24 weeks and counting

Okay...so I decided it was time to post a pregnancy picture. I go back and forth about showing the bump because I am not sure if it will really look like a bump as I have always been a big girl. However, with that being said I lost 10 pounds for my first Trimester and I have gained about 5 pounds back since being in the 2nd Trimester.

I wish I could say that I love 2nd Trimester...and yes it is better than first as I don't throw up...but I still feel like throwing up...so still not my favorite. My husband would be happy to tell you my crazy emotional stories. I am starting the pregnancy brain which is even worse than my absent mind I had before this.

The baby is kicking up a storm and if I wake up at 2 am because I am hungry the baby will continue to kick until I feed it. I think it has Alexander's energy, so heaven help us.

If you are wondering if it's a boy or girl....SO ARE WE!

Here comes the Story....

12/19/2011 We go in for our ultrasound and have the tech write the sex down. Christmas morning we open up and surprise we are having a GIRL with a high placenta.

12/30/2011 We go back to the Dr. for an ultrasound as some measurements are needed. The tech here's us calling the baby a girl and says "so you know it's a BOY...right?" (low placenta). Shocked and surprised we don't know what to think...Needless to say we are going back for a 3rd ultrasound to find out what is going on.

We were suppose to find out last Tuesday but family emergency took the Dr. away...so we rescheduled and we should know by Tuesday.

So...we will let you know when we do. Either way we are excited and looking forward to life with a baby. Even Alexander has offered his room to the new little one in our life. He is going to be a great big brother, and he practices with cousins Luke and Jonah...so he's ready. Daddy is looking forward to having a baby and not doing it alone this time. Mommy is just excited...well...for everything!
