Vaccinated!

30 weeks, 2 days

No flu for me! Swine or otherwise. I've gotten both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccine. Hopefully I'll be protected from getting too sick this winter. I was able to get the H1N1 vaccine at my 30 week appointment on Friday. My OB said that everything looks good and I'm measuring right where I should be. I also broke the 150 mark on the scale, that's a little scary but only to me I think. The other slight disappointment is that there will be no more ultrasounds. As long as everything goes smoothly from here, we won't see Reece again until he's out in the world.
As for other baby updates, according to my updates, Reece is about 16 inches long and weighs about 3 lbs. He continues to be active in my belly and every now and then we actually see a little baby body part move across my entire belly. He's definitely on my right side because I can feel him in my ribs. It's a little uncomfortable and typically when I push, he pushes back.
As for Tyler and I, everything is going well. We've got the nursery mostly done, we just need to add a few items. We ordered our stroller/carseat travel system this weekend and that should be here by the end of the month. Things are coming together and the Morse household and we can't wait for our new arrival!

Reece is stealing my brain!

So, I'm learning what everyone means by "Pregnant Brain". I've been fairly forgetful and absent-minded lately. A recent example, I showed up at my OB appointment Friday with my wonderful husband only to realize, after the receptionist asked more than once if I actually did have an appointment that day, that we were a week early! There are probably other examples but that's the only one I can remember right now. The next few months should be entertaining at least.
Other than just feeling a little dumb, things are going well. The belly is growing quickly and Reece has been quite active. When he moves around now you can watch my belly move. We can also feel little body parts in my belly every now and then. According to my updates, Reece weighs about 2 1/2 lbs and is about 15" from head to toe. He's working on gaining weight, his skeleton is beginning to harden and his head is growing to accommodate his developing brain. (Which I like to think is why I'm so dumb these days.) We're really looking forward to meeting the new family member!

Updates...

New family car!

Crib

We have a few updates since the last post. We bought the crib for the nursery (which I'm excited to say I found on sale with free shipping!). It's a simple design, just our style. We also got a our new (to us) family car! It's a lovely '02 Audi S6 Avant. If you don't speak Audi, it's a wagon with 340 hp. We love it!
Nothing too new with the pregnancy. Reece and I are doing fine. He's definitely getting more active, and I think he keeps getting a foot or something stuck in my ribs on my right side. According to my updates, Reece weighs about 2 lbs. He's supposed to be sleeping and waking at regular intervals, he does seem most active around the time I'm trying to sleep. I have one more week left in my second trimester, next Saturday will be 28 weeks and the start of the third trimester. It seems to be flying by!
