It's A Boy!

Odd how since the start of this pregnancy I've had this feeling I'm carrying a boy. Not sure if it's because of all of the throwing up I've done or maybe the dreams I have of looking down into the face of the sweetest baby boy I've ever seen. Maybe it's some crazy pregnancy intuition. A few weeks ago after Wes brought home a bull frog (and gave it a bath in the kitchen sink....yuck!!!!), I started really praying for a girl, even trying to make myself dream it's a girl. My instincts were pretty much confirmed today when we got the perfect between the legs shot. Yep, it's a boy! Guess I better learn to like things like frogs, insects, and boogers. Our official doctor's appointment is in two weeks. I'm not sure if they'll do another ultrasound then or not. (I forgot to post about the genetic screening appointment. Everything went very well. During that ultrasound though, it was too early to determine the sex of the baby. All of the genetic bloodwork came back great as well.) Below is a picture from today where we measured his length at 9.?? centimeters long. I can't remember the exact number but just last week he was 7 centimeters.




Even though my number on the scale isn't going up any, my waist line sure has started to move. I put on a swimsuit last weekend to go boat riding on the lake and realized that it's already time to invest in a new one. I didn't look so much pregnant as just a girl who could really use some excercise and a good diet plan. I'll eat those words in a few months I'm sure.


Now that I am finally in the second trimester (week 14) the nausea and other symptoms have for the most part disappeared. My biggest craving is fruit. Perfect timing too since there are fruit and vegetable stands everywhere! My other craving would be bacon cheeseburgers :). A few weeks ago I realized how unappetizing deli meat is to me now so having a sandwich at lunch will not work anymore. And oddly enough, the same with grilled chicken. But now fried chicken......pass me the extra crispy!
