Baby B's first photoshoot

Anatomy ultrasound day FINALLY arrived. I was nervous but excited. Worried that I wouldn't be able to stay strong about  not finding out the sex BUT we did it! We got through and we will not know until April if B is a boy or a girl.
The ultrasound seemed to take forever before Brent could come in and before I could lay my greedy eyes on that screen. Definitely worth the wait. Our baby is gorgeous (ya, I'm biased, whatever).

The techs don't tell you much... but all the important pieces were present and B was a busy little monkey in there!!
I still find it incredibly hard to wrap my head around the fact that the images on screen were actually taking place in my stomach.
Despite my screaming bladder, this was one of the most moving moments of my life.
Off to go re watch the videos of B (I can't get enough!).
Here's some more pics of our little bundle:

Glowing

"They" talk about a pregnancy glow and for the first time I think I actually understand what it feels like to be glowing.
I am happy today. I couldn't be more content (well aside from winning the lottery - which is still possible).
I know I've been blessed in my pregnancy thus far. Nausea here and there but no actual puking *knocks on wood*. Fatigue but nothing I couldn't nap away.
Today I feel great. Up early, getting lots of stuff done... and all the while glowing.
Today is the first day in a while where I don't feel utterly fat but instead my belly is high (as per normal) and front and centre. I feel and look pregnant. This makes me happy.
Brent is dutifully working on baby B's nursery, the sun in shining.... and besides that little mouse that we have yet to catch (evasive little bugger he is) life is good.
Perhaps it's the hormones, the coffee I had this morning (I know, shame on me, but it was a little one) or maybe the fact that there's a little baby in here is FINALLY kicking in. I'm happy and I'm soooo thankful.
Sure, there's lots of stuff to worry and be anxious about (i.e. anatomy u/s coming Tues!!) but today I feel positive, excited and grateful.
On that note I'm going to go clean the house and get ready for x-mas (yes, it's early, but I like to enjoy the decorations as long as I can!)... AND I'm not even dreading cleaning (making me somewhat inclined to think this is a surge of hormones haha).

I've got a feeling!

Lots of feelings... baby B is on the move and now I can feel it!! It's only been the last week or so but the movements are getting more and more noticeable. I have even felt little taps with my hand on my belly. So exciting! It is by far the strangest sensation but the most exciting at the same time. When the little one is on the move I could just sit there for an hour just enjoying it. My comfort in the movements may change as baby B gets bigger and starts kicking organs and such! haha
I am also confident that my stomach gets bigger by the day. I'm hoping that most of this is attributed to a growing baby ;)
Taking B to the dentist with me (which thankfully means no x-rays!).
Off I grow...
