It's a Boy!
I'm a little late posting this (oops!), but now you know! Right from the start we kept saying that "we just knew it was a boy", but the reality is, that we were quite shocked to have it confirmed! I think we have always imagined ourselves with daughters, but with each passing day we get more and more excited to have a son. I am starting to feel really connected to this baby in a new way. Now that he is a "he" and not just an "it", the love for this little life inside of me is really starting to grow. I just know it will only be a matter of days before I finally feel him move inside of me! Until then...think blue!

Stuck
The last few days have kinda been a drag. Maybe it's the hormones or the shorter days? Whatever it is, I feel like crap, housework is overwhelming me and my job has been less than blissful. I have so much to be thankful for, so much to look forward to, but right now I'm just stuck in a rut.

The light at the end of this tunnel? Thanksgiving break, and finally finding out the sex of our baby on Tuesday! Hopefully that will be just what I need to boost my mood. So what do you think... Boy? Girl?

I'm in my 2nd Trimester!


And I couldn't be more thrilled! I am so relieved to have made it this far, and I feel like I can finally feel comfortable telling everyone that we are expecting :) I have been so reserved, not letting myself get "too excited" in fear of the worst. Now I'm ready to start planning for baby!
Yesterday was our 13 week NT scan and it went perfect! I was expecting to wait a week or so to hear the results, but they were able to reassure us within minutes of the ultrasound. We still don't have the exacts "odds", but the Dr. looked at my ultrasound and blood test results, and said that our numbers are so high that we have nothing to worry about :) Best of all
, we were able to see our LO looking like a "real baby" for the first time! It was arching it's back and waving it's little hand! I think DH was even
more i
nto it than I was! The u
/s tech was so friendly and made the whole experience so pleasant for DH and I. One thing I must admit though...they really had to dig that u/s wand in! Ouch! I think I may actually prefer the dildo cam ;)
Oh ya, and I also got the H1N1 vacc... I'm not really sure how I feel about this, but at least I don't have to think about it anymore!

Life's a Peach
Today we are 13 weeks and 1 day along...and baby is the size of a peach! It's so hard to believe that something so substantial is swimming around in there, and I can't even feel a flutter! The "Morning Sickness" is no better, yet no worse (aside from a bad experience with some Chinese food ::Gag::) Tomorrow is our NT scan, and I am equal parts nervous, and excited, to finally see our LO looking like a "real baby". DH is going to meet me at the ultrasound office after work, and I am so glad that he will be there with me to see our baby's little face, hands, and feet for the first time :) I hope that we get some good pics to show everyone too!

Olive you!

I'm now 9 weeks along and baby is the size of a green olive. It seriously blows my mind to think that there is actually a little creature, with arms and legs, swimming around in my ute! It made sense when baby was only the size of an apple seed, but now that it actually looks like a little human, I am really expecting to feel something different. The odd thing is, I have actually been feeling a little better this past week. My "cravings" have been shockingly logical too. I crave fruit (still), salads when we go out, milk, tuna salad, minestrone soup (this is new), and Cheerios when I feel nauseous. Despite all these good, fiber rich foods, I am going on day 3 without a decent poop. I'm crossing my fingers that today, after eating 6 prunes last night, will finally be "the day"...
Despite the lack of poop, I had an amazing weekend!
On Sunday DH and I drove up to "Apple Hill" to visit some of the apple farms up there. We looked at crafts, bought some fruit, and sucked in the crisp fall air. Every Autumn, if only for a few hours, life pure bliss! I'm not sure what it is about that place, but it always makes DH super romantic and attentive :) Come to think of it, DH has been great lately...helping me out around the house, spoiling me with spending money, cuddling up with me at night, and just taking great care of his prego wife. I am a happy woman.
