Today I am 20 weeks 6 days. Tomorrow 21 weeks. Wowza, time is flying. And my belly is growing.
Everyone who is reading this probably knows, but Baby Baldwin is a boy and his name will be Cooper Grant. The name I have loved since before I was pregnant. My mom, Tim & I were all a little shocked at the ultrasound because I think we all expected girl. But honestly, we're thrilled. Everything was perfect. His measurements were good, his little heart was beating away, and he was wiggling a lot. It took the technician a good 15-20 minutes to get a shot between the legs because he was crouched down with his legs crossed. Thank God she was determined to find the sex :)
Within the last few days, Cooper has been moving quite a bit. I even felt him kick on the outside with my hand a couple of days ago. Tim hasn't been able to catch him yet though. But we both talk to him calling him by name. Feeling his movements are the most wonderful thing I can ever imagine. He seems to be most active at night when I lay in bed.
We finally were able to visit Tim's parents this past weekend. Mom B loved hearing Cooper's heartbeat with the doppler. She is just thrilled like the rest of us. Alan is hanging in there. Prayers always needed for him and the family. He was able to hear the heartbeat as well.
