It's a BOY!!


This this is our little boy, the bottom picture the baby is looking up at us.  
Turns out Guy's 94% prediction was accurate after all.  

We had another ultrasound today because one of my blood test came back with abnormal results so they wanted to get a closer look at the baby.  We were a little nervous about today, but we came away with great news.  The baby looks just as he should, I go back in four weeks for another ultrasound to get a closer look at the heart and he will have grown even more.  We praise God for the good news and rest in peace knowing he's in control of our baby, and he knows what he's doing!

16 Weeks

This was the baby at six weeks, and here it is at 16 weeks.
The top one is facing this way the bottom one has his/her back to us.  They aren't exactly clear but you get the picture.

We had our 16 week appointment today, everything is looking good.  The baby refused to uncross his or her legs so the doctor wasn't able to tell what the sex may be.  He tried pushing on it to try to get it to move around but no luck.  I will have my 20 week ultrasound in 4 weeks, so hopefully the baby will cooperate.  My blood pressure was a little high so I go back in two weeks check to have that checked out, it's usually a little higher when I'm at the doctor's office.  I probably need to take it a bit easy.  

I am a bit surprised that I have had three ultrasounds in the last 16 weeks.  Although it has been fun to watch the baby grow and change.  We are still amazed that everything is going well.  Other than having a hard time sleeping a some stretching pains I feel really good.

It's been awhile...

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I'm still new at this whole thing.  We currently don't have a camera since my husband stepped on ours!  I promise I will post some "belly" pictures soon.  I have my next doctor's appointment on Monday and I'm sure there will be more to share then.

I am taking 12 hours of grad classes and teaching summer school for the month of June, so I will be a bit busy until July at least.  I am feeling fine and trying to adjust to my clothes getting tighter but not quite ready for maternity wear.  We continue to be thankful and blessed that everything seems to be going well this time around.
