Our anatomy scan is this coming Tuesday. Part of me feels like I can't believe I'm almost halfway done, but the other part feels like it's been forever. I'm so excited to see Little Dude again, especially knowing he has grown so much just since we saw him at 15 weeks.
I've been feeling some rolling around in there... a little here and there when I lie really still, usually at night. This morning when I was lying in bed I felt a little movement, but still nothing really big. I'm excited to feel kicks and other feelings that I'll know for sure aren't just gas.
Still no consensus on names. Thanks for all the suggestions! I like some of them a lot, but for both of us to agree will take some kind of miracle, I think. :)
I'm getting to the point where I really need maternity clothes. I've been wearing the pants for quite awhile but I've been getting away with regular shirts in bigger sizes. But now everything is too short or too tight, and it's getting more and more difficult. I can't believe how much this stuff costs! I've been checking thrift stores, but everything there is so old-fashioned... giant sweaters, flannel shirts, ugly dresses, and frumpy overalls... where are the cute, normal-looking things? Oh yeah. In the store, full-price, and beyond my budget. Dang it.
I took this picture for a friend the other day, so I figured I'd share it with you. I am still feeling mostly fat and frumpy, but it's beginning, I guess. My stomach is sticking out more than my boobs do, and if you knew me before I was pregnant, you'll know that's kind of a big deal.

You look so pretty!!!!!
yep. Shannon.. my official diagnosis is.. you're pregnant. : )
and gorgeous as always
Wal-Mart and Target have cute maternity clothes. Probably only to the point that you'll be able to wear them through this pregnancy only. :)

Ultrasound Facts and Information
3D ultrasounds
Ultrasound is a device that allows you to see your baby during pregnancy. During the sonogram is a picture taken of your baby during the ultrasound. During the sonogram is a "still shot" of your child. 4d Ultrasounds take 3d Ultrasounds images, or Sonograms 3D, and adds the element of time to this process. The result: Live ultrasound images of work your child. Some people refer to the procedure and prenatal imaging, imaging 3D, 3D scanning, scan or 4D.
3d Ultrasounds is a medical ultrasound technique is often used in the ultrasound department of ultrasonography (during pregnancy) and provides three dimensional images of the fetus.
There are several ways to scan in medicine and obstetrics and ultrasounds. Standard common obstetric diagnostic mode is 2D scanning. 3D scanning of the fetus, but instead of sound waves are sent down and reflected is sent from different angles. Back to the deal echoes a sophisticated computer program is the result of the number of reconstructing three-dimensional images of the inner or fetal ultrasound organs. 3d Ultrasounds allow you to see the width and height and depth of the images in much the same way as in film 3D, but no movement is shown.
4D Ultrasound
A 4d Ultrasounds uses the same technology as a 3d Ultrasounds but adds a video element to see the baby moving inside a mother's womb. You might have heard about a 4d Ultrasounds? What exactly is the difference? Instead of looking at single still images of your baby, like snapshots, 4d Ultrasoundsassembles them into a time series—in other words, a video of your baby inside the womb.
4d Ultrasounds a fully digital system is set to provide a 'next generation' integrated solution for medical imaging applications, allowing practitioners to provide faster treatment and improve therapeutic success rates.
The portability and low cost of 4d Ultrasounds systems allow physicians and family physicians have access to imaging systems on a daily basis and make a valuable contribution in the field of preventive medicine.
Three-dimensional (3D Scan) and four-dimensional (4D Scan) ultrasounds can be a bit more complicated to perform, so it’s important to choose an ultrasound center with a strong track record of 3D and 4D ultrasounds examinations.
4d Ultrasounds is similar to 3D scans, with the difference associated with time: 4D allows a 3-dimensional picture in real time, rather than delayed, due to the lag associated with the computer constructed image, as in classic 3-dimensional ultrasound.
