20 weeks, 1 day

I am officially halfway there! Baby's moments have become more and more noticeable in the last week or so. Seems as though baby decides to wake up when I am tired and ready to settle down for the night, and usually is pretty active in the morning after I get to work and sit down at my desk. I am feeling great for the most part....with the exception of some minor back pain, and being pretty tired. Cedar and I met up with friends Joe & Vinka, Mateo, and baby Sky, and enjoyed a relaxing camping trip on the East side of the mountains. Aside from the restless sleep, it was a very nice, but short weekend for baby P's first camping trip.
My tummy feels as though it is getting bigger by the day! Still wearing my regular jeans, unbuttoned with a bella band =).....not sure how much longer that is going to last!

First Ultra Sound - 19 Weeks & 2 Days

Today we had our first ultra sound of Baby Paddock. Everything looks great, and baby is healthy...weighs about 10 ounces, ten fingers & ten little toes. Baby was being a bit stubborn...not giving us too many great pictures, but we were able to get a couple good ones when baby wasn't hiding its face =).

Baby's Profile and little fist


I feel like baby has grown a lot in the last couple weeks...at least that is what my tummy seems to be showing! All of a sudden my little baby bump has turned into a large tummy over night!

17 weeks,1 day and a flutter!!!

Had a really hard time sleeping last night.....I was up, on and off from 2:00am to 5:30am, with the "round ligament pains" in my lower abdomen.
As I was waking up this morning I felt a little "flutter" in my lower abdomen. Not sure it was the baby, I just laid there hoping it might happen again. Then about 15 seconds later, the same little "flutter".....and then another about 5 seconds later. It was so cool to finally get to feel baby! I rolled over to Cedar, and tapped him on the shoulder and said " I felt it!"....he said "really are you sure?!.....thats cool hun!". We are scheduled for our first ultra sound on May 20th, and I can hardly wait to see our little jelly bean!
