Halfway There!

In Detroit visiting at 20 weeks

So I'm a couple weeks behind but we've hit our halfway mark! Yay! I'm currently 22 weeks and feeling good. I was having some back pain but a support belt has helped quite a bit. I went to the doctor at 20 weeks and they said everything was looking good except...I have partial placenta previa. What that means is my placenta is partially covering my cervix and if it doesn't correct itself I will have to have a c-section (BOO!) but I'm confident it will move. I have another appointment in a couple weeks and I will have to schedule another ultrasound which means we get to see our baby girl again and make sure she's still a she! Lol! (I also finally put on some weight...6lbs.)

I also have been blessed with a lot of gifts from friends with babies of their own. I've received clothing, bassinet, a tub, a swing and so much more. Very blessed and excited for this munchkin to arrive. Daddy has started the moving process of the office so that our baby girl could have her own place :) So that's exciting although we don't have any furniture to put in it yet!

In other news Miss Olivia has been kicking up a storm and I can feel each one! Lol! Daddy can't feel them just yet but that doesn't stop him from talking to his baby girl and poking at her every chance he gets!

It's a GIRL!

So I'm late but I've been super busy working so i had no time to post about our ultrasound! Dimitris, my friend Ilena and I went to the ultrasound to see how peanut was growing and to see if it was a baby boy or girl. There was a poll on facebook, which to my surprise, had a lot of guesses for boy. I had to seriously pee because I was told to drink 32 oz of a liquid before hand! The ultrasound tech was nice enough to let me empty my bladder shortly after we arrived.
I have to say it was pretty cool to see our little one moving around as we got to check out her spine, legs, feet, arms, heart and face. I think she was sleeping and was a bit upset we were poking at her but it was so worth it. The tech said she couldn't get the best look but was sure it was a girl, I'm confident seeing how the only thing I saw poking out was the umbilical cord! But we would be happy either way.
All of our family and friends were excited to hear the news. We already had a name picked either way so we got to introduce Miss Olivia Renay Moore to everyone shortly after we left the doctor's office.
I have another appointment on Wednesday which will be my 1/2 way mark (YAY!) I can't believe how fast it's going but I'm so excited to meet our little girl!
