21 weeks and tired!

Here's a picture of my 21 week belly. This has been such a fun week already. The baby has been kicking a ton, to the point where you can see the kicks on the outside of my belly! Andy has been able to feel the baby moving really easily, and he even got kicked in the head last night when I was holding his head in my lap on the couch. It was funny!

My mom came over last week to start the mural in the baby's room. It is only at the sketching stage, but it already looks amazing! I cant wait for her to get the paint on the wall. The hutch/changing table arrived last week, but we havent set it up in the room yet. I'm trying to give mom as blank of a canvas as possible. I am so anxious for the crib to get delivered so we can really start setting up the nursery. I was just telling Andy we need to get a date on the calendar to go register for the baby stuff! I cant believe we are a week away from July already!!

I have really wanted chocolate this week. My sweet tooth seems to have resurfaced, but I am trying to watch my sugars, as I keep hearing how miserable the gestational diabetes test is. I still dont want lunch meat at all, but am getting back into cooking since smells dont bother me as much anymore.

Here's the 21 week belly. Please remember the title of this post...TIRED! I am so exhausted.

20 Week Progress

Here's my belly shot at 20 weeks. Finally, it's becoming clear that I am not just pudgy but do in fact have a little baby in my belly! I'm still in regular pants for the most part, but none are buttoning and few are zipping...thank the Lord for Belly Bands! I feel a shopping trip approaching!

I have really wanted carbs lately...still pizza and mexican, but cereal and breads of any kind are the latest cravings. Also, I have been dying for donuts in the mornings! I havent partaken, but I wake up thinking of Long's Bakery chocolate covered yeast donuts. Yum!

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow where I will learn of the ultrasound results, if everything is on track, and weigh in. I'll let you all know how that goes.

Baby Hahn at 19 weeks and 3 days

We just got back from our ultrasound appointment! Baby Hahn was pretty mellow this time. I made sure to say good morning to the ultrasound tech and then immediately followed that by, "We do NOT want to know the sex of the baby, so please dont tell us." She was very good at referring to our little one as "the baby" when talking us through the images, but there was one time she dropped a male pronoun. Hmmm...was that a slip or just the use of the generic?!



Andy's voting that the baby is a boy at this point, whereas I have thought the whole time that we are going to have a girl.



The ultrasound tech said the baby is measuring at 19 weeks and 3 days, right on par with my math, so we are back to a due date of Halloween, October 31, 2009!! This will be the official due date from this point forward, though I read somewhere that only 5% of women actually deliver on the official due date. Time will tell!



Cravings are still pizza and mexican these days with exhaustion and acid reflux being my main symptoms. I feel pretty great though! The dogs are getting used to me coming straight home and napping on the couch with them for an hour. No complaints here!


Take a look at Baby Hahn at 19 weeks and 3 days:


This first shot is a profile picture of the face, forehead at the top left, with the little eye and cheek to follow toward the right.

The second set of pictures is another profile picture followed by a great shot of the spine.


Absolutely in love with this baby already!
