BM3
I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to find out what we were having because I had not found out with either one of my girls and it led to an exciting arrival. When we were headed to have our second sonogram I asked Mike what he wanted to do. He had been adament the entire time that it was my decision. I asked him one last time before we went in and he said he would like to know but that it was my decision. He has never asked for much and has done so much to help me get through all of my pregnancies that it was an easy decision to make. We went in and found out that we were going to have a son. You could have knocked us both over with a feather. We were convinced that we were having another girl. We have been blessed with good results on the AFP(alphafetal protein test). It is the one that indicates early signs of Down Syndrome and other birth defects. Tomorrow we will have a visit with Dr. Jennifer Shores and check out his little heart. There is no reason other than it will make me feel better and it will be one more way I can see the little guy. I will have to say that this pregnancy has been very different. I know they all are but with this one, the nausea has been less but the fatigue has lingered. It could be because I am chasing around a toddler. I can't complain because for the most part I am doing great.
I have started to really feel him kicking around and moving more and more. It makes me so happy to have that connection with him knowing that he is in there growing and thriving. :)
I just finished up a lemon sorbet and he is doing the happy dance right now. I am much more relaxed with this pregnancy than I was with Landry but I still carry quite a bit of anxiety. I know that I will until he arrives safe and sound. Now, on to naming him......
