It's a......

We got back from our cruise on Christmas Eve and spent Christmas day with my family!

We went back to the Doctor on January 10th to find out the gender of the baby. I was super nervous that the baby wouldn't cooperate and we would have to wait and find out later. The baby did cooperate very well though! The heart beat was 158 beats per minute and that was normal for them to slow down. Mike and Teresa went with us for the ultrasound. The tech let us hear the heart beat and then when she switched over to the view of the baby she knew immediately what it was! It was amazing how fast she knew! She asked if we wanted to know or to just have her write it down. We said we wanted to know and she said.....

IT'S A BOY!!!

There are lots of pictures and they all look the same to me. The view is as if you were look up though a toilet sit and you can see his bottom and legs then his boy part.

This is his heartbeat.

 

This picture he is laying on his belly and you can see his head and spine and knees/legs.

I asked the Nurse who weighs me every time how I was doing cause they never say anything about it. She said I lost 3 lbs. the beginning of my 1st trimester. By Dec 8th I had gained it back plus 3 more. Then on January 10th I weighed the same so my total weight gain so far as been 3 lbs. I was pretty excited to know I didn't gain anything on the cruise or at Christmas!

After the Ultrasound we went to Babies R Us to look around cause Zane hadn't been in there yet. We found a nursery bedding we really liked and it was being discontinued to it was clearance way down! :) So we bought it and have been finding all the parts they didn't have at the store at other stores so it is coming along. It is called Nali Jungle from Cocalo for those of you who want to look it up and see it. I will post pictures but that will be a while. Now we have to clean out the room, paint, buy baby furniture and then we can put it up! :) So for now it is in the bag in the guest room of our house!

Here is the other belly picture I said I would post.

I am 17 weeks and 6 days.

Zane felt left out so he had his picture made too!
