We are now officially in Month 5 and Week 22! Baby is doing great and Monday morning we had a follow up to our anatomy ultrasound, since last time baby was cuddled up, belly to the placenta, and wouldn't flip over no matter how much movement I did. This time baby cooperated and let the technician see everything needed. Baby's heart rate was 157bpm and they told me everything is looking good. It's a little bitter sweet, as that was our last medical ultrasound this pregnancy (and likely our last one ever as a family). We do plan to go for the 3D ultrasound for photos and to see baby one more time, sometime in late August.

I'm slowly making Baby a matching blanket to the two I made while pregnant with Claire & Hayden. I decided to make this one yellow since we won't know if it is a girl or a boy until November.

I do plan to wait and buy newborn baby clothes until after baby is born so we don't have a bunch of green/brown/yellow. We have a ton of girl & boy clothes from 3-18 months but have little to no newborn clothes as we had borrowed a lot of them last time and then gave them back.
We are planning to go to the new South Hospital Campus and I am also looking forward to seeing the new facility and seeing how it differs from Rockyview and our experience last time. I'm confident that no matter where we go the doctors and nurses will be wonderful again. I'm also considering hiring a doula this time around for the extra support.
Baby has been kicking harder and harder lately. I'm sure that Phil will be able to feel it for himself soon. Last week Claire yelled and the baby kicked, so I know baby can hear us now and I'm sure they are getting used to all of the random toddler yelling.
