HI There,
I had my monthly apt. today and Dr. Sheppard now is measuring my uterus to monitor the baby's growth (as technically I would not have any other ultra-sounds). Basically the uterus is the size in inches as the number of weeks you are pregnant, so today I measured 22 inches from pelvic bone to the top of my uterus. All results from the 20 week ultra-sound were great, no concerns and the baby measures average in all accounts. I think she knew the sex because she was smiling and asked if they told me at the ultra-sound. I heard the heartbeat too, 156 bpm. Here is the first series of me turning into large Marg!

Happy St. Paddy's Day Baby!

Happy St. Paddy's day, the little one survived 7 hours at the Toucan with no drinking. My dad was funny, he and mom came in to visit and as a concerned grandparent he asked if I had been drinking today! Ha Ha

20 week ultra-sound

My belly is huge!

Today I measured in 46 inches at the biggest part of the belly.... 1.5 inches bigger than last week, holy growth factor! The even funnier part is Eric thinks it is as big as I will get.

First Flutters

It's Erin here
I will announce when I post now since Anglea thought Eric got him MSW, also so noone mistakes Eric for feeling the baby kicking inside him, which sometimes I think, he thinks he has!
Anyway...I finally felt the tiny bubbles or flutters people say you feel (quickening), even though I have felt the baby for move for more than 3 weeks now at times when I get up in the night ect. So this time I felt bubbles popping in my belly, weird really. I felt it on the way to Toronto on the train and I called Eric right away! After I realized it was not bad I smiled:) I am 21 weeks now and the baby nearly weighs a pound and has eyebrows (hopefully not as large as mine).

Big Kick last night

Just before falling asleep last night, I had my right hand on Erin's belly and I felt a really big push/kick. That's the biggest movement I've felt so far. The baby is getting stronger and bigger. Awesome!

New Update: Belly Size

Erin's belly now measures 44.5" in circumference at its largest point. That's up 0.5" over last week. Cool.

Eric thinks he's a cartoonist now. Sheesh!
