A Sneak Peek at Our Little Sweetie

Last week we were scheduled for our 20 week anatomy scan. Mr. Cherry and I loaded the two girls into the van and headed for the clinic. The girls did pretty well. Peachy really liked watching and Cream climbed on and off of her daddy's lap, the extra chair, and a stool in the room. (Poor Mr. Cherry was left to wrangle!)

Everything was looking great with our new little one. (S)He was active the entire time. It was fun to watch the movements as I was feeling them. Now I know when I feel movements on the left it is probably an arm or elbow and on the right it is most likely a kick.

Some of the 3d images are just so awesome! It looks like a real baby, if you know what I mean! A few days after the scan we heard back from the doctor's office that everything looks right on track and that they got all of the images that they needed.

We are thanking the Lord for a healthy and uneventful pregnancy to date.

20 Weeks with Number Two

I decided to get a major hair cut. What do you think?

Halfway there!! Living in the day to day, it seems like I have been pregnant for a while. However, when I look back at it doesn't seem possible that I am already 20 weeks pregnant with our little baby Cream. (You can see how I was looking and feeling with Peachy at 20 weeks here.) Last week we were able to take a peek at our little one with our anatomy scan. We have chosen again to keep that gender a surprise to be revealed in the delivery room. While everything looked good with our little one, they were unable to get clear pictures of a few things, so we get to head back for another at the end of this month. As long as everything is okay, I will happily take another look.

I am still feeling really well. Just your run of the mill pregnancy aches and pains to complain about. Peachy continues to be very excited about the baby in momma's tummy. I can't wait for her to be able to feel him/her moving around in there. (So far I have been able to feel the rolls, punches, and kicks, but you can't feel them from the outside.) I am really looking forward to spring making its arrival known and felt in these parts. I can't wait to start playing outside and walking and breathing the fresh air. I think it will feel good to get this pregnant body moving. That and being able to grill out. A nice juicy burger fresh off the grill sounds delicious right now.

The Halfway Point

Today marks the midpoint of my pregnancy! I am still doing really well. It is true what they say about the 2nd trimester being the easy one. We will get to see our little one in January via ultrasound. We are hoping to keep the gender a surprise, we will see if he/she cooperates. According to what I read, I should be able to feel his/hers movements at any time. So far I haven't felt anything except for a bit of indigestion. :o) Maybe he/she takes after her parents and is being stubborn.
