20 Weeks With Baby D #2

I thought I'd compare my 20 week picture with Svea to my 20 weeks picture with her brother!  It's a strange coincidence that I've had a hat on each time!  hmmm...You might not be able to tell, but I can tell how I was carrying her a little lower. It has to be or else those jeans still wouldn't fit! I also had my 20 week appt.this morning bright and early.  Little guy is measuring three days behind (which is perfectly fine) and looked great.  The u/s tech said all of his measurements looked very good.  He was turned into my back and would not turn around so the tech couldn't get the best pictures of all of his organs that he wanted to.  He said to not be surprised if they make me come back another time to get a quick look to get better pictures.  I like to think he was just needing to be snuggled in to Mom and was just a bit sleepy. I did get to see baby's lips today and face briefly.  For being only 6 inches long and 11oz (what was estimated him to be) he sure seems to have big lips!  Ha!  Go figure!  I can't believe you can see that big of details when they are that small.  Everything else went great. His heartbeat was 146 bpm at the u/s and 168 bpm at my appt, which is all very normal.  I go back in another four weeks unless they call for another u/s, which I won't complain too much about!  Svea stayed home with Dee from church.  She's a mom of three kids and loves babies.  She watched Svea another time when she was an infant and couldn't wait to do it again today.  Svea didn't even cry when Daddy left the house, or throw a temper tantrum when they came inside from a walk.  We should have her come over more often!

On another note....I put Svea's Easter basket together today and want to give it to her sooo bad to see her reaction!  My mom gave her a bunch of plastic Easter Eggs this past weekend and she gave the "O" face for about a minute!  So, since I should hold off I'll share her Easter basket with you.  She some new nursery rhyme books, bunny ears, hooded sweatshirt for cool summer days, sidewalk chalk, a little wind up bunny, a new sippy cup, and the stuffed animal is actually mine from when I was a kid, but she'll never know. It's in great shape:) I can't wait!  She's starting to really understand when she is getting something for her as a gift.  I can't wait until she truly understands God's gift for her as well.  It might be awhile, but hopefully she'll learn it's way better than any old Easter basket Mommy and Daddy put together for her.
