Last night was our 21 wk ultrasound and we are so blessed to say that everything looks just perfect! We'll meet with the doctor next week to go over the results but from what the tech said, she sees no problems at all. It's truly amazing what they can detect from these ultrasounds. At my 20 wk ultrasound with Grant they detected that he had enlarged kidney's. During the rest of my pregnancy they gave me many more ultrasounds, monitoring him closely. It was scary and there was a possibility of a surgery after he was born. Thankfully nothing has had to done and his body is just growing into his kidney's. Also, I think I watch too much Discovery Health channel and see too many sweet babies who are born with problems.
The baby has been kicking a lot these days~ I love that feeling. I've been telling Grant that mommie has a baby in her tummy. I'm sure he doesn't understand, although he's become quite the mamma's boy these days. He wakes up in the morning saying, "mamma, mamma." Poor Mike is getting his feelings hurt a little. I wonder is he senses something is different. He also will NOT sit beside me. He has to be sitting in my lap or he will start crying. I know it's only going to get more uncomfortable with my growing belly! I think this new baby is really going to be a tough adjustment for him. It's hard to imagine what life is really going to be like. I guess I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best. Only 4 months and we'll soon find out! I know it will be here so soon. There's still so much to do around here! My biggest concern is when I should move Grant out of his crib and in to the other room. I want to do it before the baby comes but I just hope that he'll be ready for it. I'll gladly take any suggestions from you mom's with experience!

So sweet. I am sure that is such an amazing feeling when the baby starts moving around in there. Glad to hear things are going well with your pregnancy.
how old is grant going to be when the baby gets here??? the toddler bed was one of my goals to have accomplished with annie before daniel arrived. she was 2 1/2 when he was born. i would talk it up a lot before i tried it. also maybe some fun bedding. he will probably do a lot better than you think! i would start pretty soon though so he won't regress too much. also, if it is too difficult right now, i wouldn't stress about it. he seems a good bit younger than annie was. plus boys are a little slower to mature. it may be more hassle than it's worth to rush it. we had daniel in a bassinet in our room for 5 months. i don't know your thoughts on that but it would extend your time! sorry this is so long!
Karie,
Thanks for the advice! Grant will be turning 2 within days of the new baby arriving. I think we'll give the new room and bed a try before the baby comes but if he's not ready we won't push it. I know that every child is different and it's hard to say how he'll do until we give it a try. Like you said... maybe I'll be surprised and the transition won't be too hard for him. I do plan on doing some decorating so hopefully that will make it more fun for him.
Also, thanks for the update on Kelly. I didn't even know they were going to name him Max... how cute!
Great news!
