22 Weeks

As you can see, Baby M is continuing to grow at a fast pace!  I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday so we were able to take find out the results of our anatomy ultrasound as well as take a few measurements.  Everything looked good from the ultrasound but they weren't able to see his nasal bones or palate so we will be going back this week for another ultrasound.  I'm looking forward to seeing him again!  I was measuring just a little bit small but my doctor wasn't concerned about it since the baby is measuring right on schedule.

Fun presents from Aunt Jessie

This week we picked up a dresser for the nursery and I started doing a Pinterest project to refinish it.  I think it should be finished by tomorrow so there will be pictures next week.  I can't wait to put the nursery together!  I need to start a bunch of sewing projects this week so hopefully by next weeks post I will have a bunch of cute things to show off for Baby M :)
We also discovered that Baby M really likes Worship music at church this week.  He was kicking me like crazy the whole time the Worship music was going and as soon as they stopped, he stopped.  I think he can probably feel the vibrations but I'm glad he enjoys it since that is my favorite part of church!

It has been a gorgeous week here in Southern California and we decided to enjoy it by going to the beach today.  I have decided that until I get huge I'm just going to rock the baby bump in my bikinis (but no pictures will document this) because I hate maternity swimsuits.  At this point they are all WAY too big for me and I just look like a beached whale.  Today while we were laying on the beach I noticed that I could totally see all of Baby M's movements when he kicked my stomach!  It was fun for both J and I to watch him moving.  We have felt the kicks for a few weeks now but we have never stared at my bare stomach while it was happening so that was pretty cool.
