We're at 24wk+3d now and I can't believe how quickly the time has gone! Thankfully my energy is back and I'm only dealing with some ligament and tailbone pain now.
Our 20 week anatomy scan was so exciting, we were nervous and jittery all morning beforehand (I worked a half day that morning). Once we got back in the room the tech of course asked if we wanted to know the gender and almost before she had finished her question we were both nodding and saying "yes!"
She immediately started looking for gender (I guess get the fun part done first so you aren't antsy during the measurements) and the baby was in a perfect position to see the bottom, upside down with her head as low in my abdomen as it can get before labor. Immediately I could see that she was a little girl! And she's so active, oh my gosh this little girl has been a twitchy wiggle worm since our 16 week appointment at least when our OB kept having to move the Doppler to get a good heartbeat reading. I can feel her moving now and it's starting to get real...
Our baby shower is November 6th being thrown by my boss (who is amazing, I love her) for work friends, we decided not to do a family and friends shower with COVID and family drama so I sent out our babylist and some family members have already shipped some things to our apartment. We have a boxed crib and travel system in our room waiting to be built. I also went to a baby event and got a ton of stuff for literally cents. Newborn pack of 3 onesies for 0.50$ ladies. I had a good day that day with my Mom (was her bday as well).
Aside from that we've just been saving what money we can and getting our lives ready (as much as possible) for a new baby to enter it. Nesting hit hard and I've been cleaning and organizing our apartment, thinking about nursery layouts, and getting rid of so much crap we never use and don't need. YouTube has also been helpful in building my registry, and getting ready to pack a hospital bag. November 1st we'll start our 6 week "birth" class, really it's a "3rd trimester, l&d, and newborn" class lol!
I hope everyone is doing well!
