There's one thing for sure........

That Y chromosome was quite obvious.  Yepsiree, we are having a boy!  

                                                             Long legs like Jake!                

                                                                       Cute Face

                                                                    Great feet for running!

                                    I think I almost look the same as week 17, but I FEEL a lot bigger

Count Down

Tomorrow we get to find out if we are having a boy or girl!  I am really excited.......and anxious, and nervous and am feeling a million things!  Jake said he is most anxious because that means we have to get serious about picking a name and I think the whole idea of naming a person is stressing him out.  I think it will be easier though, narrows the choices down quite a bit once you know the sex.  I do really want to know what we are having, but it's also a really big step in this becoming VERY real.  Not to say that my belly hasn't grown two fold this week - because it really feels like it has.  I had four patients today (4!!) ask me if I was pregnant.  I still think they were pretty daring to ask, but I guess it means it is becoming more apparent and obvious.  I am loving my maternity pants for work.  A few weeks ago they felt overkill and ridiculous, and now I can't imagine wearing anything else. I realized today that I need to be REAL careful what shirts I wear to work, or plan to always wear a tight tank top underneath.  I'm feeling a little more "endowed" and shirts that were never an issue have become a big problem.  I'll keep you posted on our US tomorrow!

A little late than never

Welcome! We are almost halfway through this pregnancy.  We have long admired our blogging friends, especially getting to follow their pregnancies and new adventures.  So here we go!  Better late than never, we are embarking on the blog journey, in hopes to share with you our journey.

I am 18 weeks along and starting to feel some questionable kicks.  At first I thought I was making it up in my head, but now I think they are pretty legit.  Last weekend I went in to the PT office where we have a real-time ultrasound (used for biofeedback and training abdominal, back and shoulder muscles) and checked on our little "cluster", "sea urchin", or "willy chuck" (depending on who you talk to, and yeah - Willy Chuck is my dad's nickname for the babe - boy or girl he says).  It was so incredible.  To sit there and watch it move, roll on it's side, and then move it's arms, head and legs.  It makes me want to go in and check every week!

This Friday we get to find out if it's a boy or girl.  I'm SO excited, and also kind of nervous at the same time.  I have no preference at all - but am still anxious!

I'll post some pictures.  I haven't taken weekly pics, and didn't start until week 13.  But again, better late than never.

Until next time!
