So baby is getting bigger and I can definitely feel it wiggling around. Sometimes I get a kick or punch and I love being able to feel him more and more as the weeks go by. The baby is about the size of a grapefruit or mango now... he is growing so fast!
So this Monday I went in to get a precautionary ultrasound for some symptoms I had over the weekend that turned out to be nothing. Better safe than sorry, so I went in to make sure all was well, and it is. Jeremy and I were going to go in together (and still are) on Monday April 8th to have the mid-pregnancy screening and ultrasound done, and that was the time we thought we would find out if we were having a girl or a boy. When I went in on Monday, I told my doctor that I wanted to try not to find out until then, but as soon as he put the roller on my belly, the baby was positioned just so, and it was very obvious we were having a little boy. So I feel bad that Jeremy was not there that at that time, but I think this coming Monday will still be very special because he has gotten so big! You can see so many details now compared to a month ago. It really is amazing how fast they grow in this period of 40 weeks.
We have a few names picked out, and have plenty of time to decide, but right now we really like William. We'll see if that sticks. Someone said that we may want to wait and see the little guy first and see if that is fitting, so that is a possibility.
Here is a pic my mom took this morning. My shirt is a bit flowy and baggy, I really do look much bigger than this, especially in form-fitting clothes.
Ultrasound pics to come soon!
Love you all,
Vanessa
