22 Week Ultrasound

I thought I would update quick and post pics from the ultrasound we had today.
Baby Malloy measured at 22 weeks and 6 days, I am technically 22 weeks and 3days. So I believe she said baby was at 51%. Which I am told is right where they want them at this point.
The ultrasound itself took longer than normal, baby was being difficult. Ha, imagine that as Brady put it, "difficult just like he/she's mom." The ultrasound tech said it was the second hardest ultrasound she has had in a LONG time. The hardest one was right before us, poor lady I bet it makes it for a hard day when the babies don't cooperate..lol! The baby was positioned downward and was moving like crazy. Made it really difficult for her to get measurements and a profile pic. She had me moving from my right side to my back, then over to my left side and back again. I think she was hoping it would help the baby move to where she wanted he/she.
As you can tell I keep typing he or she, YUP we did NOT find out the sex. I asked the tech about 2 minutes into the ultrasound if she knew yet what it was and she said, "oh yea." OHH my goodness did I almost ask her to tell us. It was sooo tempting.
Heartbeat this week was 155, up from last month at 150. Both doctor and ultrasound tech said baby was VERY active.
All in all they said baby was measuring normal and all seemed to be healthy. YEA!!
Here are the pics and the some video she got. Said it was hard to get the video too.

20 Weeks

Alright, so it has been a while since I last posted. I knew I was not going to be very good at keeping this updated. Although, here I am updating you on what has happened in the last 7 weeks.

All in all I have been feeling GREAT! I really can not complain, this pregnancy has been going good so far. I am, however not really enjoying HOW much your body changes and HOW much your emotions change.

As for appointments with the doctor, we heard the baby's heart beat again on Sept 18th. Words just can't describe how AMAZING that sound is. This last time while we were listening the doctor said, "wow, can you hear that, your baby is moving around like a lot!" YEA..I could HEAR it but NOPE I could NOT feel it. I told the doctor that I still had not felt anything and he assured me not to worry because it all depends on how your uterus is placed and how the baby is postioned. That made me feel better because I was starting to think I was a bad mom and could not feel my baby.
BUT...I do have a little excitment that has happened the last two mornings..I THINK I have felt some little sort of movements. Yesterday morning and this morning while laying in bed I have felt these like faint feeling of something, it's hard to explain. I guess we will see if I feel more definte movements soon.

October 16th is our ultrasound. We could not be MORE EXCITED!!! Although, sorry to report but we are NOT finding out the sex. We have decided to wait until the BIG DAY! We are, however VERY excited to see the baby!!

In other news we started working on the baby's room. And, what a mess our upstairs is now. Just when we got everything the way we wanted it, here we are again moving everything around for little baby Malloy. We got the a crib set from my mom, it was my brother's and mine. It came with two dressers and a crib. Very nice set in great conditions. So, last weekend Brady and his dad put it together and so far it is the crib and two dressers in the baby's room. Yup..that is as far as we have gotten. Hopefully soon things will start coming more and more together and I will have to get a picture of the room on here.

Well...I think I have gone on enough. Here are belly pics at 20 weeks. I was not overly thrilled about putting this on here but here they are.
