I'm 20 weeks old today!!!

As promised, here are my most recent pictures...this is a side view of me and my head is to the right of the frame. If you look you can see my spine too. While my pictures were being taken I moved around a lot. In fact one of my favorite positions was to lay with one or both of my arms draped over my head. VERY comfortable. Doesn't it look like I'm blowing bubbles too?
I'm officially 'half-baked' and I weigh 7 ounces give or take an ounce or two. The doctor said I was doing well....YEAH!!!

Below is a picture of my foot...can you see it??? It's at the top in the middle of the image. I also like to hold on to my foot with one hand when I'm hanging out. It's another comfortable position for me.

The third picture is similar to the first one only this time I think you can see my profile a little better.

I can't wait to meet you all...please keep up the prayers and good thoughts for me.

Whew, what a relief...Peanut's 20-week appointment went really well. Our sonogram showed that h/she had 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 functioning kidneys, a good, strong heartbeat, a normal head....you name it, it seems that his/her development is going well. Peanut is weighing in at a whopping 7 ounces (give or take an ounce or two). The heartbeat according to the sono was around 139 beats per minute. Its lower than the last two doppler's registered but according to the doc its still well within the normal range. During the sonogram, Peanut seemed to be laying with one and sometimes both arms draped over his/her head. There's a lot of movement but I'm not feeling much, at least I don't think I am. My placenta is a little low right now and in 5 weeks (thanks to RB being in the Phillipines) we will have another sono to ensure the placenta moves away from my cervix. Pictures will be posted (if I can figure out how to post them) soon...
OH! I almost forgot - Peanuts due date is now October 14th instead of the 15th. If this keeps up he/she will be earlier than we have ever thought about being.

Are you serious....week 20 already???

So the growing Kastilooney family has reached 20 weeks and that means the Peanut is half-baked. (We'll be at 20 weeks on Thursday). Tomorrow we have our checkup and have a sonogram or ultrasound, I'm not sure which one we're going to have. This is the checkup where families who want to find out the sex of the baby are able to. Of course we have chosen not to find out Peanut's sex so that means we're going with fun, neutral colors.



Peanut's room - formerly known as the spare bedroom is a disaster area. We have removed the bed and roll top desk that used to live there. Now there are numerous piles of clothes to donate, trash to throw away, documents to go through, papers to shred and boxes to remove. My plan is to start working on that again today, when I get home from Costco and before work.



I'd like to go for a bike ride as my time is quickly passing before I'm no longer allowed on a bike. Apparently my OB/Gyn doesn't know my catlike balance and has suggested that after 20-weeks I shouldn't ride. I'd also like to go to the driving range or play 9-holes of golf - something before school starts this summer. Lots of things I'd 'like to do' and lots of things I'd 'like to get accomplished' - where does the time go???
