This is a big week for us! This week we find out if we have a boy or a girl on the way - a precious son or daughter! My heart is so full and I can't WAIT to know what our family dynamic will be :) Nick and I are discussing names and we for sure have a first name for either gender. We are deciding between two middle names for each, and while I wish we could have it all decided by today, I would rather us both really love it before he/she is named. SO, I'll be able to update later with our name and continue to update about the baby using his her name for the rest of the pregnancy - how very exciting.
This week:
-I felt the baby move a lot this week, on both sides of my stomach. Mostly on the left which is interesting because I've always heard the heartbeat on the right.
-Can hear the heartbeat on the doppler without "searching". I love hearing that beautiful sound!
- I've felt pretty sick this week. Lots of nausea and dry-heaving and major sensitivity to smells. I've been craving plain jane pepperoni and cheese pizza and have found that peppermints help the nausea.
- Had a stranger (an odd one) tell me it's a girl because I'm carrying low. I'm carrying a whole lot higher than I carried Adrian so I thought that was weird. Hmm.
- Have been getting dizzy a lot and blacked out on Sunday. I plan on asking the Dr. about that tomorrow.
Update:
He's a BOY!!!
Our ultrasound was great - it was so fun to get a non-medical ultrasound because we could ask to see whatever we wanted. We are calling this little one Owen! At this point, we're still discussing middle names, but hopefully we know soon.
We are very excited!!
I love this boy already!!!
