It's a.......BOY!!!!

As I mentioned on my last post, we had someone from school scan me. At first the baby didn't cooperate, he was being very modest. The tech was finally able to sneak a peek. She said she's 90% sure it's a boy! 90% because he's small and was in an awkward position. But she was pretty darn sure...I mean 90% is pretty sure, though we will have our 20 week Dr's appt. next month and it'll be easier to see. Just a couple pics:

The last pic is hard to tell it's a boy...or hard to tell it's even a baby :) I think the image moved when she took the pic, but we were seeing it on the monitor and we could totally see what she was talking about and it definitely looked like a boy!

We are SO excited to have a boy! And this was the first time we got to see what's growing inside me...it's so surreal!

What do you think?

Today I was sitting in clinicals and my rotation this week shares a space with ultrasound. A few ultrasound tech's have offered to scan me but I haven't had a chance yet to do it and quite frankly it actually hasn't been very convenient even though I work pretty much directly with them.

But as I said this week I share an office with them and realized, "Oh, they can scan me like today!" So Carson is on his way over and we'll get our first view of our baby!

Originally I just wanted to just see the baby. I didn't want to find out today what we're having. I planned on waiting until our 20 week appointment at the Dr.'s office but Carson thinks we should. The sooner we find out, the sooner we can start planning.....I was kinda hesitant, but I gave in...I think we'll do it!

So quite possibly, if the tech can tell, we will be finding out the sex of the baby TODAY! I am 16 weeks which they are able to tell at this time.

So, what do you think? Boy? Girl? Let us know. We'll see if you're right!

The baby bump has emerged

Well I am 15 weeks and into the 2nd trimester. Just this last week I kinda started the "popping" process. It's kind of an awkward stage as I pretty much just feel fat. :)

I'm still feeling pretty darn good, knock on wood. My lack of energy has subsided quite a bit. That has been the hardest part. There have been a couple of tears shed over the stress of juggling work, school, and being pregnant; therefore, being exhausted but Carson has been quite supportive. I couldn't have a better partner.

It's crazy to think I'm over 3 months pregnant already...hard to fathom we'll be welcoming a new member to the family in only 6 months!
