16 week update!

So sorry it has been a couple of weeks since I posted, things have been busy busy! I will start with last Friday's sonogram. Last Friday Phil, Myself, my Parents and Chuck and Tami went to see what Mr. Forrest (yes, still a boy!) was up to! We were so happy that our parents could join us and see our sweet baby boy in action! He was quite active (probably because of the 1/2 of a coke a had about 30 mins. before hehe) he was grabbing his feet and legs, sucking his thumb, stretching his legs out and crossing them...looking quite comfy!! It is amazing at how much he has changed within a week...just looking at his profile picture is amazing seeing his nose, chin and mouth, tummy, spine, ribs, legs, arms etc. it is just breathtaking! He looks like a little baby now and we can't wait to hold him and give him a ton of kisses in April! I already wanna kiss his cute cheeks! (see sonogram pics below)

We also had our 16 week check-up on Tuesday and everything is going great!The NT test came back normal and his heartrate was 160 BPM! I have gained between 5-6 pounds since finding out I was pregnant so I am on the right track. I am still feeling great despite the minor stomach virus episode that lasted 2 days...again as I say every time, I am so grateful for having such an easy pregnancy! Our next appointment will be November 18th which will be our 20 week check-up along with Forrest's anatomy scan (sonogram) to check all of his insides! I can't wait to see what he is up to again in 4 weeks! :)

A few weekends ago I also registered at Nursery Couture!Love that store! :) (yes I am registering early, but that's just me! ;) I registered for several items for Forrest while I was there which include his bedding (see pic below, i'm obsessed) hooded towels, shopping cart cover, blankets, bibs, burp rags etc. While we were there we also ordered wooden hand painted letters to match his bedding to hang over his crib! Can't wait to start decorating! YAY!!! We are also registered at Babies R Us and will be registering soon at Pottery Barn Kids.

Also a few weekends ago Phil AKA Daddy put together Forrest's cradle that will be going in our room! He did a wonderful job, the cradle is beautiful and we can't wait to watch our sweet little one sleep in it!

Now for the sonograms, cradle and bedding pics!

Here is a profile picture of Forrest! On the left you can see his head, brain, nose, mouth and chin! Forrest is looking like his daddy! On the right his legs are bent and he is actually grabbing his knees and pulling them to his chest (you can't see his hands in this pic though)and those two dark spots in the middle of his chest and tummy are his heart and bladder!

 This is another profile picture but this time his legs are not bent and the white thing near his mouth is actually his hand! (he was sucking his thumb a lot!)

 This is a picture of Forrest looking straight at you! (his head is on the left and body on the right) A little freaky at first but still a beautiful sight!

 and finally here is yet another pic. to prove he is still a boy! The arrow is pointing to his boy parts.

Forrest's crib bedding!
