I am not the kind of person to take the time to fill out a pregnant book or even keep a baby book. (Sad I know) I use a great app for Harper's baby book instead called Moment Garden and you can upload photos, videos and stories right to it!
Yesterday we had an ultrasound for my 20 week check up. The baby is still a girl (haha since we did the gender check at 14 weeks I wasn't sure if maybe they had gotten it wrong) and everything looks good.
I finally am showing more now and Kyle felt the baby move for the first time last night. I officially don't fit in my size 28 pants anymore (boo hoo) and am anxious for summer to be here so I can start wearing dresses and skirts and lose shorts) I have gained 7 lbs so far which is good because at my last apt 2 weeks ago I had only gained 3lbs and they said I need to gain more. My mom said she was the same way with both her pregnancies and it's how I was with Harper too- but she came out just fine. I eat normal, several meals throughout the day. No cravings, just enjoying fruit and salads extra lately! Also Mexican food, which is pretty normal for me too.
I am getting more excited about having another girl because I know her and Harper will be so close and have so much fun together being only 2 years apart. I seriously feel like this baby is going to be Harper's little twin. Even in the ultrasound yesterday we got some pics that are almost identical to ones we have of Harper at 18 weeks. A thumbs up, the one of the spine perfectly curved and some other that I swear look like Harper! I am so curious if this baby will be similar in size to Harper too. (The dr had estimated that she would be 6.5 lbs when she was born and she came out 8lbs 7oz 😳) I was definitely surprised! The nurse said te baby was in a weird position yesterday too and Harper was the same way at that time!
Harper got Kyle's blue eyes, my hair color as a kid and dimples that no one knows who they are from. Her skin tone is pretty pale more like mine, whereas Kyle's is much darker. I am so curious if Harper and baby will look alike or not! (Harper had jet black hair for her first few months) I think they will look similar but Kyle thinks the baby will get the darker features; his tan skin, my hazel eyes and a little darker brown hair...guess we just have to wait and see!
I still can't believe we will have two kids soon! Harper loves to kiss my belly, talk to baby and as soon as the nurse printed the pictures after the ultrasound yesterday Harper started kissing them. It was so sweet!
I am so thankful for this amazing family I have been blessed with! Thanks for reading....until next time....
Xoxo
