3d/4d Ultrasound

Byron and I had an appointment for a 3d/4d Ultrasound today.  Its an elective ultrasound.  Unless the pregnancy is high risk or there is concern, the normal prenatal care includes only an early dating ultrasound and the anatomy scan at 18-20 weeks.

So we got to go to a nice comfy office with a big screen TV and watch Baby Johnson for about a half hour.  It was really cool.  He didn't want to sit still and was obsessed with his hands.  You could even see the outline of some hair on his head.

Here are some screen shots from today's ultrasound and a video clip.  He weighs about 3.5 pounds according to the US measurements.  His cheeks are plumping up and over the next 8-10 weeks he will pack on an average of a half a pound a week.  Wish me luck! lol

30 Weeks

30 weeks has arrived, only 10 weeks left until due date!  Definitely starting to feel bigger.  30 week doctor appt was on Friday and everything looks normal and Baby Johnson is measuring right on track.  Baby Johnson weight about 3-3.5 pounds right now which will likely double by my due date. 


Tater is still loving the bump, even as a comfortable foot rest!

29 Weeks

Time is starting to fly by a little too fast now! Already 29 weeks which is a week or two into the 3rd (and final) trimester!

I started work on March 18th at SK Food Group, where Byron works, as a HR Specialist.  Feels good to be back at work.  I'll be there through June and then hopefully go back a few months after baby should they need me.

Tyler & Trinity are here for Spring Break this week.  We played some games at Circus Circus and hit up the arcade at the Peppermill last weekend.   Today we had some family photos taken in the wind near the Washoe Valley State Park.



As far as the pregnancy goes, I'm turning into a bit of a waddler. I'm carrying the baby low and already getting the pressure and sciatic nerve pain that makes me walk slower.  Other than that things are pretty good, I'm just happy to have a healthy pregnancy thus far.  My "cute bump" is starting to grow a lot faster into a full grown belly. 


Tater can't get enough of snuggling nowadays.  He either loves his little brother already or I'm just a lot warmer than I used to be so he is taking advantage of that.  Either way its pretty darn cute.


Will update soon with pics of our little nursery area.  We painted Trinity's room and Baby Johnson will be sharing the closet corner.  We put together the crib and are hanging some pictures soon.
