I know I haven't been good at blogging lately, but hopefully this makes up for it. As you learned from a previous post, yes I am pregnant. This is me at 21 weeks prego.
THE PREGNANCY:
We found out I was pregnant at a McDonald's bathroom in Boise right before I left town to go to Washington. Very classy, I know. Soon after I started getting sick. I felt very tired, like when you have the flu and you have no energy at all. I felt nauseous all day long and the only relief from that was through eating, so I had to eat all day long, and then most the time I would over eat and that would make me feel sick too! It. Was. Not. Fun. My past pregnancy's were not like this at all. I never got sick besides maybe a little tired and a little stomach ache for a few weeks. but really it wasn't bad. This pregnancy has also been different because my sense of smell has been enhanced and I have been super grumpy and moody. To make a long story short, this pregnancy has been the stereotypical pregnancy that you hear about, cravings, sickness, moodiness, ect, and my other two were a walk in the park compared. Lucky for me the sickness only lasted for 10 weeks, for some it lasts several weeks longer and even the whole pregnancy!! For those of you that go through that, I am sorry.
THE ULTRASOUND DAY:
So now the good part. I am due November 4th, 2010. Today was my Ultrasound. I have felt very strongly the whole pregnancy that I am having a boy. Ask anyone and everyone, I was convinced that I was having a boy, although I would be just as happy with a girl. With my 2 other pregnancy's I never felt strongly one way or the other, I just had high hopes. This time I was sure that I was having a boy.
Here is a nice profile of our cute baby.
During the ultra sound the second guessing started. This is was what going on in my head. ( "It is so a boy!! Just watch, it's going to be a girl. No... It has to be a boy!! That would be crazy if it were a girl...)
Than this came up on the screen. Two thumbs up!! She said she had never seen a baby do two thumbs up, she has seen a baby do a one thumb up but never two.
At this point, there was no doubt we were having a boy. He was telling us "Don't worry, it's all good."
At first the ultra sound lady said she might not be able to get a shot of the gender because of how the baby was positioned. but about 10 minutes later, the baby cooperated.
I knew it! We are having a boy!

Congrats! Your girls will love having a baby brother. You need a little rough & tumble over there in princess land. :)
Oh and the thumbs up is totally hillarious!
I love the two thumbs up! Congratulations on the boy! Now we will have two potential sets of children who could marry!
Love the thumbs! I'm glad you're feeling better too. Boys are a lot of fun...and very different! You'll love it. I was a lot sicker with Mason than with Madelyn, so maybe the different gender had something to do with it for you.
Yay baby boy! So happy for you guys. Glad you're feeling better Ashleigh! I'm going to be in Boise during part of the mancation, let's hang out.
