One added perk of taking Lindsey to the mall is the upgraded parking spaces we’re enjoying these days. I’m guessing these spots were originally intended for pregnant women in their third trimesters. Still Lindsey meets the criteria on the sign, and these parking spots were really close.

We had our second ultrasound appointment today at 18 weeks. Lindsey and I enjoyed getting to see our baby again. It was amazing to see how much he’s grown since our last ultrasound five weeks ago. Oh, did we mention it’s a he?
Overall Lindsey’s pregnancy continues to go well. She manages to devour several boxes of organic frosted mini wheats each week, so the baby must be enjoying his cereal.

Tiny fingers.

Big feet.

The beautiful Mommy.

Proud Daddy.

Lindsey did some shopping for maternity clothes today. Here’s the result.

Today we had our first ultrasound at 11 1/2 weeks. It was exciting to see our 5cm long baby snoozing away in Mommy’s tummy. It woke up for a moment and moved it’s arms and legs, but soon went back to sleep with it’s hands up near it’s face. The ultrasound tech tried to wake the baby up so she could get a clear picture of its nose, but Baby King wasn’t having it.

Today we went to the Doctor’s office and heard our baby’s heartbeat for the first time. Since Lindsey hasn’t had any morning sickness or significant pregnancy symtoms (other than being a little tired), this was the first concrete evidence that there really was a baby in Lindsey’s tummy. It was a great sound to hear!
