Week 16

A little catching up to do.....We had a 4D ulrasound last Thursday and were able to see that we are having a baby boy! Everything looked great, we could see that all vital organs were present and looked great! He is a very active baby and was moving during the entire ultrasound. Hopefully I will be able to feel him move a little more regularly soon. I have been able to feel very light, intermittent movements, but nothing regular, and nothing that Giles can feel! We had our 16 week check up at the OB this week and she confirmed that everything looked great!! I am finally feeling better, no nausea, less fatigue and no more sciatica!! Thank Goodness! We were able to register this past weekend and had so much fun (at least I, Kim, did!) I can admit it was a little overwhelming, but I feel we are finally "getting into the pregnancy."

We have narrowed down names....although we have decided not to share our final choice until he gets here (we have to have something for ourselves!!) Otherwise we are staying busy. Giles and I have both had summer classes this summer. Giles leaves next week for a conference in Baltimore and will be gone most of the week. I found out that a project of mine has been accepted for presentation at a national nurses' conference in November in Jacksonville, FL. I am very excited because Giles is going to go with me, so we will be able to have a "last trip" together before the baby comes. However, I am a little nervous about traveling that far away from home when I will be 35 weeks pregnant! We will definately have a bag packed and the carseat in the car just in case baby boy decides to come early! We are doing great and enjoying our days off together. We are getting close to being done with our master bath remodel (I will post before and after pictures) and can then start working on the nursery! We will keep everyone posted on our happenings (I WILL get better about updating this post)!!
