IT'S A BOY!!
My mom & I went to my ultrasound apt December 23rd to find out the gender. Of course I was soooo tempted to look when the ultrasound tech was looking for it. I turned my head and did not peak at all! So proud of myself! Joey was also working that day so it made it easier to not look because I didn't want to find out and him not know. So the ultrasound tech put the ultrasound pics of the baby into an envelope for my mom. She said baby was definitely ready for us to find out haha.
December 25th (Christmas) We looked at our stockings with the girls and got ready to head over to my parents. I felt like Joey was taking ages to get ready... I was SO ready to leave and find out the gender. Finally, We got to my parents and it was the very 1st gift we opened. We were in Shock... Still am a bit. I pulled out the cute Seahawks onsie my mom bought and thought.. "I better double check" so I looked at the ultrasound. Yup.. definitely a boy!! & Joey's look on his face... priceless :) I've probably watched the video of us finding out at least 10 times. Excited is probably an understatement.
We would've been just as happy with a 3rd girl, but I think having our first boy made it a little bit more exciting. I've always wanted girls. I absolutely love having girls. But the boy will be fun and different :) Joey said he would be happy with all girls, but I think he is over the moon excited to get his boy.
A little update on me:
Right now I am technically high risk pregnancy. I have been for awhile now. So keeping it easy is what I've been trying to do.. but with 2 young kids its almost impossible.
I recently found out I have a pretty scary case of placenta previa. My doctor seems extra worried about it. I'm hoping the next couple weeks it gets better... if not, I guess I'm scheduling my very first c-section. If it was up to me, I wouldn't have one. But if it will save my life and our little boys... I'll do it. But I'm praying for good news. And I will eventually come to terms with it... as of right now; I have not. But I found out on the 23rd when I went in for the gender apt. But baby boy is doing good and growing a week ahead of schedule with is AMAZING with how much weight I've lost & how tiny I am... so I will take that as excellent news.
Alleah has been saying brother since the beginning of the pregnancy ... which I thought was so odd. but the past month or so she's been saying its a baby girl. When we told her it was a baby boy she got pretty mad. She still hasn't come to terms and still convinced its a girl, but she will be excited no matter what I am sure. She loves to rub my belly and ask how baby is doing. Raylee just likes to point to my stomach and say baby. These two are going to be such great big sisters.
I am extremely excited to buy things for our little man and make his nursery of course.... Seahawks... my husbands childhood team. I have to support the husband... its my job right?! haha. I already have the colors and stuff picked out... so I'm excited!
I LOVE feeling him kick!! I felt it around 15 weeks and feel it every day now. It truly is a blessing and the best thing in the world. I absolutely love being pregnant even if this is the hardest pregnancy out of the 3... wouldn't have it any other way :)
We are so blessed & so incredibly happy :)
