Big Day: 21 weeks ultrasound

We are so excited, today was a BIG day in the Rodick household. We had our 21 weeks appointment, and everything is just going so great :)

I managed to record the heart rate, as I promised, and also the doctor took lots and lots of pictures of baby Rodick. The little peanut weighs 15 oz, and was just moving so much, so playful, moving hands, fingers close to the face and we could see two perfect little feet, so precious :)

I have gained 8 lbs since my last doctor appointment, and I am right on the mark for everything else. I have started wearing the Bella Band, bellyband for my pants, as they are snug these days and almost to the point of being uncomfortable.

I am having crazy, vivid dreams, but I guess that it is part of the journey as well. I am just happy to be able to sleep through the night.

Little peanut moved so much today during the appointment, and I can feel the baby's movement every once in a while. I don't know if I will feel much more, because the dr. said I have a placenta placed in the front of the uterus, which is like having a pillow that the baby can kick into and I won't feel as much :)

Enjoy the pictures and videos,
much love from the Rodicks ( all four of us :))
