Well, I’ve made it to 22 weeks. That’s pretty exciting! At the beginning, I thought I would never get here. It’s hard to believe I still have 18 more weeks to go (hopefully). It’s been interesting so far. My 18 week sonogram didn’t show us the sex or the spine. It did show us that my cervix was jutted up right next to the placenta. That’s not something they want. We were told that it could still move, which is what we want. Today, it moved a little. Instead of mild placenta previa I now have a low lying placenta. It doesn’t sound as bad and I get to go back in a month to check it again. The good part about all this is that I keep getting sonograms since they are checking for all of that. Typically the last one is the 20 week. The sonographer was able to tell/show mom what the baby is. We are having our gender reveal party (thanks to my awesome sister in law & brother) tomorrow night so we will all find out what it is then. I cannot wait to find out if it will be a boy or a girl. We have the names picked out (and will reveal those tomorrow night as well) and will find out coconut’s real name. I also get to start shopping!! Since I’m off work this week, mom and I are going to register. Yay!! Here are some pics of the little one. Each time we go in, its hands are in its face/mouth. This time its legs were up by the head as well. (Just a secret – When I went in last time on Monday & on Thursday for sonos, the legs were in the same position. My thoughts were “is it paralyzed”?!? Yep – that’s how my crazy paranoid mind works!)

The little foot up by the head.

The face looking right at us as soon as we started. He/she was saying hi :) I think it's a little scary since it still looks like a skeleton :)
