Not only was this week our big ultrasound of the baby, but it also marked the half way point of my pregnancy! Our baby boy now weighs over half a pound and is kicking away! I have felt him move and kick for several weeks, but this week the activity has definitely picked up. Although, I still think Sophia moved even more at this point.
At our doctor's appointment, he was measuring almost a week ahead of where my original due date (2-22-11) puts him and my doctor (who we absolutely love) has already said the chances of making it until the end of February are getting slimmer. Since I was only a little over 37 weeks along when Sophia was born, there is a higher probability that I will have this baby earlier as well. The guess right now is that we are looking at closer to the beginning of February to welcome him!
I am sure by then I will be ready. We have a TON of things to do before then. We will soon begin turning Sophia's playroom into a nursery. We have started moving some things over to her room to make the process a gradual one. As much as we want to jump right in on the conversions, I know that slow is better for her. We want her to feel like there is a special reason for all of the changes and we are not just taking over "her space."
Sophia's excited about having a little brother. She is really starting to understand that mommy's tummy is getting bigger and at night she normally gives the baby a "goodnight kiss" before bed. I know it will be a HUGE adjustment, but with time she will be a GREAT big sister. Exciting times for us and her :-)
