20 weeks... (TAC typing)

We had our 20 week ultrasound and Dr. appt. We were thrilled to find out we are expecting a baby boy!! Neither one of us really said what we were "hoping" for (in fear of being wrong) but I believe we both were for a boy. Or at least, I can speak for myself on this one. I am super excited to have a lil man to raise. We were getting mixed guesses from most of the family. All of whom were excitedly awaiting to hear the news!! I don't think I have ever gotten that many phone calls or text messages in one day. Our Dr. appt following the US went well. I started feeling kicks and punches about 2 weeks ago- I still stop in my tracks when this happens... such an amazing feeling. Our next appt is 12/23 (Merry Xmas) :)

16 weeks... Tracy typing

We had another doctor appointment today. Another heartbeat heard... this one was found very quickly. Heartrate 155. The nurse informed us that the heartrate will continue to decrease as the baby grows. Everything is progressing along as it should. Questions for the doctor: headaches??...ugh!!! I am getting headaches daily- she suggest to drink a coke and take a Tylenol. Hoping that they will not last longer than a few more weeks. Taking birthing and CPR classes??... will do in the 3rd trimester. Weight gain??... I should gain an estimated pound a week going forward. Eeekkk :) She also mentioned my fun high heels will not last much longer :( Oh well- another reason to go shoe shopping, I suppose. And the highlight of the appointment- We scheduled the 20 week ultrasound to find out the gender. 11/24/10!!! It will make for an exciting Turkey Day. Hmmmmm...... Girl or Boy- What is the family's vote???
