A bunch of new developments this week, but I'm going to start with our anatomy scan! Last Friday, the 20th Justin and I took the girls for my ultrasound. I had been worried that they wouldn't let the girls in the room, or that they'd act up so much that it would suck, but neither really happened so it was a good appointment! I can't say the girls were angels, they cried for me to pick them up when they saw I was laying on the table, but the technician was awesome and let me hold the girls on the table and told me that if I thought they were bothering here at all that I didn't need to worry because she has kids too and knows exactly how it is. She thought they were the cutest things ever, and she was really nice during the ultrasound. Bitty was a little quiet, kinda sleepy, he did move and twist a little bit but he wasn't going crazy or anything. She wasn't able to get all of his measurements because he was so sleepy so I have to go back in 4 weeks for another follow up ultrasound, not that I mind!
And if you didn't notice the pronouns I was using in that last paragraph, yes Bitty Bean is a BOY! We're so excited to bring a little boy into our family and I can't wait to see how much like daddy he looks like! He's going to be the cutest little guy in the world if he's anything like his beautiful sisters, and I get happy and excited every day thinking about meeting him! I'm trying not to be impatient but it's hard!
Another new and exciting development - on Saturday night he started kicking me! I could feel distinct little thumps and they've been getting better every day since then! Yesterday he was just kicking and thumping away, and he's been a busy little guy today too! I LOVE feeling the movement, it just makes everything so much more real! Feeling movement this time around has been almost 2 weeks earlier than when I felt it with the girls, so I was surprised to say the least! I thought for sure I was going to have to wait until 20 weeks again! Not complaining though!
Symptoms - Stretching cramps, have good and bad days with fatigue, always have heartburn, but now I get to add baby movement to the list!
Food cravings - I got an Icee on Friday, and another one on Saturday!! I still want one!
Size of baby - An heirloom tomato apparently. At the ultrasound he was approximately 9oz, and according to websites he should be about 10" or so. It's so weird that you can literally feel someone so small!
