We had our second official ultrasound last week, and we are happy to announce...

j It's a BOY!!! j

We are SO EXCITED! Cameron has known it was a boy from the beginning, but it took me by suprise. It's so exciting though, it definitely makes it feel more real knowing the gender already. It's not as abstract as it used to be, I think.

We weren't actually supposed to have our ultrasound for another month, but Dr. Erickson just snuck us in real fast to do a "sex check". So, we'll probably have more pictures next month -he said that's when they'll be checking all the fingers and toes and everything, basically just making sure everything's all there and working correctly. Until then, here are some pictures of our little boy!!

You can see his little face here - it looks a litle like a turtle because it doesn't show his nose, but other than that we think he's pretty handsome!

A side view - if you look close you can see his spine! On the big screen you could see all of his vertebrae, it was awesome.
DEFINITELY a boy. Here's your proof if you don't believe us. :)

It was amazing how much his little legs were moving during this shot, he almost never stops squirming!

4 months and counting...

Well, it's been a while since I've posted (yet again...), so I thought I'd give everyone a quick update. I'll be four months along on Monday!! I'm so excited. Everything's been going wonderfully these past few weeks. I'm completely over the whole morning-sickness thing, so the only problems I'm having to deal with is back pain and heartburn. That isn't as big a deal for me though, because I've pretty much had to deal with those my whole life, it's just a little more intense than usual. I would much rather have a sore back than be throwing up.

So, I've gotten my appetite back, and I'm finally starting to gain some weight! I've really started to poke out in this last week. We don't have any pictures yet, but I'll post some as soon as we remember to take them. :) We got to feel the baby move last night too, we were so excited! So far the only times I've felt it was late at night when I'm laying flat on my stomach. It's only happened a few times, but It's so amazing. I can't wait for the baby to get bigger so I can feel it more, it's such a comfort feeling him/her in there, knowing everything's still okay. I love being pregnant... right now, at least. I might not have said the same thing a few months ago. :)

I have my next doctor's appointment on Tuesday, wish us luck!
