20 weeks

This pregnancy is becoming more and more different than my pregnancy with Rilynn. At 20 weeks, I feel like I'm more like 30 weeks. My feet are starting to swell, I've felt movement since about 12 weeks and Travis since 16 weeks. Everything has been so much earlier this go around. Rilynn is still in denial that she's having a brother. Although, she prefers playing with boys so I don't think she'll be disappointed for long.

Other updates...

We planted in our veggie beds!

The water feature is amazing. We keep our window open at night to listen to it. 

The deck is filled with a castle, water table, and a kiddie pool with a slide.

Rilynn went tubing for the first time and LOVED it! Couldn't get her off the tube.

Lots of boating days ahead this summer.

Had some friends over to BBQ

Rilynn got a big girl bed as a reward for being 1 week potty trained! She rocked it!
 And of course she has her Nick dog on the bed.

Loves her Nick and Saycie shirt... Need a Lexi one next, Aunt Suzie!

My favorite place in the house is our kitchen nook.

We did some painting to replace the lime green.

I was worried about the amount of house work that comes along with a big house... A playroom to keep all of her toys and a rumba to vacuum for me has solved those problems. :) 

It's a...

Portland Ultrasound was great! We would highly recommend them to any of our pregnant friends, much more relaxed than a doctors office setting. 

Travis is very excited to have a boy. Rilynn and I were team pink, but we will come around to the idea of a boy. She complained for a while insisting it was a baby sister.  Growing up with a sister, I think every girl needs a sister... Guess that means we aren't done yet, Honey! ;)  At least I don't have to paint the nursery at the new house. 

15/16 weeks

He or She what will Baby Berg #2 be?

We find out on Tuesday, for real this time.  My OBGYN had been my doctor for years. I went to her for the first half of my pregnancy with Rilynn until switching insurance companies.  This pregnancy I was excited to be back with her.  She is part of a group practice, which started to create some issues for us. At my first ultrasound, there was a cyst on the umbilical cord, so my doctor wanted us to do genetic testing and extra ultrasounds to check things out.  We saw 3 different doctors in my last 3 visits, creating many communication issues, including canceling our 16 week ultrasound, without telling us, after the cyst had gone away. Our wait time was anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes to see a provider.  We chose to switch to a private practice OBGYN for the rest of my pregnancy. We still get to have my C-section at the same hospital, just down the street from our new home.
The anticipation for Tuesday is killing me now! As most of you know, I am predicting a girl. Fast heart rate and my last ultrasound showing no sign of a penis have brought me to that prediction. Rilynn guesses girl as well and Travis is still holding onto hope for a boy. 

At 16 weeks...

We moved past the flutter stage and can feel actual kicks now!

I've gained 12 pounds already! Wowzers, that came on quickly.

Wearing pretty much all maternity clothes.

Feeling energetic and overwhelmed with all the craziness going on in our lives right now. 

Rilynn...

Is loving school. She sings all of her school songs for us and loves to play school where she is the teacher and we are the students. We are so impressed with all that she's learning at her amazing preschool. She loves playing with all the boys at school. 

Is excited to be a big sister.

Loves swim lessons, wearing goggles, and going down the slide. Hates floating on her back. 

House update: we move May 14. Our garage has turned into a storage unit for furniture and our old guest room is filled  with boxes.  We can't wait to get into the new house and start making it our home!
