It's a BOY!

We are officially having a baby boy! I still can't believe it because I had convinced myself it would be a girl. Ryan and I went to the doctor on Friday and I knew it was a boy before the tech even said anything. I practically screamed, "It's a boy!" And of course Ryan just sat back and said, "I told ya so." He always HAS to be right. We are both so excited and can't wait to meet our little guy. We love him all ready! They even moved the due date up by a couple days. So end of September/ early October we will meet our baby boy. 

The ultrasound was so much fun. We got to look at all our baby's parts for about 30 minutes. He was so cute kicking his LONG legs and having the hiccups. The tech said that his legs are 30% longer than most babies at 20 weeks so he is definitely Ryan's boy. The only thing that isn't "normal" is they saw a black hole which they think is his gallbladder but they don't usually see that on an ultrasound so they aren't completely sure what it is. They told us not to worry and that it isn't anything serious. I sure hope it stays in the not serious category. They will check up on it at about 32 weeks just to make sure. Other than that baby boy is healthy and happy wiggling around in my belly. I love feeling him move and I feel him all the time now. I even saw my belly move when he kicked the other morning. His movements are full on kicks now and not just flutters. Makes sense with his extra long legs! Well here are some pictures of our boy!

This is the "It's a boy" pic. His little boy part may look strange but it is just the cord. He is perfectly normal :) 

The tech tried so hard to get us a good 3D pic but he was so wiggly she had to chase him around which distorted the picture. But this one is pretty good. His little hand touching his face is so adorable. I love it. 


And here is our baby's face. A little like a skeleton but I can tell he is cute! 

Ryan was my waiting buddy. We were there for over an hour! And waited lots.  He was a champ and loved seeing our baby. He asked the tech so many questions about him the entire ultrasound. He is thrilled to have a son! 

Finally, here I am at 20 weeks! I love being pregnant and looking pregnant. Its getting harder to find things to wear so I may need to buy some maternity clothes soon. I can't help but touch my belly all the time! Is that normal? I still can't believe I am actually prego and that I have a baby boy in there. I am looking forward to the next 20 weeks! Half way there until we get to meet our boy!

Weeks 18 and 19

18 Weeks. 
People are starting to notice I'm pregnant now and not just fat! 



19 Weeks
This has been the best week so far because Ryan felt the baby move! I have been able to feel baby from the outside for about a week but every time I tried to get Ryan to feel the baby would stop. But last night Ryan was able to feel baby because this child was going crazy! I loved it because now Ryan can be a part of this pregnancy now too. It is starting to keep me up at night. I am having a harder time going to sleep and I can't make myself sleep in which is so unusual for me. I take naps to make up for it though. Ryan and I are counting down the days a until Friday (4 days!) Because then we will know what baby is. We both want a boy but these are our predictions. 
Ryan: Boy
Me: Girl
I guess we will just have to wait and see. I also can't wait to see how big and different baby looks from our first ultrasound. It will actually be a baby this time instead of a pill big. We are so excited! The big announcement will be posted soon! 


Quilt for Baby

I made my very first quilt just for baby. It is a simple strip/tie quilt so it was pretty easy. It is made out of flannel and has batting inside to make it extra cozy. I can't wait to wrap my little one up in it. 
I am even thinking about making another one once I know what baby is so it doesn't have to be gender neutral.
