20 weeks

We had the big 20 week ultrasound yesterday. Everything looks great. Marty and my sister came which was really fun to all be there together. It was so amazing. Baby Robinson was moving around like crazy (probably b/c I drank a root beer made with cane sugar, yum, an hour before). I wanted to make sure we could see lots of movements!

Here are my favorite pics from yesterday. They printed out a BUNCH of them but a few of those profile 3D pics I'm a little scared of. Baby Robinson looks cute in some and full alien in others.

All the measurements looked good, brain, heart activity, bladder, little hands and feet. The baby pointed at us at one point and kept covering his/her little face. Then yoga baby took action and was fully touching his/her toes with hands. So cool! (5th picture down, my favorite)

Marty ALMOST made the technician tell us the sex but we were both good and didn't give in.

Afterwards, Katie gave me a gorgeous white blanket she crocheted for the baby, complete with little hoodie with animal ears. So cute, I love it! She was good at keeping it a secret while making it over these weeks.

Hi everyone, I am not a very good blogger but hey, I didn't want to be on here every day telling you everything that's happening in my life, boring! :)

I went to Europe for two weeks for a study abroad program for school. Got back on August 11th. I was studying in Oxford through my school back here and had a blast. I met up with my British friend Katie (we met in Japan 7 years ago) and we traveled to Brussels and Bruges on the weekend in between my two weeks and met up with her on the last weekend and went to Cambridge and Essex. It was so nice to have friends to stay with and show me around. I definitely ate my way through my trip! The weather was kind of crappy but now that I look back on it, it was really refreshing because back here in VA it's hell for a pregnant woman! I have been limiting being outside in this 90 degree humid weather as much as possible. Actually, I have a bad cold this week that I'm fighting. You would never think you'd have a cold in this hot weather!

Anyways, here is a pic of me in Bruges. Baby bump is getting a little bigger (that was at 17 weeks). I'll have to start taking pictures every week now. We have the big ultrasound next Monday but don't want to know the sex of the baby. I just hope everything goes ok! I haven't felt any movements, at least I don't think I have? Not sure what they really feel like.

Marty and I drove up to Long Island this past weekend for our friend Billy Guerin's Stanley Cup party. He won the Cup with the Penguins this year and had a kick-ass party. (Pics are at 19 weeks).
