Baby Update

Today I had my first ultrasound. They told me I was 14 weeks and 4 days along! That means my new due date is Christmas Eve! This should be an interesting Christmas! I asked the nurse to try and see what I'm having, even though I knew it was too early to really tell. She finally got the baby to uncross it's legs and said, "well, from the look of this, it looks like it might be another boy." Surprise! Now, that doesn't mean it is for sure a boy, but I'm counting on it. I laughed the whole way home thinking about it. I know it's not for sure, but seriously, we just don't make girls. I already feel so out numbered at home, and it's only going to get crazier. I love my little boys and I can't wait to have that baby boy in my arms! I will admit, I am a little bummed that I my girl may never come. But we will see. Rich is still hopeful that it is a girl, but I'm just telling myself it's a boy. Anyway, it was so fun to see the baby move. He waved his little hand and his measurements looked great. That made me happy and it always seems more real when you get an ultrasound. My sickness is starting to get so much better! I am starting to eat more and be disgusted by less food; but I can't say I'm totally back to normal yet. Can't wait for that cause I love food (normally)! Here are the pictures I got back. This baby has a Jonah tummy! I love it!!! I am that much more excited now!

P.s. Julien's birthday post is coming soon; I'm waiting on some pictures from my dad first.

  1. Just so you know, I found out that both Charlie and Luke were boys at their 14 or 15 week ultrasounds, so YES they can tell that early and chances are... it is a boy!

  4. Vanessa, I have to say that I really admire and give you major props for the positive attitude that you are trying to have about the gender of the baby and the possibility of him/her being another boy. I know a lot of my friends had a really hard time with that but, you are such a trooper! I think you need to just keep trying until you have a girl:). I wonder how many kiddos it would take?? :). I LOVE the ultrasound pics by the way. Your baby looks so big already and so perfect! Congrats!!

  5. Oh but you sure make the CUTEST boys!! Part of me is a little sad I'm not having another just for the convenience of it all! Well, I guess you never know, that could have been the umbilical cord between it's legs!! haha

  6. So Amazing!!! I hope everything continues to go well with your pregnancy. When we went to find out the sex of Kellen, the Dr. didn't even need to say anything, you could see everything! and I was like, "It's a boy, see right there." So so obvious. So when they say boy, chances are they mean it. But you know my mom had 3 boys then she got 2 girls, then another boy and then me. So hang in there your next 2 will be girls, 16 months apart, J/K
    It will be great!
