BOY!!!
We couldn't be happier!! We are so thrilled and can't wait to meet him! :)
He is defninitely not shy and had no qualms about showing his goods! :)
Last week at our ultrasound we found out this exciting news of our little boy! He is about 6-7 inches long, roughly 13 ounces (+ or - 2 ounces) and his heart rate was about 142. He is perfectly lined up with where he should be. We are still due 12/27/08. :) He had all of his fingers, toes, legs, arms, etc. We also got a picture of the 4 chambers of his precious little heart and also got a high-5 from him. He is doing great! His brain is developing perfectly. His little profile is as precious as ever! :) We are always amazed at such a beautiful miracle that is being made from us.
I have been feeling the baby move for quite some time now. He is one strong boy!! Matt has felt him move too. It is so cool! He is very active especially when I lay down for bed at night. I'm wondering if this is just a little sample of what is to come when he is out of my belly. :)
Speaking of my belly....it is growing and getting in the way when I bend over or lean over. I don't mind whatsoever! I painted my toes a few weeks ago and it was kind of hard...I had some difficulty and Matt thought it was kind of funny. Just wait until I have him paint those toes or he gets to pay for a pedicure.... :) I can't quite dash up the stairs like I used to, either. I love it!! I wouldn't trade it! There are things I am so grateful for due to
the benefits of being pregnant:
Your husband is sure to always get the door for you (wait, he always has!!)
He gets the car door too
He helps you up with his hand....(wait, he's done that one too!)
You don't have to lift heavy things or slightly heavy things or questionably heavy things anymore (YES!!!)
You get some new clothes (thank GOD!!)
You ALWAYS have a good excuse for a nice nap
You can eat pretty much whatever you want.....wait, WHENEVER you want without being questioned :) I still eat whatever I want. :)
You already have an excuse for crying (as if being a girl wasn't one already)
People complement you on your growing size... :)
These are just a start to my *growing* list. :)
