I am going on 18 weeks and I feel (physically) great! Emotionally, well, that is another story. If you read the latter post you would know why. Needless to say, I am progressing in my pregnancy and moving right along. Trey and I were able to find out what the sex of our baby was last Tuesday, the 22nd. We are having a BOY! Well, at least our friend, Denise told us she was 80% sure. She has been a blessing and has given us two ultrasounds since being pregnant. I love her! My husband was 100% convinced it was a boy because he said he saw, "the turtle." I, on the other hand, was like I don't see anything, I "thought" I did but I was holding out hope that I was looking at a "cheeseburger" and not a "turtle." I have been very open about wanting a girl and I don't regret it one bit. I think it is rather cliche to say, "I want a healthy baby." My response when people say that is, "Ummm no duh, doesn't everybody? Now, tell me what you really want- a boy or girl?" That's what people really want to know. Why do you think they ask?
Anyways, it has finally kicked in that we are having a boy and I'm thrilled! My girlfriend told me just give it 24 hrs. Ha! I needed a little longer. LOL. Even my niece was having trouble comprehending that this baby is a boy and not a girl! Apparently, I wasn't the only one who wanted a little girl. Maybe next try, Makinley.
I will post a belly pic soon. I promise. I really haven't had the motivation. My husband and I have been consumed with a lot lately and I just look forward to getting jobs so that I can start enjoying the rest of this pregnancy and all the planning that goes along with it!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. They are much needed and greatly appreciated!
