21 Week Update

Hello everyone! We went for another regular checkup today and I had another ultrasound. My mom went with us and got to watch during the ultrasound. She did not have an ultrasound with me or my sister and technology has come a long way since she was pregnant with my brother, so I thought she would enjoy getting to see her grandson. You could definitely tell that Tristan had grown. He was all curled up in a ball! The doctor said that his size was perfect for his gestational age and that all organ systems looked good. She said that even though he looks squished in there, my amniotic fluid level and size of my uterus were just as they should be. His heart rate was 141, which is perfect. And he wasn't shy about letting us know that he is in fact a boy! He was pretty still throughout the whole thing which was surprising to me because he has become quite the little wiggle worm. I hadn't really gained any more weight since my last appointment, which is something that had been worrying me, but the doctor said that as long as he is growing like he should be to just consider myself lucky. When I go back in four weeks, I have to take my glucose tolerance test. It involves drinking some really nasty stuff so I'm not exactly looking forward to it, but I guess its all part of the process.

Definitely a Boy!!!

As far as working on the nursery goes......we haven't really gotten a whole lot done. We did get the furniture that was in the guest room moved out (thank you to those who helped!!!) and we bought the paint. But that's about it so far. I still need to get the closet cleaned out and Justin will hopefully start painting soon. We still have a little bit of time to work on everything.

We love you all!!!
