18 weeks - It's a BOY!

This past Wednesday, David and I had the opportunity to see our baby! I couldn't believe how clear the ultrasound was! It was definitely amazing. During the ultrasound, we were able to find out that we are having a boy! We are very excited. Here is the "boy" shot :)

We also got some of the ultrasound pictures using the 3d ultrasound technology. It is unbelievable! Here are a few "close-ups."

David is so great - he's soooo excited! I think seeing the baby like this made it much more real for him. He went straight to the mall and bought a couple of really cute onesies - blue of course! He's already talking about camping trips - I told him that it may have to be father and son camping only because Mommy is not much of a camper :) I also wanted to thank the girls at work for being so great - before I even got back to my desk after our appointment, they had decorated my cube in blue! I still have no idea how they knew before I got back - and David swears he didn't tell them, so if anyone might know - let me in on the secret - I promise I won't tell ;)

Also, I wanted to tell our families how grateful we are to have them! They are all so excited - it just makes this experience so much better.

Another fun thing this week - I've felt the baby move for the first time! It's hard to describe, but it is wonderful to know he is in there and that everything is ok!

15 Weeks today!

So, this past Tuesday, David and I had another prenatal appointment. We heard the heartbeat again, and while we were listening we heard a very loud noise - the doctor said that was the baby moving! It's fun to know the baby's moving even if I can't feel it yet. More good news, we get to find out at our next appointment if the baby is a girl or a boy! July 22 - less than 3 weeks away! I don't have a feeling one way or the other. A lot of people have their guesses though :) A few weeks ago, just for fun, I took an "Intelligender" test that I bought from Walgreens. It's supposed to be 80% accurate - it predicted a boy! We're not taking it too seriously, but it was fun just to try!

So, my friends at work are really excited about the baby! They weren't too excited about the results of the "Intelligender" test - they are all hoping for a girl :) I know they will be supportive either way! They are so great - this is what they did to my computer one day before I got to work!

So, I'm getting bigger every day! Especially this last week - a couple of people at work have actually guessed I was pregnant without knowing! So, here is a picture at 12 weeks...

And this is the belly bump at 15 weeks!
