24 weeks

24 weeks Pregnant

We had our 24 week OB appointment today. Watson is tracking along exactly as he should be, measuring right at the 50%ile. This means that he is currently ~1 lb, 7 oz and if he keeps this growth velocity up then he will be around 7 lbs at birth. So, keep your fingers crossed that he does not take after his mother and end up being 8 lbs, 14 oz!!!
We didn't get any good shots on the video camara. Our doctor said he is still very, very active so it is hard to get him to settle down and look at us to get a good picture! I already knew he was active b/c I feel him moving nonstop! He has gone from moving around late in the evening to now moving some late in the evening but also early in the morning. I awoke this morning with a kick to my pelvic bone. I was sleeping on my side, so he had settled in on that side of my belly. Jason can definitely feel him move at this point, which is really cool for him.
As you can see by my pics, my belly has popped in the last 4 weeks. Thank God my weight gain is still tracking where it should be as well...I do not want to gain much more than 25 lbs...but maybe that is wishful thinking?
We go back for our 28 week appointment March 26.  They said we should be able to get a great video at this visit because he will actually have some fat on his bones.  I will post that video as long as he cooperates and we get some good shots!

Watson Richard Koch

We had the 20 week ultrasound Thursday. Hard to believe we are 1/2 way through this pregnancy.  I still feel great but am noticing a growing bump every day!  It was confirmed that we are definitely expecting a little boy, so Jason and I were excited to reveal the name that we have chosen and love! The ultrasound technology is amazing. Our doctor was able to go from head to toe looking at all the anatomy making sure Watson has 5 fingers and toes, his heart is healthy, bones are the way they should be and even that his blood is flowing in the right direction! I can now feel him moving around although it's still not consistent. Everytime I feel him, Jason puts his hand on my belly in hopes that he will also be able to feel it but it is too early for that. It'll probably be another 4 weeks before Jason can feel him kicking.
Our crib is in and I found the crib bedding! So, now I can start getting the nursery together even though I can't actually put it all together since Jason is still using it as his office until March. BUT, it will all be ready to go when he does move into his own office space...and it is going to be super cute!
Below is a short video of the 20 wk ultrasound when we got a limited view of his face. Enjoy!

16 week ultrasound- It's a Boy!!!

Jason and I were so excited to find out the sex. We really didn't care what the baby is, as long as he/she is healthy. The news is out, we are expecting a BOY and couldn't be more excited!! It's amazing how much the little one changes from ultrasound to ultrasound. He already has a personality. Every ultrasound thus far (9 week, 12 week and 16 week), he is rubbing his face, eyes or putting his hand behind his head just chillin'! I hope he is laid back like his daddy! Our doctor said this visit that he is very active already! Hope you enjoy the video!!!!

16 weeks pregnant- starting to show!
