The Results are In...

It's a BOY!!!! Congrats to all of you that guessed correctly.





The sonogram went really well. She gave us a lot of info that we didn't get with Madi's sonogram, it was really cool! He weighs 9 oz. and by the size of his head, femur bone, and stomach he is right on with the due date. He had fluid in the stomach and lungs which means he is swallowing and breathing correctly. Kidneys looked good, he had all 3 veins in the umbilical cord, heart was beating good and looked good. He is laying length wise in my belly and was pretty active during the sonogram. I am so glad we had this scheduled for today because I have been having some cramping the last four days and I haven't felt any movement yet, so I was getting a little nervous. But everything was perfect.

I didn't get much response but a small smile from Chris after the sonogram. I know he is excited but we really didn't care boy or girl. Just happy to know that everything is going well so far. Madi was going to go with us but she was little pill this morning and didn't want to leave the house or do anything I wanted her to do. Typical Madi these days, she is such a toddler right now. But she was pretty excited to see the pictures and kept pointing out the head to everyone. I told her tell my mom what we were having and she said "it's a girl!" But she got it right when she told dad and said she is having a little brother!



We also got a cd with our pictures on it which is so cool. Otherwise all they give you are x-ray pictures and their hard to look at. At 24-25 weeks we can go back and get a gender check sonogram done and get a more definite guess as to the sex, but she was pretty certain it's a boy.

Thanks for taking part in my poll!! Have a great rest of the week.
Love, Amy

Take the Poll!!

Quick poll question for everyone. I know I should have done this a week ago, but didn't think about it until this afternoon. So, 24 hours to vote. My sonogram is at 9:00 in the morning and since I am not good with secrets, I may make it until 2:00 when the poll closes!! Tabatha did this with their baby who is coming within the week!! I thought it was pretty cool, so here it is...(and mom, you can only vote once!! Telling your secret, hehe!!)

Week 16

I had my monthly checkup this morning. Everything is going great. I didn't gain any weight this last month, yeah!! My blood pressure is good 121/70. The baby's heartbeat was 150. I had some blood drawn for the down syndrome test and scheduled an ultrasound for the 29th!! I should be far enough along to find out what we are having. Very excited. Madi has been asking what is our baby's name? So hopefully we can get that figured out soon. I've been feeling so much better lately. Not as much nausea so that is great! I am having trouble sleeping at night, just can't get comfortable, not that that is going to get any better anytime soon :)!

I took Madi to the doctor Monday to see if they could help me with her not pooping. The doctor put her on Miralax, a gentle laxative. It's supposed to soften the stool and make her go more often. It worked really well Monday night and she finally pooped. She was feeling better and I was feeling better. Had some trouble again yesterday and she finally pooped again this morning. Still pretty hard so I have some playing room with the dosage of Miralax. It's just going to take some time to get it and her regulated. She is such a bear when she is not feeling good, so I am hoping we can get this under control and get a potty routine down. Otherwise, her potting is going good. She is starting to tell me she has to go potty and then says "I'll do it by myself." Cool!!

Chris is hoping to get his wood working tools moved out to the house. So far the weather hasn't been very cooperative and it doesn't look good for the weekend either. We are also wanting to get our garden going. Besides the onions, everything else has to be in the ground by the end of May. We have a little time to work around the weather.

Here are some pics from yesterday. We went out to play with her new bubble gun from Uncle Jason and Aunt Tabatha. She absolutely loved it and we went through the whole bottle of bubbles. Half of it got spilled, but she still had a lot of fun!!


Have a great rest of the week!!
Love, Amy
