Our Itty Bitty at 21 1/2 weeks

I suppose it's about time I post ultrasound pics, or in this case pic, like any good mama would. Here's the thing, I was super excited for the 20 week ultrasound, yes, even though we weren't finding out the gender. I absolutely love the ultrasound pics I got of Emma or Ali and their cute little faces, fingers, feet...I love their ultrasound pictures almost more than any other pics I have of them. Weird, I know. I think maybe it's because the ultrasound pictures really show the miracle of a baby. Anyway, this current itty bitty I'm growing didn't want to cooperate at all. AT. ALL. Little stink. It pretty much curled up in a tight little ball and slept the whole time (after being awake all night throwing what felt like a dance party in my uterus). Every once in awhile it would kick out in annoyance if we poked or prodded it enough but that was pretty much it. Like I said, little stink. So, enjoy this picture of it's foot. I've gone ahead and drawn a sloppy circle around it (in a gender neutral color of course).

That foot is pretty much the only thing we got to see, well besides it's spine, brain, heart, kidneys and such. Maybe it's the mama in me but I do think it's the cutest little foot I've ever seen. Luckily (in a way) I get another ultrasound in a month to check up on a little problem they noticed with itty bitty's kidney. Hopefully the wee one will be a bit more cooperative then.

Other pregnancy news? I haven't barfed in almost a week. Which, I'm telling you, is HUGE!!! Oh, how I detest barfing. I kept thinking I would start to get used to it, but nope, never did. Here's hoping this barf-free streak holds out a bit longer.

I have an obvious little baby bump now. In fact I took the girls to Old Navy today so I could buy some new prego-wear. I couldn't bear to wear the old, ratty ones that I have the last two pregnancies. Well that and we are heading out mtn. biking tomorrow (wish me luck) and I needed bike-wear that I don't look ridiculous in.

I've started exercising again! For some reason with this pregnancy I am so flippin' exhausted...all. the. time. It's like the first trimester exhaustion never left. Exercise, I have found, helps a bit. Luckily I have an awesome gym buddy.

Last but not least, I'm getting crazy excited about this baby. Especially now that I'm starting to feel better and can comprehend maybe being able to take care of 3 little ones.
