My next 3D/4D ultrasound will be when I am 27 weeks on October 29th and my last ultrasound is going to be when I am 31 weeks which will be on November 26th.

22 Weeks - Prenatal Visit Update

Peyton is doing great and growing normally. Heartbeat is strong. After advising my doctor that it feels like to me that Peyton is doing jumping jacks on my bladder, she did a physical exam and confirmed that he is still down really, really low.... which made me become great friends with the toilet. But as long as he is healthy and striving, I can handle the constant bathroom trips.

Where is the Time Going?

It is hard to believe that I am half way through my pregnancy. It seems like yesterday when I saw the positive sign on the pregnancy test. I won't be long before my little Peyton Connor is in my arms!!!!Monday I make 23 weeks and my first 4D ultrasound is Saturday. I am very excited to see the baby up close for the first time. I have my fingers crossed that the baby will allow us to get good pictures. If not, well I do have my second ultrasound to look forward to. I am waiting for a nice cool day (hopefully this weekend) so that I can go upstairs and open the windows and start cleaning out completely Peyton's room. Then, I will have to sweet talk Daddy into painting. :) I have a doctors appointment today so I will have an updated report shortly.

4D Ultrasound

Our first 4D is scheduled for September 29th at 10:30 a.m. We have two more visits after that.

First Real Kick (or Punch)

Monday I made 21 weeks. Last night I felt Peyton's first real kick (or punch). It kind of startled me a little. He did it once since then, but I mostly feel him just moving around.

Cute Baby Clothes

We are already getting clothes from the grandparents. Check out the pictures of the cute clothes we got so far including a cute little Saints outfit. By next football season Peyton should be able to wear it. Peyton has been moving so much lately. I feel him practically every day now. I am now starting to recognize his rest and active periods. This morning around 6:30 he was very active. I have not posted belly pictures yet. So that is coming soon. I finally had to break down and buy maternity clothes since I couldn't fit in my regular clothes anymore. Now I am hooked. I want more maternity clothes. The girl at the check out counter told me that the bigger your stomach gets the cuter the clothes are. So, I am going back for more. My next doctors appointment is September 27th.

19 Weeks - Prenatal Visit Update

Peyton is doing great. He is getting bigger by the day. And I feel him more and more.

I complained to the doctor that I have been having a lot of pressure in my bladder which causes constant bathroom breaks and menstral-like discomfort at times. I know this happens later in a pregnancy, but didn't think I would feel the pressure this soon. The doctor checked to see if I had an infection which turns out that I didn't. After the ultrasound, she told me that the baby is really down low and just likes being low in my belly at this time. That is where he comfortable. She said that eventually he will move up.

Peyton's Movements

I started feeling the baby move around the beginning of last week. Not so much when I stand, but when I sit down or lay down. I feel Peyton flopping around right below my belly button. Kevin and I have a doppler and it is neat to listen to him move around and it is really strange when I feel his poke along with the move he makes. It won't be long now before I feel EVERY move he makes! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.
