19 weeks

Jason and I are now 19 1/2 weeks...so close to being half way to the finish line! I am feeling very good these days with mild to moderate fatigue. I have felt the fluttering of the baby for 3 weeks now, but recently started feeling more than a flutter. The baby is becoming more real as I feel these sensations of movement. Urinating has definitely increased. I know where everyone's bathrooms are...JC Penneys, Kohl's, Wal-Mart, Kroger's, Target, etc.! Jason and I have been to Target to get ideas on baby items we may be registering for...WOW there is a lot of stuff for babies. We are also reading up on Consumer Reports on these baby items. We are currently reading The Baby Whisperer and The Happiest Baby on the Block. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let us know!! We know this baby will not be coming with a manual, so we are trying to be as prepared as possible. Our next appointment is on June 5th to look at the anatomy. Fingers, toes, heart, brain, bladder, stomach, and yes...genitalia, but this mommy and daddy are not going to watch because we want it to be a surprise!! My alpha fetal protein test was negative from last visit, which means that we are not at increased risk for spina bifida with the baby. We will follow up with the ultrasound video for our next visit.
