Boy or Girl?

Boy or Girl?
We are just not sure. 
We didn't want to know. 
There are so few surprises in this world. 
(Plus it's fun to drive everyone crazy)
And there is nothing like meeting your little boy or girl for the first time and being able to hold, kiss, and snuggle the dickens out of them. It's kind of amazing.


We do know,

  • We have a healthy baby. 10 fingers, and 10 toes. Everything in working order.
  • That this sweet child in stubborn. We were in the ultrasound for almost an hour and he/she slept almost the entire time. With he/she's little back towards the screen. We weren't able to get a great profile view, but I love the one we got.
  • I have gained 15 lbs now. Which is not too bad for my pregnancy history. Most of it being water which makes me feel like I am related to the Michelin Man

  • Pregnancy is hard. And even more difficult that I don't remember it being this hard the first 2 times. This time around if it is pregnancy symptom I have it. Bloody nose's, crappy digestion (nice pun huh), swelling, and fatigue to name a few. I am slightly miserable.
  • We are blessed. There is nothing like seeing my sweet baby's heart beating. Seeing their little ears, nose, and hands. To see this sweet life on a screen in front of me and to hug and kiss my sweet Jack and Lucy reminds me that I am the luckiest lady in the world to be there mommy.
  • Everything I am going through is worth it.
