Well, I guess it's about time to update everyone on our progress! Things are moving along rather quickly now. I feel like my belly is larger everyday! (By the way, pictures to come soon...they are on the camera and I just need to load them up). We went to the doctor on Monday and she said that everything looked good. I have gained a total of 13 lbs so far, which she said was good....it still freaks me out to see the number getting so high on the scale though! :)
The baby is moving around all the time now. He is very active in the late afternoon and when I go to bed. Since he likes to move so much a bedtime (and since he getting so big) sleeping has become somewhat of a challenge, but I guess that doesn't really go away for a while now!
Jon has started work on the nursery/house in preparation for the baby's arrival. He has pulled up carpet, is about to put down toe board (or something like that) and start painting. It has all started to seem very real recently and we realize we have quite a bit to do before July 15th!
Pictures to come soon....promise!

20 Weeks, 1 day
This has been an exciting weekend at the Lowery household. We went out Friday night and got our registry started for the baby at Babies R Us. We are planning to add a few things from Target as well.
The biggest news of the weekend is that Jon felt the baby move for the first time! It was actually only the 2nd time I had felt if from the outside. Jon came over quickly and patiently waited and sure enough, he punched his dad in the head a couple of times! :)
If you want to check out our registry feel free to visit www.babiesrus.com (We were totally overwhelmed by all of the choices!)

20 weeks, 2 days
We just got back from the doctor and found out that....
This is his profile:
IT'S A BOY!!!
We are very excited to begin planning even more now! The doctor said he is right at 1 lb. which is perfect. Everything else looked good and she was very encouraging. Here are some of the ultrasound pictures below. They aren't nearly as clear on here as they were on the screen but it's better than nothing! Enjoy!!
This is his profile:
His face, you can see the skeleton features b/c skin doesnt show up:
His leg, pretty clear!
His spine (at the bottom of the picture)
It's a boy!!

19 weeks, 3 days
Not too much to report since the last post. Everything seems to be going very well. The baby is kicking me ALL the time now!
We just hired a doula today. For those of you who don't know, a birth doula helps during labor. Our current plan is to try to go as naturally as possible and having her should help quite a bit! Her name is Shirley and we met her through a friend at church. She is a Christian, which makes a big difference. We are both excited about having her help us with the preparation for the baby as well as the labor and delivery.
That's all until next week....when find out if its a girl or boy! :)

18 weeks, 5 days
Finally, the long awaited "belly shots!" I have to apologize for the quality of the picture. We need to get a good camera soon! The fist shot is at around 13 weeks. I didn't realize until I loaded it up how hard it was to see my belly with the white background! The second shot was taken just last night..so its closer to 19 weeks. I have to admit that I feel like I have gotten huge almost overnight!
Everything still seems to be going about the same. I have been feeling the baby move a little more now and the anticipation of our appointment on the 27th is killing us! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Baby movement?!?
I am pretty sure that I have felt the baby move now! It's only been a few times, usually right after I eat and only for a few seconds (just long enough for me to notice it and then its gone). I am looking foward to being able to feel the baby move more often! Jon is dying since we read that you can't really feel the baby kick from the outside until around 28 weeks...that seems like FOREVER to us!
Jon is still confident this baby is a boy while I am leaning towards it being a girl...I guess all arguments will be settled later this month! :)
Oh! One more thing....I just set up this baby game. You can go on and guess what you think the baby will be, how big he or she will be and when he or she will come! Thought it would be fun to see who was close! Just go to this website:

Hope you all have a great day!
