Our anatomy scan was on August 23rd at 17w6d. The baby looked great. It was even measuring about 2 days ahead. They said the heart looked good and they wouldn't do an echo. I thought that this ultrasound would help me relax, but I was still concerned that something could be wrong. I think my main worry was that I had not felt any movement, and I thought I should have felt something by then. I felt a few very strong kicks from Lauren at 16 weeks. Of course I don't think I felt any regular movement until 19-20 weeks with her. Finally I started feeling movement with this baby at 18.5 weeks, and then no movement for like another week. Then on Wednesday morning at exactly 20 weeks I was lying in bed getting ready to get up and I felt some good movement. I have felt the baby moving quite a bit ever since then, and I am feeling great about things.
We had our gender reveal party on Labor Day, and it was so much fun. The cake turned out great. When I went to cut it I did it very slowly, and it was funny because you could see icing from the top of the cake pink and blue, so one minute you would think boy and then girl. When we saw the inside there was no question-GIRL! I wasn't really surprised, but Steve was! After finding out Krista said I better check the ultrasound picture. I had totally forgot about it. I checked and the cake was right! Now we are thinking of girl names. At first I didn't have many I liked, but now I have a few I really like.
I went to the doctor this past Wednesday and he said I could have an echo. He said if it was going to worry me I should just go ahead and do it. So we are scheduled for September 27th. Other than that not much is going on. The big sister continues to make us laugh and smile continuously!
