I got to see baby two (the Bean) on Tuesday.  S/he looks GREAT!  The placenta is still too low, but we’re hoping it will move up soon.  We’ll go to the perinatologist for a level II ultrasound in mid-February and back to the OB in late February for our next appointment.  This next ultrasound is the BIG one!  It’s the one where we would find out the gender if we were finding out and it’s a really long one so we get to see the baby a lot that day, yay!

On Monday 1/25 I felt the baby kick from the outside for the first time, at only 15.5 weeks pregnant!  I’ve been feeling twitches for over a month and little kicks for two weeks prior, but I was surprised to feel kicks from the outside so early.  I didn’t feel them with Amelia until 17.5 weeks.  On Friday, 1/29 Dustin felt the baby kick for the first time and then last night, Saturday, 1/30 the baby kicked him in the head when he was laying on my belly.  We’re both over the moon and enjoying our little one.

This pregnancy is flying by!  The first trimester was a bit slower than I remember it being last time, but I’m almost a month into my second trimester already, eek!

We ordered Amelia’s big girl furniture yesterday so we have 6-8 weeks to prep the nursery for Amelia’s furniture and get Amelia’s room ready for a big conversion.  Fun stuff!  Now I just need to figure out the decor for both rooms.

Here’s the latest picture of the bean…
