September 12 we did out 20 week ultra-sound and I sure loved seeing babe again! I was hoping D would have changed his mind about finding out the sex of the baby but he said no and I told him I would respect that... even though I tried figuring it out the whole time on the u/s monitor.
The u/s tech went through and told us everything he was looking at so it was so nice to hear that all was well when he was going through it. He showed us the heart and the 4 valves, told us he looked for a Cleffed (sp) lip, all sorts of stuff I didn't know they could see in such detail already but all was good! Baby cooperated much better than the 12 week u/s (he/she squirmed the whole time), I asked if the u/s tech knew what we were having and sure enough he did (dang I didn't see the goods).
We purchased the CD of all the screen shots and printed off some pictures, one is on the fridge already :)
GROW BABY GROW!!

Another Jean quilt...
Last Sunday we went to the farm for lunch and took grandma out there with us. She brought her serger sewing machine out and was going to show me how to use it so I brought my jean pieces that I cut while I was doing IVF in Calgary bored out of my mind.
Well you should see Grandma giver on that thing!! She just had me keep on handing her peices of fabric and away she went. Two hours later the quilt was put together and looked great!! Thanks Grandma R!
I haven't decided if I want to put backing in this one or not. I made one last winter and I put a thin filler and then a flannel backing... WOW is that thing heavy and warm. So I think I might just use this one as a beach blanket and it will shake off really well. Hmmmmm... decisions.

Playing Catch up...
As of today I am 20 weeks!! WOOHOO half way there!
I started feeling baby around 16-17 weeks and the hubby actually felt it at 18 weeks (this baby sure is a kicker). I only realized at the Doctors office while he was checking the heart beat with the doppler that was what the baby felt like when it moved. He had the heart beat and then baby swam away and you could here that on the doppler, then he found the heart beat again and baby swam away and the whole time I felt this fluttering that I just thought were air bubbles what was the baby the whole time (so no wonder 2nd, 3rd time moms feel there babies kick sooner because they know what to look for!! DUH! lol Then one saturday morning while we were babysitting D's nephews this baby was kicking REALLY hard for how little the little dude or dudette is so I told him to just put his hand on my stomach and sure enough....he felt it twice. I think that made him feel better about how he knows baby is doing good.
On Monday (Sept. 12th) we have our 20 week ultra sound so I am looking forward to seeing what this babe is starting to look like now. I told him and he has known all along that I have wanted to find out what we are having but he was always super against it and then I think I sort of had him thinking 'maybe we would find out' but someone at his work talked him out of it and he definately does NOT want to find out because "it will be the only really surprise in our lifetime", but I thought it would be a surprise at the ultra sound..."Surprise you are having a ...blank". Oh well I said he could decide and that he did. I still think it's a girl as the heart rate has been higher at every appointment although it seems the babe has been moving everytime at the doc or even the 12 week u/s so that isn't the resting heart rate that you can base that on... A SURPRISE IT WILL BE!!
Last week D took me to Edmonton to go shopping last minute because we had no other plans because it rained out and so his family wasn't combining and didn't need his help. We went for supper with some friends, to the Casino for a bit and to bed. Got up much too early the next morning because the mall didn't even open until 10am on a Saturday...booo. Anyhoo we sat around then got at'er... I needed to get some new bras, I checked out some baby clothing but refrained because I already have a closet full of "baby gifts". I was/am also trying to refrain from buying too much 'just incase something happens' but if something is going to happen it can happen at any given time so I don't really want to hold back but the 20 week ultra sound is my date I had in mind. But "My stroller" was on sale... so guess what!? I bought it... no restraint there but it's all good because it was on sale! (laughing at myself!) So I set it up last night and borrowed two neices down the street and man does it roller nice! It's a Baby Jo.gger Cit.y Sel.ect. LOVE!
Last night I went to get into the shower and dropped my bra on the floor and D looks at it and it like "Is your boob leaking already!?", I jumped back and said "Nah maybe it's just sweat!" but I said I would wear another bra today and see if I noticed anything. Sure enough my left boob is leaking already! I had to call my sister and ask if it was a little early for this, she thinks I am going to be a good milker but I guess time will tell. Gotta go and get some breast pads now :( .
Sorry this post was all over but I just wanted to update a few things so preggo brain doesn't get in the way of any of this! :)
Chow for now!
