on. Usually he starts wiggling if I haven't eaten breakfast and right after I eat or when I lay down to sleep at night.
Day to Day: Definitely feeling better and more energy. Painted two of our larger walls in our house (as in ladder needed). They were a creamy yellow neutral from the previous owner and I finally got my way (love ya Jeff) and we splurged on a copy gallons of nice cream light brown/tan to paint it all). Still many walls to go but hey it's getting there. I am trying not to paint the baby's room this time but who knows what will happen.
Baby Prep: Super Mario nursery it is. I ordered some sheets to use for material and a plush Mario. I'm excited to get going on it. I've also bought some gently used baby boy clothes, a gently used nursing pillow, a carseat and a couple new outfits courtesy of Khols sending me a $10 off $10 or more coupon.
The Girls: They are doing well and loving summer. We've been sick with fevers and sniffles the last couple weeks which is no fun but we're heading into the clear now and going to hit more parks and splash pad fun. Our little blow up pool is waiting in the backyard as we speak (might need an upgrade as it really is quite little hehe)
Looking forward to: We are heading down with the girls to our southern state for some relaxing and hiking this weekend and into the week for a few days. We'll stay at a condo we're renting in St. George and then do some hiking and exploring in Zions National Park. Sooooo looking forward to it. The condo has a community pool and playground and other fun stuff (hope my swimsuit will fit). Plus some good eats will be had :)
Next visit: June 12th for targeted ultrasound/anatomy scan.

| I bought tops a couple sizes up from my normal on clearance at Walmart and was going to rouche them with elastic thread so they weren't so frumpy...getting to the "eh who cares" point though HAHA |

| HAHA...Like I said it's small. Time for an upgrade I think. They still LOVED it. |
