It's a Boy!

At 18 weeks along I went in for routine Dr's appointment to just listen to the heartheart, pee, and weigh in. I was going to cancel my appointment and just come back 2 weeks later so I could find out the sex of the baby, but decided to just go ahead and go in. Kyle was able to make it to the appt and so I got talking with the Dr about how I have been feeling. I told him that for being so early, I was having TONS of pressure "down below". We decided to have him do a pelvic exam to check. While doing this he was shoked as he could feel the baby's head right there!!!! So wanted me to schedule an ultrasound ASAP to make sure I wasn't effacing and dilating.

So I ended up with an ultrasound the next morning....2 weeks earlier than planned but with a little fear behind it. We went in the next day and measured everything and found out it was a BOY!!!!! Hip Hip Horay! I think Kyle actually jumped up and down in the room with excitement. We did find out that the baby is head down and in birthing position already. The Dr. is still concerned and said we will just keep a close eye on me and I might earn bed rest towards the end. I was relieved to know that for now, everything is okay. Except for me! haha jk. I have constant pressure below and I feel like all my insides are falling out. I have horible vericous veins that hurt all day long, and sometimes I swear this child is trying to make it's entrance.

It doesn't help that this month of December has been CRAZY!!!! We went to Mexico 2 days after Thanksgiving, then we came home and closed on our house on December 14th, and moved in starting the 17th! I tried to be good and not do too much bit I haven't stopped since then. I did most of the packing of the house since Kyle was working and his father helped me lift everything. We were in by Christmas and are still trying to organize all of our stuff! I'm exhausted to say the least, but it's so exciting as well!
