Oh yes, that would be the little boy in my tummy. I can hardly believe that I am less than 16 weeks away from having this precious little boy. He's such an active little thing and stubborn all at the same time. I've had two ultrasounds now and he has yet to give me a good picture of his little face. I think we are in for a long road ahead of us once he's born!!!
We had our first ultrasound approximately 4 1/2 weeks ago. That's when we got to see his beating heart, cute little feet and, well, his "boy parts". And boy oh boy, did he show those parts proudly. Certainly no denying that he is our little man. We had to go back last week for another ultrasound as they could not see his stomach clearly enough. They were worried that his stomach was too small, but after this one they found he has a perfectly big tummy and he was swallowing fluids properly. As Josh put it, "if he's my boy, he knows how to eat!"
I go back for my next doctor's appointment on June 26th. I actually have to have another ultrasound on that day as they are now concerned about some mild dilation is in his right kidney. I was definitely freaked out at first, but I'm sure everything is fine. Still scary though! I will also be doing my glucose test......YUCK. I'm so not looking forward to it, but I know it's all for a good cause.
Overall, my pregnancy has gone rather smoothly. I never got true "morning sickness" and this 2nd trimester has been pretty great. Josh is quite impressed with all of my energy. Granted I could do without the back pain, nose bleeds (yes, nose bleeds), and leg cramps, but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. We registered for the baby last weekend. I don't know that I would ever do that again. It was quite overwhelming with everything to choose from. I didn't know what some stuff was, even though I did a ton of research before hand. Oh well, hopefully I picked out some good stuff!
I will try to keep this updated with all the baby happenings. And maybe next time, I can get a good picture of this guy to post. If not, my wonderful friend Amber (yes you received a shout out) got me a gift certificate for my birthday to have a 4D ultrasound. I will probably have that at Week 30, so not too far away!
