24 Weeks

I'm finally putting up some belly pictures. I'm 24 weeks along, next week is the final trimester! Sometimes I forget that I'm pregnant and then I try to put some clothes on and those hips don't lie! They are preparing early for labor I guess, thank goodness for stretch jeans.

It's official!

Today lasted so long because I just wanted my appointment to come so I could find out about my baby! Jack got off of work early to meet me at the doctor's office. I've gained 8 pounds(!) and the doctor could hear the baby's heart beat great. Then for the good stuff, the ultrasound!!

Just after a minute she said, its a boy. And oh yes, it was obvious it was a boy. I said, you're sure right? I didn't want to buy boy's clothing and then have a masculine looking baby girl! It was so fun, she even printed off 5 ultrasound pictures of the hand, foot, its a boy, and other poses. So I hung it on the fridge. The DVD is great, I just need to figure out how to load it. It was great to see the spine fully developed and the toes. I have to have another ultrasound in a month to see the face. Baby was faced sideways so we only had a profile view. They want to check to see if the lips are fully developed without abnormalities. So far though a very healthy looking babe! I'll be the first one to have a boy on my side.
