baby week 18

had a "belly check" today while the kids were in school.  maddux just watches/listens quietly.  baby's heart rate sounds good and the doctor confirmed that this on is quite the mover!  his guess was a boy but he said that he has been wrong all day.

bummed to find out that we have to wait until 22 weeks for the ultrasound!  oh well.  i was able to schedule it when matt and the kids can join me.

on a related note, matt was able to feel the baby move too the other night - i think on the 8th.  this kid is very busy and seems to be awake during the day.  so much of this pregnancy reminds me of madelyn's that i am really 'feeling' that it is a girl but i was wrong with maddux too...

i hate 'belly pictures' but will try and take one soon - or at least when we go to the ultrasound.  i think i just look 'thick' as opposed to pregnant.  i thought that i would show much quicker with this one, being #4, but i haven't really rounded out yet.

more in a few weeks. love.

Happy to hear all is going well so far with #4. Was baby MLG not cooperating or does this dr. not do gender ultrasound until 22 weeks?

the doctor was just listening to the heart beat. none of our babies have been very cooperative for the heart beat listen (usually they are very hard to find which got us an ultrasound with this one). this one just kept moving away. he found the baby four times before he could get the actual heart rate.

they are just making me/us wait until 22 weeks for the ultrasound! i hate having to wait longer than 20 weeks. we are really excited to find out.
