Boy oh Boy!

I had my big ultrasound today. It's a boy! My husband had a hard time seeing the body parts so finally the tech got a great shot in between the legs and there is no doubt. We are so excited. My boys will be just shy of four years apart so I already have a lot of boy clothes in the correct season and now they will have a buddy to do boy things with!

It was so fun to see him moving around and kicking. He kept bringing his right hand up to his face but we couldn't tell if he was putting it in his mouth. He measured at 9 ounces and 6 1/2 inches.

The ultrasound went well. There is a little concern because the last third of the placenta is not fully covered with tissue and umbilical cord. They are NOT diagnosing it as vasa praevia BUT they are going to watch a little closer and do another ultrasound in 8 weeks to check it again. My doctor is very reassuring that he just wants to be cautious and expects everything to be fine.

Here is a picture of the little guy:

I have been feeling well for about two weeks. I made the mistake of taking my vitamins in the morning and threw up during lunch. I won't do that again.

I've got a feeling

I felt the baby move for the first time on October 5 (18 weeks). It was a fluttery feeling across my stomach. Now everyday I feel it moving around, kicking, turning, doing whatever it does in there.
