Its Officially a Boy!

Matt and I found out on Friday, May 13 that we are definatly 100% having a boy!  When we went in for our appointment on Monday the cord was between the baby's legs so they could not give us a definate answer.  They tried for a half hour to get the baby to reposition himself but he wouldn't. 

The ultrasound tech was getting a little frustrated and said "wow you will have a stubborn baby on your hands.  Which one of you does he take after?"  Matt and I both looked at each other, smiled, and said the baby will be just like its Daddy!  We had a pretty good hunch at that point it would be a little boy.

The ultrasound tech confirmed that we are having a boy at our Friday appointment.  As soon as she said boy I got tears in my eyes and instantly felt so much closer to the little baby that is inside me.  Just knowing that it is a boy made the pregnancy feel so much more real, and almost like wow, we really will have a baby here in just over 5 months and I can't wait to meet him!

The great part about not finding out on Monday is that I got to see my baby twice in one week!  He really was darling, we could see him moving all around, stretching, and kicking his legs.  The ultrasound tech said he was sucking his thumb too.  She also said that he was one of the most active babies that she had ever seen.  I think I may have my hands full come October 30th and I can't wait! :)

Boy or Girl?

Matt and I are finding out if we are having a boy or girl tonight!! Well, if all goes to plans.  I am just barely 15 weeks and it will depend on if the baby wants to be cooperative or not, but I think we will find out tonight.

Half our family and friends say boy, the other half say girl.  Matt and I go back and forth pretty much on a daily basis so I can't wait to find out!  I have been trying to not get too excited either way, so that no matter what we are having I will be thrilled for. 

I do have to admit though, I am slightly nervous to find out if its a boy or girl.  It is one of those landmarks in a pregnancy and I think everything will start feeling so real after this.  Then Matt and I can start buying things for the baby and start thinking of names and really get excited for our little Halloween baby to get here!
