Ultrasound Pictures

So instead of scanning these baby pictures I will just take a picture of it. I just can't cut each of them separately.  It just works so well with a magnet on my fridge. So once the baby is born I will probably scan them. But for you all, you get the lower quality version. So just for memory's sake, my weight at my 20 week visit was 162, blood pressure 105 over 70 (or 60). Baby weighs 12 oz. The baby is weighing one day early but thats not enough of a difference to change the due date. Baby's heart-rate was 158. And as I type this the baby is pushing on my lower abdomen and kicking a lot. She must know I'm talking about her.
And I guess more on baby things going on, I'm still super excited and anxious (good anxious, not I want to puke anxious) to see what people are giving me as hand me downs. I remember looking through the stuff people gave me for Grant and loving the adorable little outfits.  So I am excited for that. Then I can really solidify what I need on my baby registry. I have been obsessed with registering this time around probably because we are having a girl. I have been trying to decide between three strollers: The Duoglider by Graco, the Ready2Grow Sit and Stand by Graco, or the Jeep Traveler Tandem double stroller. I'm a fan of Jeep since I already have their single stroller. The Duoglider is lighter than the Ready2Grow and the Jeep one weighs more than both. I guess I'm hoping for the Duoglider that can have the Graco Snugride 35 car seat attached. I know one version of it can only have the regular snugride car seat. I also was researching top of stair gates for babies. This little girl will be crawling by the time we  move so we will need that gate.  I think the most affordable durable one would be the Evenflo Top-of-Stair plus wood gate.
I also decided that we were going to use the den as the baby's nursery.  Yay! I get to decorate a baby bedroom! With Grant he got a little baby corner in our room and then when we moved I didn't feel much at liberty to do what I wanted to his room since we were living with my parents for a while. Without knowing it we live in a potential three bedroom apartment! So first I was not excited to do that because we watch movies in our den but then we decided that we could find a desk and put that where the crib was going to go and make the den shelves and drawers be all the baby's stuff and that table is perfect as a changing table. so I cleared out the floor of the den and rebuilt the crib and put it in there. I think we will use Grant's dresser in there if we can't fit all the baby clothes in those drawers. Then we can get Grant a bigger dresser since he has bigger clothes, and also put his bedding there too.  So that is basically all the baby prep going on here. I really want to hit up DI to buy a little dress and some cute sandals too. Hmm need a car. Oh well. If you have any input about strollers and gates let me know.

So in case you can't read what the ultrasound tech wrote this is the profile of the foot.  I think its really cute!

This is the bird's eye view of the head and on the top is the hand curled up next to her face. 

This is her face. Looks weird but try to look with out thinking it looks like a skull, 2d ultrasounds do that. 

This is the heart. The lower are the heart beats. I could see the heart about the size of a cantaloupe on their huge flat screen. Really cool.

Beloved profile picture. However the tech should have taken a more straight on true profile pic. You can tell its at the wrong angle because you can see both sets of rib bones clearly. Still cute though. 

And the most awkward to present but most loved pictures is the crotch. Yes she is a girl. I'm sure there is always a slight chance she is a he but we are hoping for the former of course. 

I think my favorite is the foot picture. If the profile picture was more on then I might like that one better but they are all great to have!
