Baby Bump Series: Week 23 & 24

 Over the past two weeks I've been gaining quite the appetite. Besides the normal breakfast lunch and dinner, I can't seem to make it more than a an hour or two after a meal before feeling like I haven't even eaten all day. Been doing my best to eat healthy snacks in between meals.

At the beginning of week 23, I had a quick visit at the OB for some lower abdominal discomfort that wasn't going away. Long story short, after some routine tests and an ultrasound, it was determined that every thing is fine. My lower abdominal muscles are just sore from the stretching they have never experienced before. The ultrasound tech was generous and gave us a couple more 4D pictures to take home :-)

Its amazing the change I can see from the week 20 ultrasound. Baby boy Hinman looks like his face is already starting to fill out.

This weekend, we put together the changing table/dresser. I am so excited that the end result is near.

The Nursery: A Work in Progress

Baby Bump Series: Week 21 & 22

Not much longer till we enter the third trimester.

Bending over is still possible, but for a very short period of time only. Baby boy Hinman continues to party, and his movements continue to become stronger and more noticeable. Nick had his head on my belly the other day and got jabbed in the face. :-)

I've noticed some heartburn, but nothing intolerable.

Last week Nick and I were updating one of our registries and nick spied this awesome buy! Of course we got it. So appropriate.

Baby Bump Series: Week 19 & 20

Hard to believe that we're already half way through the pregnancy. It feels like the time has gone by fast. On the other hand, I don't think that the second half will go by fast enough. I don't mean to rush the next few months, but I'm ready for November to be here so we can hold our little boy....the one who insists on having huge dance parties inside my uterus every night :-)

June 27th was our 20 week ultrasound. We were told that everything looks good, and Baby Boy Hinman is at the proper measurements. We counted all fingers and toes, and were even able to look at a 3D version of his face. So amazing, the technology....and of course his face :-)
