I just returned home from a quick weekend getaway in Vegas. Justin is staying for business until Wednesday. It was quite a different experience going to Vegas pregnant. It was actually really nice waking up every morning feeling normal! We arrived Friday night and went out to dinner with my sister, Sarah, who lives in Vegas. We ate at Tao at the Venetian. It was a fun experience. I did a lot of people watching... Vegas nightlife is very entertaining! Saturday we went to the new mall...I can't remember what it is called, but it was really nice. It reminded me of an outdoor mall in LA that Sarah and I went to back in May. Can't remember the name of that mall either! We also went to the Tropicana and saw a comedy show. It was hilarious and we had a great time. To end our Saturday night, we went to Paris and had crepes!!! Oh my goodness they were sooo good! On Sunday, we walked around the strip for awhile being tourists before I had to catch my flight back to Seattle. The weather was around 64, the perfect weather for t-shirt and jeans! It was really nice to feel the sun! I felt huge all weekend. I'm at that stage where I look fat or pregnant and the judgment is in the eyes of the beholder. It was so wonderful seeing my sister. It will probably be the last time until the baby is born. :(
I finally scanned my last ultrasound pictures from December and posted them below! So I thought I was one week ahead, but I had my regular checkup and my doctor said that my due date has not changed. So, June 22nd is the due date and I am back to being one week behind what I thought. It really doesn't matter now. As long as our baby is healthy. Because I'm pushed back a week, our 20 week ultrasound won't happen until the first week in February. We are getting so anxious to find out what we are having! I've been feeling a lot of little movements! It is so amazing! I stop in my tracks every time to see if the baby will move again. I spent my morning reorganizing my closet and making room for all of the maternity clothes that friends have graciously let me borrow! It is really depressing not being able to fit into your clothes anymore and it all happened so fast.
This is my favorite picture! The abdomen and little legs. So adorable!
The strip of three are a bit scary! She kind of looks like an alien. :) When we were still in the u/s room after finding out it was a girl, Justin was super quiet. I thought maybe he was nervous about having a little girl after growing up with all boys and then raising boys. I asked if he was okay and his response was..."I'm a little concerned that she looks like an alien." HA! I giggled at that. Not the most flattering pictures of Izzy! Today marks my 22 week and 4 day! Our baby girl weighs about 1lbs and is about 8 inches long...think about the size of a small doll! I can't believe it. Time is going by so quickly. She can hear our voices this week and her other senses have developed too! Last night I think I felt her hiccup for the first time. It was pretty crazy whatever it was... consecutive thumps! I've been feeling great. Just a little slower and a bit more uncomfortable. My mom is coming over tomorrow to help paint the nursery. I can't wait to have it all done. Hopefully we can set up the crib on Sunday and then I can start adding all the decorative touches!
