Thumper

Boy! (Tee Hee) This little guy sure likes to kick. I do not remember Daniel beating me as much as this little guy. I have taken to calling him Thumper.

It was kind of weird finding out the sex. I thought I might be disappointed if it was a boy. We were so sure he was a girl. When the tech told us "It's a boy!" I laughed and said "wow, we thought it was a girl." He replied, "Sorry I can't change that for you." I told him that we're happy just surprised. As long as we are healthy. And it's true. Just knowing the sex made the baby more real. And that has made me more excited about this little guy.

When I got home from the ultrasound I sorted all the baby clothes and ended up giving the pink stuff to the neighbour. For all you curious about the plans for our family, we decided long ago that no matter what the sexes two children would be plenty.

Is it possible to have too much sweetness? Just one more please :D


This is my belly at 19 weeks (yes, I am one week behind on the pics. My belly isn't that big yet.)

It's a Boy

Well, all of our predictions were wrong. No pink frills in my future.

I did have a dream this morning that we were late for our appointment and in our rush a pregnant friend of mine was giving birth in the back seat of our car. She ended up having twin boys. Which were the size Daniel is now and running around. Toddler sized newborns. What strange dreams pregnancy brings. Perhaps my dream was telling me that I'm carrying a boy.

And a hyper boy at that. I have been feeling him move around for quite a few weeks now. He also thumped when my ob/gyn was checking out his heart rate. And he kept moving around when the ultrasound tech was trying to get a look at him. And he just kick me right now.

Here are some of his modeling shots from today:




I did tell Aaron and my mom that if we had another boy one of them would be wearing girly stuff!!
