Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll! But my need to plan would have overruled the results anyway. The hubby and I went for our morphology ultrasound and, although my bladder was not full enough, the wonderful technician worked her magic and found our baby’s boy parts. No, that is not a third leg. I must admit, I felt a little relieved at the news. Which made me realize that I was hoping for a boy, even though any time someone asked me what we wanted I always answered enthusiastically with “I would be happy with either!”
This ultrasound appointment, the news that its a boy, and my growing & active uterus definitely confronted me with the reality that if everything goes as it should, I am supposed to pop a baby out of me in 20 weeks. What the F, how did this happen? This is no longer a figment of my imagination! I am an emotional person without being pregnant, add the pregnancy hormones and look out, water works every other day (or every day really, lets be honest). What I have found is that talking about it to a VERY supportive husband (xoxo), my family and friends who have been through this before, makes me feel that I can do this and that it is normal to feel overwhelmed and out of control. My new goal is to not freak out and cry, but to think of how much joy a new baby will bring. And that I am now 1/2 way there 🙂
So we are having a boy. We have a growing list of boys names that was actually started pre-pregnancy, but before we pick a name we need to get the nursery and all other baby paraphenalia under control. Welcome to my next obsession.
So happy for you guys! Go team blue! (seems to be a lot of that going around over there!) Reminds me of our conversation at the xmas party 😀
LOVE the idea for the blog and LOVE the blog name.
Daily preggo crying is par for the course. Every emotion will bring on the waterworks, good or bad.
Enjoy the preparations (i.e. your new obsession); it’s one of the many joys of pregnancy!
