Try this link.....

This link should take you to YouTube where the videos were uploaded. The heartbeat does not include sound, but it is fun to see how fast it goes.

Two great links.....

I went through the CD the Dr. gave and have posted two great videos. One of the babies heartbeat, which unfortunately the sound isn't working, but you can see how fast it beats. The second is of the baby playing hide and seek during the ultrasound.

An update......the baby now kicks like crazy. During take off and landing of our flight to/from Hawaii the baby was fluttering around the entire time. I feel so much movement it is wonderful to lie awake and feel every kick and squirm. Jeff finally got to feel the baby move and kick last Thursday and he could not believe the movement. We have an active baby on our hands!

The Big Appointment!

So we had our 20 week fetal scan today. So much fun. We found out what we were having after some major coaxing to get the baby to cooperate. "It" is breach and had it's legs crossed. My placenta is in front and is absorbing most of the kicking, thank goodness because during the ultrasound it was kicking my bladder beyond belief. The technician could not believe how much movement we encountered. We got to watch "it" suck it thumb, open it's mouth to yawn, and got a great look of it's face. It was absolutely beautiful. Everything is forming wonderfully and all of the vital organs look good and healthy, which was the most important and puts my fears to rest. We got a CD full of tons of pictures and lots of pictures to keep. There are some amazing ones of the feet and face. It was an amazing day!

20 weeks....

We have reached the halfway point. I began to feel a little movement yesterday in my belly finally! The little flutters have begun. I stayed awake almost all night feeling them and would wake Jeff every few minutes to check them out...unfortunately the baby would not cooperate. I am having an upside down pregnancy. I had to wear maternity pants at 6 weeks, now at 20 weeks, I am back into my regular clothes again. Huh? Very weird!

This Friday we find out if it is a little boy or girl, but everyone will have to wait. We are not going to tell until Christmas! By then we hopefully will have decided on a name, because as of right now, there are a few front runners, but nothing we can decide on. I will post a little recap of the appointment and maybe the ultrasound. An updated belly photo will also pop up in the next week or two, but there isn't much to see!

Next week........Hawaii aka Heaven!
