Hi all!
Sorry for the lack of updates! I will reward you for waiting an entire month for a post by posting my first ever belly picture!! On Friday I woke up and it seemed like all of a sudden my belly had popped out, and stayed that way (before it's looked like this, but only after eating or if I was pushing it out)....now it seems to be here to stay! I'm loving it. This picture is from last week, we haven't taken one this week yet, but when we do I'll put it in the next post.
Baby Thornton seems to be doing well. The heartbeat sounded great at our last appointment a couple days ago. According to the apps on my phone, this week Baby T is 5.5 inches long mastering reflexes such as blinking, sucking swallowing and even yawning! Our baby is now able to hear sounds and his or her sense of hearing is sharpening, guess we should start reading to the baby soon! The baby is now big enough that it is possible to feel his or her movements, though I don't think I have felt anything yet. Some women feel movement around 15-16 weeks, while others are much later such as 20-21 weeks.
Our anatomy scan is scheduled for the first week of October, we are looking forward to getting all of baby's body systems checked out, as well as finding out if our little one is a girl or a boy!!
It has been awesome to go through this experience with Kat. We've hit up quite a few maternity shops and are having tons of fun. I can only imagine the shopping once we both know the sexes out our babies. I've linked their blog on the side of this one so you can follow them too, if you aren't already!! I also added a poll to our blog for you to vote if you think the baby is a girl or a boy. As of right now it's all tied up with half the votes for boy and half for girl!
