Half Way There!

I can't believe that it has been 20 weeks already! Only 20 to go! =) The time has flown by. I guess I was lucky that I never had any sickness during my 1st trimester, so it never really felt like I was pregnant.
In just the past 2 weeks I have felt some kicking/moving. It is so cool! (unless it's going on while I'm trying to sleep)... It feels like someone is inside of me, poking me. Well, I guess that's what is happening, so it should be feeling like that, right?
So we had our 20 week ultrasound today. The ultrasound tech said our baby is very active. The tech thought she was going to have trouble doing measurements because baby was moving so much, but the baby was very cooperative. The tech and nurse even said our baby was very photogentic! We saw lots of organs and everything looks great and just the right size. We saw the bladder, stomach, kidneys, heart (all 4 chambers), brain, spine, hands, feet, thigh bone, arms, legs, and a 3-D version of the face. Everything so cool to see! When the tech was scanning the arm, the baby was giving a little thumbs up and the tech was able to catch the picture! Then, when we were looking at the 3-D version, we saw 2 of the cutest, tiniest little yawns happen. It was the sweetest little thing.
And, yes, finally, the little baby bump is starting to show more and more each day. It seems like it is much bigger at night, after I eat dinner. So here are a few pics of baby and me. ENJOY!

Say Cheese! (this is when we saw the yawns)

Oh yah-- last weekend we decided to register! We officially have 2 registries filled with fun baby things. For the most part, we had a lot of fun. Bryan got a little scan crazy in the toy section, and we had some difficulties "packing" the pack n play, but we accomplished a lot. Most of the items we found at Buy Buy Baby, a new store in Downers Grove. The rest of the stuff is at Babies R Us. Both places have online viewing capabilities, so feel free to peek!
