A Bigger Belly!

20 week belly picture

We are approaching week 22! We're so excited to be past the half way point! We don't have too much news at this point. Marissa is feeling the baby move a lot more now. David was even able to feel the baby move for the first time the other day! We are looking at baby gear and picking out items for the registry. Marissa has become a huge fan of kid's consignment sales that have been put on by different groups in the area. She's scored a bunch of "new" baby stuff and spent very little! There's nothing like a good deal!

We are looking forward to a much needed vacation in Florida this week! We can't wait to spend time with some of our favorite people and introduce our skin to the sun again! Let's just hope no one gets burnt this year.

18 week Update -- Almost 1/2 way there!

We are at 18 weeks and everything is going well! I'm starting to feel the baby move which is...different. :) Today we went in for the "big" ultrasound and it was amazing! The baby is 7oz. and the heart rate was at 143 bpm. We were able to see all of the baby's parts--except the parts that tell the gender (we're saving that for August. We were able to see the 4 chambers of the heart, kidneys, spine, arms, legs, etc. I could have stayed on that table all day watching our baby on the screen.

Here are a few pictures (including the 16 week belly picture):
