Diaper Bag

Megan's custom diaper bag and changing pad. I thought it would be cool to put vinyl on the pad so I could clean it. Of course, Ethan says, "That will feel nice and sticky when you lay her down on it." Oh well, it looks good!


Custom interior to fit my wallet, cell phone, attach my keys, and maybe a few things for Megan.

23 week visit

Have I mentioned that I love my doctor? I love that she is experienced, hi-risk--whatever you want to call it--but the office seems as small and comfortable as my old doctor. At least when you are the first appointment of the day. Because I can schedule them so early, I am in and out of the parking garage in less than an hour. Which normally would cost like a $1, but in the Med Center even record timing of 1 hour is $4. But totally worth it.

Today was 23 weeks and 2 days. We are making good progress. Megan's heartbeat was 150 - perfect she says, and I am measuring right at 23 weeks, again perfect. I told her that I could start making up stuff so that she can start her day with someone intersting, but she said, "...we need some dull ones around here." I am scheduled for the glucose test at 26 weeks, then began visits and ultrasounds every 2 weeks starting at 28 weeks.

The most exciting event of the day was that Alyssa saw her baby sister move. We watched my belly for a few minutes and saw 2 distinct kicks. Alyssa was very confused, but agreed that it was her sister moving inside mommy.

Megan's room will be underway soon. The walls will remain the ocean-blue we painted for Noah, but the crib bedding will be completely changed. The fabric is picked and as soon as I can buy it, I will probably start sewing. Right now I am finishing up her diaper bag. I could not find one that I liked, so I decided to make my own. I will post some picts of this cute stuff when they are ready. Girls are fun!

The stomp is back

Megan has become a lot more active in the last week. I felt her first kick at 15 weeks and it has been a long 6 weeks to get to this point. There is nothing like feeling that first movement, and there is nothing like wondering why you haven't felt it again. I would go days without feeling anything, then think "maybe that was it?" But no doubt I can feel Megan everyday, and that is very reassuring. Daddy and Nana have felt her, but so far not Alyssa. Yesterday was the first day I could lay still and expect Megan to continually move. So I wanted Alyssa to come feel, but she was not intersted at that moment. Luckily in the months to come we will have alot of oportunities to feel baby sister.
