Kaylor is growing!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Zane and I are just hanging out tonight watching Duck Dynasty (I had to finally agree with Zane that it is quite funny).  I thought I would write a pregnancy update with some photos since little Kaylor is growing and kicking! I definitely don't have days where I don't feel pregnant any more. According to babycenter.com the baby is as large as a spaghetti squash this week. He also kicks so hard that we can see him moving around in my belly! It is a strange feeling. 
We had a midwife apt last week. His heart beat sounds good at 140 beats per minute.

22 Weeks 

I am definitely getting larger. At least I have a good reason. It would be a lot less fun if I was just documenting my weight gain without being pregnant. My hankering for jelly belly jellybeans has helped. I am waiting for it to look more like a baby bump and less like a beer belly.

We were able to get out on our cruiser bikes for the first time this winter. It felt good to be outside and on a bike. I think little Kaylor liked it too.

Love,
Sara, Zane, Sophie, and K.

It's a....

We are officially half way!

We hit 20 weeks on Saturday.  I have been slacking on taking pictures of my growing belly, but now that it is getting larger faster, I will have to try to be better about documenting my expanding waist line. I haven't officially moved into maternity clothes only, but they are comfortable! I am trying to find some cute things that don't make me look like I am wearing a tent.

 

 I started feeling some little kicks and movements at around 18 weeks.. It might be my favorite part of pregnancy thus far. Zane has been able to feel it a few times too, but it's a tricky little bugger because every time I try to let Zane feel it, the little kicks seem to stop. I know I am not making it up though. On our recent ultra sound, we were able to see that it is a very active little baby.

According to babycenter.com at 20 weeks the baby is as long as a banana. Apparently at 20 weeks the baby can now hear us too! All the ultra sound measurements looked good. It seems things are progressing as they should.

Last week we had our gender revealing ultra sound, and it was quite evident that we are having a little boy- a little Mr. Kaylor Calvin Hallock! We actually had his name picked out before we were even pregnant, and I have to admit that I liked the boy name better than the girl name we had considered.

 

Kaylor is the name of my dad's dad and Calvin is the name of Zane's dad's dad. We will then have the option of calling him Kaylor or K.C.  Zane is going to be a great dad to a little boy. Our parents are very excited about having a little grandson too.

 

It has been so fun sharing all of our news with friends and family. I have been so lucky too since some of my wonderful girlfriends are either currently pregnant or have recently been pregnant, and it has been fun exchanging stories and experiences. I feel so lucky to be able to share this with my mom and mother-in-law as well. Kaylor is going to be one loved little boy, and Zane and I feel very fortunate.
