Almost 22 weeks!

Well, I will officially be 22 weeks on Friday! I truly have nothing to report. I feel great, baby is moving a lot, and everything is going well.
We did get the crib together and put in his room and are trying to clear out the room to get it all ready. We have some time, so we are gradually getting to what we can without overdoing it in one day!
Carson's not sure about the whole thing. We asked him to come in and see his brothers room last night and he screamed "NO"! He didn't want us to even open up the door. He will tell you he's going to be a big brother, but he doesn't want to see anything about him right now. I'm sure he will get over it!
That's about all we have to report right now! Things are great!

Active baby!

Baby Hughes is finally moving and kicking for me. I was getting nervous as I was not feeling much movement at all up until now. Doctor said they worry about it by 22 weeks, and I'm going to be 21 weeks tomorrow!
The baby has been kicking mainly at night. Sure hope that changes before he comes! He seems to be up all night kicking me while I'm sleeping. Keeps me up at night, but it's so good to feel him finally moving.
He seems to hang out on the right side of my belly for some reason. He makes most his moves on that side of my belly!
We just can't wait to meet our new addition to our family!
Stay posted for more updates!

Quad Screen test results

I had the quad screen test done last week, which checks for down syndrome and spina bifida, along with some other things, but my results came back normal. That was good news.
Heartburn is in full force! Zantac will no longer work on its own, it needs some help from the tums!
Everything else is going very well though. I'm feeling a few movements from the baby but nothing to really talk about.
We can't wait to meet our little boy!

IT'S A BOY!!!

We went for the ultrasound yesterday to find out baby Hughes is going to be a little boy!
Also had the visit with the doctor who said the baby is developing great and fluids look good, so he's pleased with everything. We are so blessed!
I have gained 2 lbs. since last visit, so just 6 lbs. total and I'm 19 weeks...it's true when they say every pregnancy is different. I'm not near as big as I was with Carson, but the doctor says I'm doing fine. I was a little concerned, but he said everything was okay with the weight.
I haven't been feeling much movement, but the baby was certainly moving all over during the ultrasound, so I'm assured he's in there and doing well.
I'm feeling great and can't be any happier.
Carson's not really sure what's going on, but lately he's been understanding something since he says "my mommy" and "my daddy" so hopefully he won't be too jealous when he meets his little brother.
That's all we have to report right now. Everything is great and we're very excited to meet him!
