It's a BOY!

We had the Ultrasound appointment today where they checked all body parts and measured everything. 

A very healthy baby BOY!  Joe and I are very excited and weren't suprised at all as we both thought we would have a boy.  Boys run in Joe's family so it was very likely.  We are pretty sure we are going to stick with Cameron Louis, we love that name  :)  It was fun to see his spine, feets, hands and seeing how energetic he is.  I hope he has Joe's ambitions and be full of energy and intelligence just like daddy and than have mommies giving nature and good logic.  hehe.  I know he will be perfect!

About half way there...wow!

How far along? 18 weeks and 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: Approx. +8 pounds. I will be weighed on Monday.

Maternity clothes? I got a whole bag of maternity clothes from a friend at work and she is my exact size so I feel so lucky and blessed.  What a great friend! :)

Sleep: I got good sleep this week. Been going to bed by 9pm. hehe.

Best moment this week: I got employee of the month at my work and my gift was a giftcard to Babys R Us. I was so excited - babies first gift because of mommas hard work. :)

Belly Button in or out? It's still in inny, but I can tell it's starting to come out a little bit

What I miss: Being able to walk at a normal pace, I feel I walk slower now and it's kind of annoying and hard to get used to.  I used to be such a fast walker when I go run errands or something.

Milestones: Being at the half way point. I can't believe how fast time has flown by.  Oh! and telling people I am not that big.  I had someone tell me the other day that I seemed bigger than 18 weeks and I must be having twins. I shut her up by saying I am 5'3" and was 115 pounds before I got pregnant of course my tummy sticks out a lot. lol.
