Around 18 or 19 weeks I started feeling the little butterflies in my stomach for the first time and it was very obvious that I was pregnant...to me and to others! By about 21 or 22 weeks Erich could feel it kicking with his hand on my belly which was really cool for me to have him start to "feel the pregnancy" since up to this point it was basically just me telling him what everything was like. These are our 20 week ultrasound pictures which we think are pretty incredible. It is just awesome to see the 3d images of the face. Also, we no longer have to speak in gender neutral terms because we found out it is a BOY!!! We are so excited (and the nursery is already painted blue)! Erich immediately started fantasizing about how good of an athlete he was going to be and is hoping he inherits my calves....Everyone has seemed pretty surprised so far that it's a boy, for some reason most people were thinking girl...It will be the first grandson and great-grandson for my family, but he will be joining the growing brood of boys in the Ottervanger family! Here comes trouble : ) It's really great to know that Erich will get to carry on his family name. It's still hard to tell who he is going to look like, but he does have a prominent nose which Erich thinks is mine. I think his brow line and forehead look like Erich's. We can't wait to meet him in person, though! This weekend we're going shopping for cribs, strollers, car seats, and everything else baby to start working on our registry. Perhaps I'll get Erich to take some belly pics of me. I haven't had any yet, as I'm not really a fan of documenting myself getting bigger and bigger. We have another appointment next week, so we'll have more updates then. Love to All! Kiley, Erich, and Baby boy O!!
