Week 20-Ultrasound

On Wednesday, July 20th we had our ultrasound to check the baby and make sure everything looked good. We found out we are having a BOY!!! We are so excited! His name will be Gavin Anthony. He was moving so much the US tech could hardly get pictures. We got a couple face pictures and right when she changed it to 3D, he turned against my pelvis and hid his head, so we didn't get to see his face in 3D, I was so bummed! But we did get a very clear picture that he is a boy and confirmed he has boy bits. She said everything that she could see looked great. I am already in love!! He weighes approximatly 12 oz. and is about 10.5 inches long.

So far things are going great, I go in to see my Dr. on monday so he can examine me and tell me about how the US looked. We are hoping to get the armoire in his room this weekend. I already bought a few boy clothes, just because I had to!!! I think I found his going home outfit from the hopital. Hope you all have a great weekend! Update next wed.....

19 weeks- 10 inches long!!

So today I am officially 19 weeks. The baby is 10 inches from head to toe!! WHAT!? Crazy.....It literally feels like the weeks are flying by. I feel like I just did a blog update a couple days ago. Things are starting to get very real for me. I am starting to worry about financial planning and making sure we pay as much of our debt down ans we possibly can before I jeave me job. However, I have been offered to do some at-home stuff for a Little extra money, so I may take that on, but I just don't want to commit to anything more than 15 hours a week just because I will also be juggling school and a 12 year old who will be home schooled AND, lets not forget, the newborn!

Soo, that's about all for this week. OH! We got the crib sanded and hopefully this weekend we will get it stained......taking our time as you can tell!

G'nite

Week 18- sweet potato

So once again, I am posting a day early. Tomorrow I will be 18 weeks! Cannot believe it. Its starting to feel real now. It's just so hard trying for so many years and seeing countless negative pregnancy tests and being told you won't have anymore kids....AND believing it. It feels like I will wake up and the last 3 months will all be a dream.

We went to an amusement park for the fourth. Went to the water park and spent half the say swimming in the lazy river and the wave pool. It was weird feeling my belly underwater. I can tell the small changes in it and how hard it is getting. I am still carrying pretty low, which I don't remember doing with my daughter. I'm not sure how that can determine the gender since it all just depends on where the egg attaches to your uterus.....we will find out in 15 days! two weeks from tomorrow and I am getting more and more impatient as the days go on. Now that we have definitely decided on our names, our newest conflict is choosing what to do the baby's room in. I would like to do it in a sports theme if it's a boy and the husband wants to so something outrageous and difficult like motorcycles, or skateboards or classic cars. The girls room will be way easier than the boys!

That's it! I am enjoying the last day of my 4 day weekend. I have 4 vacation days I need to use up before I leave in November. I think I am going to take two four day weekends in September to use them up...we'll see!
