I am now 20 weeks and 4 days pregnant. We had the anatomy ultrasound on September 1st. I was VERY nervous going into it since I still wasn't feeling baby move yet. As soon as she but the probe on my belly we saw her move her arms so that was reassured me right away. Baby seems to be doing very well though she was a little shy :P At first she would not open her legs to give us a look at the gender so the tech sent me to empty my bladder. Well she did move and open her legs but kept her hand in the way so we still couldn't see! The tech then had me lay on my side for about 10 minutes and finally she eventually gave us the money shot. There is absolutely no doubt that it's a girl! Also found out that the reason I am not feeling her move much yet is that I have an anterior placenta (placenta is in the front) which is cushioning the movements.
It's now nearly 2 weeks later and I *think* I am feeling her move more and more. Definately not enough to feel from the outside but too often for it to be just gas. I am very much looking forward to knowing for sure it's her I am feeling moving!
We made our first big purchase this weekend which felt really weird. We bought our stroller. Hubby is the one who made the decision to get that particular stroller yet as we walked out the store his first comment was "holy crap, this is actually happening!" Now to start looking for carseats, cribs, and all the other fun stuff! It's so surreal to be able to actually buy this stuff and that that "someday hopefully" is finally here!
I am definately super happy we found out the gender, it's what's finally made this feel a little more real. I still have my doubting moments where I get scared but at least I am having more moments were I am just really enjoying going through the pregnancy. I can't believe I am halfway!!! Only 3 and a half more weeks and she'll have reached viability!
