Baby LaMacchia #3: Half way there -- 20 Weeks!

Well, we've made it to the halfway point for Baby LaMacchia #3!

Its been quite the rough road so far.  I was pretty sick for the first 15 weeks, at least.  I never felt nauseous this bad with Hannah or Noah's pregnancies.  It's not just morning sickness, its All-day-wake-me-in-the-middle-of-the-night to puke sickness.  Nothing I eat or drink helps, naps don't help, so I've pretty much had to just suck it up!  (and whine about it from time to time as well)  My OB did prescribe me a medication that helps from time to time, but it is better than nothing I guess.

Because I've felt so awful, I've done a horrible job taking pictures of the pregnancy so far with Baby #3.  Poor thing is already falling to the third child syndrome where they don't have the sheer amount of pictures and documenting that Baby #1 did.  Even Noah has fallen to that issue as well.  But we do our best :)

So here are the half-hearted attempts at baby bump pictures we've taken along the way so far...

1st bump pic-  Around 14 weeks:                                                            Around 16 weeks:
(picture credit to Hannah!)                                                        (I was actually modelling my new purse)
                                        

And here are the 20 week bump pictures:

-Baby is the size of a banana and weighs about 10 ounces.
-I've been feeling a lot of movement for the past 4-5 weeks as well.

 
 

This pregnancy has been rather fun to experience with Hannah and Noah.  Hannah is genuinely excited and constantly asking how I'm feeling, how the baby is doing, hugging and kissing my belly, and asking details about what the baby is doing right now!  We've been looking at a baby growth app on my phone when she asks, so I can show her how big the baby is and what it is up to this week.  She is truly excited!

When we ask the kids what they think Mommy is having, we have mixed answers all the time.  While Hannah is insistent that she will only be getting a baby sister, Noah changes his answer based on his mood I guess.  Sometimes he says girl, sometimes boy, he has no clue!  When we tell Hannah there is a chance she could get a brother, she tells us no, it's only going to be a sister.  Let's hope she can handle things if this baby ends up being a boy!

Here are the Ultrasound pictures of Baby #3.  Baby was very cooperative for the US tech and she kept commenting how easy this was going for her.  Thanks a lot for taking it easy on someone else Baby!

Baby is measuring exactly where he/she is supposed to be, and my dates were spot on.  We are still looking at November 16th estimated due date!!  See you in 20 weeks little peanut :)
