Dr. Apt., 21 weeks and 3 days

I had another ultrasound today, they wanted to see the heart again. Everything looks good. That is the last time I will see the maternal/fetal specialists. No more $50 co-pays! :)

Baby stats:

1. HB: 155
2. Weight: 1lb, 1oz (normal)
3. Very active as usual, the tech commented that she had rarely seen a baby this active; well he is his father's son. ;)
4. Cute as a button! I will post the pics soon.

Next Dr. Apt is with a new practice who will deliver me at the hospital we want. That apt. will be at 24 wks on April 20th.

Carson's Room Begins....

We started on Carson's room Sunday night. We got the walls painted but need to paint the trim white, it is currently a cream on top of red or pink, does not look good!

BEFORE ..white walls:

AFTER: We took the valance to home depot and picked the lightest blue that matched the bedding

NURSERY TO DO LIST:

• Find a bed and changing table for Carson (my sister may be passing hers down, if not Cory's mom has a barely used crib so we could just get a changing table to match)
• Cory plans to build the shelving and a toy box
• Get some wall hangings and decor
• And of Course STOCK his room with the essentials!

QUESTION for the moms out there: A friend that gave me 12 AVENT bottles, I threw away the nipples, but how do I know that the bottles are safe? What is the deal w/ the plastic particles, etc...

My Luck....

Now that I have figured out the best time to take my Zantac so I won't experience bad heartburn, a couple of new symptoms have appeared:

1. Leg cramps at night - miserable....I ate a banana the other night before bed and that helped, and also drinking more water. But I am so afraid to move my legs too much during the night now.

2. Ligament pains - Now I have had some minor shooting pains every now and then, but I noticed something to the left of the uterus that was bothering me. Everytime I strain to lift my legs or get out of bed, etc...it feels like I have pulled a muscle, but the Dr. said its normal round ligament pains.

I wonder what is next.....

Wow

I accidentally posted a baby update on my other blog, I have a lot going through my head and wasn't paying attention! For baby udpate, go to http://andtheycallitpuppylove.blogspot.com/

We have a name!

We finally decided on a name for our baby boy:

CARSON ANTHONY PHILLIPS

Carson is a name we both like and Anthony is Cory's middle name. Carson will also have the same initials as his Daddy :)

Weekend of Shopping and Registering

My mom and sister came this past weekend to go shopping and registering with us. We registered at Target and Babies R Us, and found our bedding at Babies R Us as well. Here are a few pics:

Pictures I promised

This is me at 18 weeks and 3 days.

Here is the "money shot" you can see the wee wee between his legs.

And here is his profile shot, took us forever to get this one b/c he moved around so much.
