We have also crossed a couple of pretty exciting milestones recently. We had the anatomy ultrasound and learned that we are adding a little girl to our family! She is doing well and measuring just as she should be at this point. We are both super excited, though I will admit I was convinced that it was a boy so I was definitely surprised to hear the technician say it was a girl. We also passed the 20 week mark which means we are now over halfway to meeting our little one! It has gone by quickly at this point.
The weather has been unusually warm lately which I have loved, but it is also making me wonder what the rest of the summer will be like if we were already in the 80's in early May. I am betting I will be glad we have air conditioning!
A little while ago I joined a Meet Up group for new and expecting moms and it has been great. We meet on Saturday's and go for a walk for an hour or so. When the weather was not as nice we went to the mall before it was open and did laps (that's right, I was a mall walker!) and now with the improved conditions we have gone to a couple parks to enjoy the sunshine. It has been nice to have other mom's and mom's to be to ask questions and compare notes with. What stroller do they like? What type of carrier? Do we really need a wipe warmer? All the things you don't really know until you have done it. Plus it will be great to have a group of friends with kids the same age in the future.
Jake has been so great through this process and I know that will continue to be the case. Whether I need something and just don't feel like getting up, or I break down in tears because I spilled a little salad dressing on the floor (thanks a lot of hormones!), he is there for me and I couldn't do this without him.
And of course no post is complete without pictures:
