It's a boy!

I have to admit we were a little surprised at first. We've been going around thinking it was a girl for 3 months and we were wrong! I couldn't believe it when the ultrasound tech told us!

These are the "boy parts" but it's pretty hard to see what's going on. The tech promised me it was there, so I'll have to take her word for it.

Heartbeat was 140 beats per minute and here is an image of the 4 chambers of the heart. Everything looks perfect!And the spine looked good as well.
And a cute little foot! Baby T had one leg down and one by his head! He's flexible!
I'm still in shock 2 days later, but it's starting to sink in.
I'm so excited for my little baby boy to come into our lives!

18 Week Update

Baby's the size of a sweet potato!
Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

I've become one of *those* women. The ones that are still suffering from morning sickness into second trimester. I love when people ask work as me how I'm feeling because I look sick or tired. I tell them I'm still pretty nauseous and they say, "Oh, just wait until second trimester!" No, no. I'm already way into it!

I thought I made it through the winter without getting sick, but this weekend changed that. I have a cold and sinus headache : ( I'm popping the Sudafed and have my humidifier going so I can get better soon. Being sick is hard enough, but being pregnant & having a migraine while sick is even worse. It's also bad timing for work because I have a big week coming up. We're still working on a back-up during maternity leave, but right now, I'm my own back-up and can't be away very long.

Yuck, I didn't plan on being in a bad mood, but it's hard being sick. On a good note, we are officially wait-listed at a daycare! We did another tour this week and really loved the place. It might be over a year to wait, but it's the most convenient and we both felt really comfortable there. I'd still like to visit a couple more so we have alternatives.

And the best news of all, 2 days until our next ultrasound and gender scan! I can't wait! We're looking forward to going shopping for furniture soon too! : )

Can it be next week already?

I'm DYING to know the gender! And I'm dying to have another ultrasound to see the baby! I was way too spoiled at the fertility treatment center where an ultrasound was a bi-weekly occurrence.

I just wanna know!
