Sliding Right Into Week 22...

Good Day Everyone,

Welcome back to the baby Lacny Blog. So here we are, 22 weeks and counting and what a beautiful pregnancy it has been thus far. Beth has been feeling wonderful. The baby is doing great (baby boy). Life is good.

Fetal movements are off the charts. Beth feels our little boy all the time, which is quite reassuring by the way. She even feels him now while standing...something she wasn't able to feel before. I have even felt him kick a few times...and it blows my mind every time. I love it! Every time Beth eats and gives him a little food energy, it is off to the races. We can even hear the whooshing and thumping when he is moving with a stethoscope.

The baby should be right around a pound in weight and 10-11 inches long. In the following weeks he will be putting on his baby fat...if he is anything like his dad, it will concentrate all in his ass :o) He now has nerve endings in his fingers and is developing his sense of touch. Our baby boy is also sprouting many taste buds allowing him to taste when drinking the amniotic fluid.



Beth and I took the time to paint the nursery this weekend. We pulled colors out of the bedding for the walls. The picture above is the final product. All in all, not too bad for a couple of amateurs. We are really happy with the way it turned out. It is definitely a boys room.

Well, that is all I have for now. Thanks again for dropping by.

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!!!!!

Greetings everyone. The results are in...we are having a boy, and Beth and I couldn't be more excited. Even though a girl would have been just as exciting, a little son is where Beth and I have been leaning since the beginning. Ironically, we had the boys name figured out first...the girls name came second. The rest of the ultrasound went great. Our little boy is doing well. Everything looked perfect. He was given a clean bill of health on his anatomy scan. His heart rate is holding steady at 150 bpm. We are right on target with our original due date.

Beth and I are going to try and pick the colors for the nursery this weekend and hopefully start painting before November. The room is cleared out and ready to go. We just need to tape things off and start rolling. We are also going to register for the baby shower soon. This excites me to no end. I get to rock the scan gun (just like when we registered for our wedding shower). What guy doesn't like that?

All in all things are great. Our little one is doing very well (sigh) and the pregnancy is going smoothly. We have exactly what every parent-to-be wants at this point and time. 20 weeks down, ~20 weeks to go! Here we come.

Thanks again for tuning in...have a great day everyone.
