First and very special baby sling

Here I am with my new gardening hat and baby sling from a special lady in Thailand! Not the best picture of the sling but it is beautiful. Can't wait to use it maybe in the garden?!

24 Weeks

My latest picture includes the first of many tattoos that Terri gave me for Christmas. I was disapointed when I forgot to put one on my belly for the ultrasound last week. I'll make sure to surprise my midwife at the next visit! I've included a few of my favorite ultrasound photos.

Busy growing a human

Hi all!

Here's pictures from week 23 we skipped week 22 because it was a busy work week and then we spent the weekend in West Yellowstone with Nate's parents. Sonya brought me the most amazing gift from Thailand a baby sling that she bought off of a local woman. It's beautiful and I can't wait to use the sling. I'll post a picture of the sling soon, Sonya did get a picture of the lady who made and used the sling so I am so excited to frame that photo.

We had our first official ultrasound last friday and everything looks great! Fluid levels are good and baby's measurements are right on track. The most amazing part of the ultrasound for me was to see the 4 chambers of the heart and see the valves moving blood throughout baby's body. I have two hearts right now! So fun. Last week sometime I was sitting at the piano and nate was on the coach and looked over at me and said, "you look pregnant". So I guess it's official to him I look pregnant, haha. I am working on making a list of items that friends have said that I can borrow or use for the baby. When that is complete then I hope to start a registry at Target. We have alot of organizing to do in this house but for the time being I am really enjoying my energy and playing out in the snow. So the organizing will just wait. We are contemplating moving into a larger house but that would mean we will have to find the perfect rental, so we'll see if that exist. Must have a tall fenced in yard for suga, spot for garden, 3+ bedrooms so we can have a seperate study/sewing room and ofcourse baby room and our bedroom. We'd love a dishwasher but not a requirement at this time, oh wait bottle washing is not going to be fun huh?

Growing a human continued

HI all, we have reached our half way mark for the pregnancy and I can't believe it's half complete. In the past few weeks I have had a lot of people ask me, "have you felt baby move yet?" and my answer was "I'm not sure yet what I feel, I feel something like gas but can't be sure that it was the baby". Now I'm sure I feel the baby! It is a bit different than gas, incase you were wondering but I have been told that's what it feels like? I like the bubbly description better, I can just picture little Meyer flailing about when I feel it at night when I go to bed, most often. I'm excited that I am starting to look pregnant, doesn't look like I gained the "freshman 15" anymore, haha. Although finding pants that are long enough for prego ladies is just as hard as finding pants that fit anyone with long legs. I will just wear short pants I guess because they fit everywhere else. Before the end of 2009 baby and I went snowshoeing in WY, sledding at the lake (parents house), and then downhill skiing New Years Eve day. So far have felt great doing all those activities and hope to continue to do as much activity as long as I remain comfortable.
Soon we will have our official ultrasound and will post those pictures soon after.
We had a very blessed Christmas with my family in Idaho this year, loved all the time with my nieces and nephew. I am very excited for 2010 (weird) lots of changes this year, Extending our family, and Nate will be going back to school soon for his graduate degree in Missoula. I look forward to all of these changes with a bit of anxiety but mostly excitement to see what is in store for the Meyer family. Happy New Year!
