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

Friday I had an appt for the antomy ultrasound. We've been really excited about knowing what we are having so there was no question whether we wanted to find out or not. We went in, I laid down and first thing the tech said was "the legs are crossed." I seriously wanted to say Are you kidding me!! Every u/s we've had the baby has been very active moving around and if I would've been far enough along we definitely could've seen if it was boy or girl.

She reassured me that she wasn't giving up and she would keep checking. We ended being in there for about 30 min. as she was checking the arms, legs, heart, kidneys, etc. to make sure everything was how it was supposed to be. Of course every time she checked back with the legs....still crossed! The baby didn't move at all during the ultrasound! She wasn't even able to get a 4D picture because it was head down and on my left side, the monkey just was not cooperating. Afterwards Brandon told me he was kind of glad we couldn't find out because he was really nervous and just knew she was gonna say It's a girl! Just because he's wanting a boy so bad. Surprisingly I wasn't nervous at all, just anxious and excited.

So....we still don't know what we're having and to be honest, I NEVER thought this would happen to us. I really thought we would go in there and have no trouble finding out. I am definitely a little frustrated but also just laugh about it sometimes knowing that are child already has a stubborn side.

On a positive note, the heartbeat was 137 which the tech said was perfect and weighing in at 10 oz. When I saw my doctor afterwards he said everything looks great with me and the baby, oh and I've only gained 1 pound the entire pregnancy!

My next appt I have the dreaded glucose test, although I'm not real worried about it. I just really want to pass the first test so I don't have to get my blood drawn 3 times in 1 day at the next one...ouch! I won't have my next ultrasound until 30 or 32 weeks (I can't remember which) so hopefully then we'll be able to tell what the little monkey is.

19 Weeks

I'm 19 weeks now...I can't believe I'm almost halfway already! I've been feeling pretty good and can feel the baby move everyday. That's such an amazing feeling! We go back Friday to find out whether the little monkey is a Prince or Princess....I can't wait!!

Here's the latest pic of my bump at 18 weeks 4 days.

Brothers

Yesterday while at Wal-Mart Brandon decided to buy the movie "Brothers." We watched it last night and I can't say it's one of my favorites. It was good but I was really disappointed in how it ended. There was no conclusion in my opinion, it just stopped suddenly. Maybe there will be a "2" come out but for now I'd only give this about a 3.75 out of 5. :)

My new love

Subway Salads!! Yum! I hadn't ever tried one and today I thought one sounded good. I got chicken breast, with tomatoes, cucumbers and Ranch.....so good! I think I'll get a salad from now on, even though they're a little more expensive. Just had to let that out. ;) Hope you're all having a good day!

7 Months

Today is our 7 month "anniversary." I can't believe we've been married that long already. Time really does go so fast. I remember our wedding day like it was yesterday, the good and the bad. Lately I've been wishing we would've done a first look before the ceremony so we could've had that special time just the two of us without anyone else around because it seems like we didn't get any one on one time at all that day until we went home after the reception. I think we fell into the trap of doing what our family wanted us to do rather than what we wanted to do. Oh well. ;)

Here's one of my favorite moments from the day....yes even though he smashed cake in my face.

Twilight

I have been hearing everyone talk about the new Twilight books & movies yet have never had any interest to read it or watch it. I was at my aunt's house Saturday night and she suggested we watch the 1st one. She really likes it so she thought I would to....I'm always up for a good chick flick so I didn't mind checking it out. It was definitely not what I expected....I really liked it! Now I don't think I'll be going and buying it or checking out the books but if she buys the 2nd one I'll definitely watch it too. I now know what everyone's big interest is about. :)

15 Weeks

I'm 15 weeks now! I've been feeing good and haven't been having stretching pains as bad lately. I had a sonogram last Friday and we think it's a boy. The lady wouldn't tell us for sure because she said it's still a little early but I'm planning a monkey nursery instead of ladybug now. We go back in 4 weeks to find out gender for sure! I can't wait!
