It's A.....

BOY!! 

We're having a boy!

We had our anatomy scan done on Friday. Baby boy is measuring approximately 1lb and 3oz, and had a heart rate of 145bpm. Big sister was there with us and got to see her little brother kicking around. When daddy told her it was a boy she said "No, girl". Daddy told her again that it was a boy, she was going to have a brother and her response was "Ughh!" Haha! The technician told her she was going to say that a lot when it comes to her little brother! We are over the moon excited!

This one made me giggle because it looks like he's flexing his muscles!

We announced our fantastic news to S's family on Sunday. I wanted to come up with something fun to tell them, other than the traditional gender reveal cake or simply saying "It's a boy"! So I hopped on Pinterest and found a way to make your own scratch off lotto cards and made these using some examples from around the internet.

Ultrasound photos!

I just realized that I never posted our ultrasound pictures! I've been a HORRIBLE blogger lately, I'm sorry. I promise I'm going to make more of an effort, even with the Christmas season upon us!

This is from our dating and confirmation ultrasound on September 18th, I was almost 8 weeks.

These two are from an ultrasound I had done on October 30th, I was 12weeks and 4 days.

whole body picture, again the umbilical cord is crossing right in front.

We have our big mid-pregnancy anatomy scan coming up before the end of this month and we should know if this little Squirt is a boy or a girl! I am anxiously waiting and can't wait to show you all our big reveal!

1lb 3oz

Baby Squishy had his/her anatomy scan today! Baby weighs in at 1lb 3oz and is in the 75th percentile for his/her weight! I am going to have a big baby!

The tech said that Squishy looks very healthy, has good measurements for heart, bladder, kidneys, and head size. He or she is just a bit of a porker! Squishy spent the entire ultrasound using my bladder as a trampoline, much to the amusement of the tech! Mommy on the other hand didn't find it cute since I already had a very full bladder and felt that I may pee myself at any moment! We got to bring home two pictures (see end of post) and while S is very creep-ed out by the face shot, we both are already so very in love with our little one!

We celebrated afterword by going shopping and buying a "mommy loves me" onesie with bears on the feet, and a "I love daddy" bib that matches, in neutral colors of course!

I will admit that I had my moments of doubt leading up the u/s today that maybe, just maybe, I wanted to know if Squishy is a boy or a girl. However I am so happy with my decision to stay Team Green and not find out until the moment that Squishy enters this world! As a note to all of you out there in real life who read this blog, be aware that I have a bad habit of calling Squishy he or him. In no way shape or form do I know, it just keeps happening and I cannot control it! It's reflex, so please forgive me!

And now for the pictures....
ETA: I cannot post pictures right now for some reason or another... please check back later!

Looking right at you, mouth open, and waving hello!

Ultrasound Pictures

Thought I would catch you up on what I haven't blogged about in the past 11 weeks or so... first of all here's the stick that told us so!












And here's our very first ultrasound picture! Taken on 2/25/10









So I basically have had no vomiting, other than a icky stomach bug in the first few weeks of being pregnant! My only real symptoms have been mostly tiredness, sore breasts, cramping and a few headaches early on. However I've been in the second trimester for about two weeks now and no more symptoms! Yay!
