It's a ............................. BOY!!!!!!

I will post pics as soon as Nick gets them scanned I promise!

We had the ultrasound today and everything looks good!  The baby is 15 ounces and around 10 inches long.  The doctor said he's a bit small for his age but it's nothing to worry about and that we'll have another ultrasound around week 30-32. 
Nick is so excited to have a boy.  I have to say that I was sort of hoping that I would be able to get all the frilly outfits and do a little girls hair but I am more than happy having a boy.  Now on to decorating!!!!

I'll post pictures soon!

18 Week Doctor Visit...

I went to my 18 week appointment today.  All is well with the baby.  He/She had a heart beat of 150 beats per min.  All of my measurements were fine and things are progressing just like they should.  I still haven't gained any weight, which my doctor said was fine... and I'm COMPLETELY fine with that!  I worked so hard to lose the 31# that I really would hate to see it come back... I've still got pleanty of extra weight that the baby can take!! :)
Since about week 14 I have been feeling "things" in my stomach.  Since this is my first I have NO idea what a baby moving around would feel like.  Yesterday I DEFINITELY felt the baby move.  After talking to the doctor and listening to it moving around I'm positive that is what I felt.  She said it should happen more often now.  You are so excited to feel the first movement but then again dread the movement when you are trying to sleep at night.  I'm already tossing and turning because I can't get comfortable.  It's just going to get worse too! 
My next appointment is March 30th and that is when we will find out what the gender is!!!  That one will be exciting!  We asked about getting a 3D ultrasound and they said they could do that but insurance wouln't pay for it.  It is more an elective thing.  It would end up costing us 175.00 so we're not sure we really want to spend the money on that right now.  Anyway,  that's the update for now.  More later!
