25 weeks and 4 days…

oh my, I haven’t posted in a while…

Let’s see, what’s new:

I went for a second ultrasound at 19 weeks and waited patiently while the technician was taking all the data they needed – she said that she would take the measurements and get my husband at the end so we could both see the baby… So after 30-45 minutes of awkwardness – I always feel like I should breath more carefully when they do ultrasounds to avoid moving the “reader thingy” and making it difficult for the technician… but after 45 minutes I was getting impatient and light headed… Anyways, she goes:

“This is your bladder – it’s full!”

yeah ok, very interesting… what about the friggin baby? please!?

“And this is the baby… head…arm…leg…other leg…… other arm… OK?”

um, ok…

Then she proceeded to take the “reader thing” off my belly and started wiping it… wait a minute she didn’t tell me if it was a boy or a girl!!!

“um.. excuse me… um… did you get a chance to see if it was a boy or a girl?”

“oh you wanted to know”

I’m thinking – that’s the only reason why I’m here really – duh!

She huffed and puffed a little and put the thing back on my belly, and shows me the ‘area’ and says… “I think it’s a boy.”

hmmm…. a boy…

Somehow I felt like it was a boy all along, I wanted a girl real bad, but it didn’t feel like a girl in there. I’m sure there is no way for me to be able to tell and I’m probably imagining things… but the connection I thought I would have with my baby should it have been a girl, it felt like I didn’t have that kind of a connection with the little person in my belly. I was slightly disappointed at first, I have to admit.

But… the idea of having a boy is growing on me.  I just have to find a perfect name now – husband and I had a perfect name picked out for a girl, but none for a boy… Is it me or is it more difficult to find a good name for a boy?

I won’t reveal what the name will be until he is born though, just in case… and also you never know – it could end up being a girl!

I have gained a good 40 lbs so far. That doesn’t sit right with me right now. but that’s another story altogether…
