It's a BOY!

Well we are officially PREGNANT! I am currently 20 weeks and we just found out we are expecting a baby boy! To say we are thrilled is an understatement who knew we would even be blessed with a child. Here is a re-cap of the last four months:

November 20: Took 4 at home pregnancy tests...all positive (but those suckers are tricky)!
November 29: Confirmed through blood test that I was indeed pregnant.
December 20: First Doctors appt and ultrasound! We measured right on track at 9 weeks. Baby's HR was 161 bpm:)
January 17: Dreaded blood work but everything came back perfect!
February 14: Second Dr's appt - Dr. confirmed everything was right on track
February 21: Second Ultrasound - baby measured exactly 18 weeks and we found out it's a BOY! We saw baby's heart beating, brain, spine, fingers and toes! Such a blessing everything looked great!

Looking back on the first half of the pregnancy:

• Seeing the excitement on our families faces
• Seeing the baby grow through the ultrasounds
• Feeling the baby move
• Watching Chris's face light up when he talks about the baby

DISLIKES

• Not being able to control anything going on with my body
• Feeling exhausted all the time
• Stretching, cramping and nausea
