18-20 Week Baby Bump Update

 We are SO excited about today because it is our special Anatomy Ultrasound for baby girl, Kinsley! This ultrasound and appointment is extra special because this is the first and probably only one that Joyner will get to attend. Thanks to COVID, they are really limiting visitors to our appointments - but thankfully he is allowed to be at this one! 

It was a chilly morning and Kinsley knew it - she was tucked in a ball sleeping during the whole ultrasound. The tech was able to check most of her organs and anatomy information while she was sleeping, but eventually they needed her to move. We tried to move her around and get her to wake up, but it seems like she is extra stubborn about her sleep, just like her daddy! 

The ultrasound tech actually made me get up and do squats and work out a little in the room to try to get her to move. I even had to do this bridge movement with my hips in order to get her to rotate just a smidge. Thankfully she was able to move a tiny bit and we were able to see everything that we needed to see. 



I was a little nervous about not feeling her move yet - especially after she didn't move much in the ultrasound. But they informed me that my placenta is on the front, which means there is like a little pillow between baby girl and my stomach. That pillow is cushioning the moves a little so that I can't feel her very much yet. The doctor reassured me that I will feel her very soon! :)

It was so comforting to see her sweet little face. Life is so busy right now, so it is sometimes hard to realize that she is there and coming soon! She is SO loved by our little family. Blake keeps asking when she will be here. When we showed him the pictures of her today, he said "She looks like a real baby now, so she will be here soon right?!". He can't wait to meet his little sister! Joyner and I are excited and naturally a little bit nervous- but we already love her so much.
