Today is our 19 week mark with the McNugget.
On Friday we went to get our ultrasound - making sure everything is healthy and happy and developing right. Gladly, everything looks good. McNugget was extremely active during his/her photo session - doing barrel rolls, reaching up and waving, laying on his/her back and doing the "bicycle" - even giving us the "L" for loser sign on his/her head. Unfortunately all that activity stopped when we went to find out the sex and McNugget became camera shy and wrapped his/herself into a ball. The ultrasound tech tried for 10 minutes to find out for us - moving me on my left and right - but we just couldn't tell for sure. The tech was leaning towards girl - but "I just am not sure enough to tell you to go out and buy pink". It was disappointing, but I guess its not the first time I'll be frustrated with the McNugget.
Next on our checklist was to start interviewing day cares. We looked at 3 different places - none of which screamed "pick me!" but two of which were okay. I'm hoping that we find something (either a daycare or a neighbor) in the next couple of weeks to cross that (very stressful) item off our list.
On Saturday we went and started to register at Babies 'R Us. We found lots of stuff we liked, but I wasn't in love with the elevated prices. We did kick off our registry there, but I'm going to try and move a few of my things to other registries (Amazon, Target, etc.) to give ourselves and our families a price break. As a bonus, it did start to make us feel like parents making important safety and style decisions about car seats and test driving strollers.
Otherwise I'm feeling good. Still not sleeping 100% at night and I get headaches every now and then. I've started to walk more as the roads are getting less treacherous, but I get winded pretty darn quickly. I also have been very sensitive to certain smells - its so strange how much my body changes with this new addition! I think I've started to feel the "fluttering" everyone talks about with McNugget. Mostly its been "prods and pokes" but its getting more constant as a flutter immediately after I eat / drink something. That is something I'm tremendously excited for.
I'll post our ultrasound photos as soon as they and my computer are in the same place at the same time.
