WE ARE HAVING A ............................

Well yesterday, Saturday, May 12, we all gathered together as a family (proud Mom and Dad to be, Nana and Pa, Hampy and Am, Uncle Chris, Auntie Kim, Uncle Jimmy, Zachary, Uncle Adam and Auntie Maricar) to find out the sex of the baby.  We went to the Chateau in Norwood, MA and had dinner.  Everyone was sooooo excited and could hardly wait till dessert time. At 8:10 we all bit into our cupcakes and had the chance to see if it was a boy or girl.  As soon as we took that first bite and pulled away I knew that the frosting color was going to be blue.  Once we saw the color we all yelled, " I knew it!!!"   My gut instinct kept telling me boy all along and then knowing how many boys we hve on both sides of the family, I just knew it was going to be a boy.  I am so excited and overjoyed by the fact that our baby is growing in to a strong boy!!! I can't wait to agree on a name and start getting the room ready for the baby boy that will be joining our family.  I found myself using the term, son and saying we are going to have a son.  I'm sooooo in love and excited to know that I am going to be a mommy to a son!

Week 18 update

How far along? 18 weeks, 2 days
Maternity clothes? Yes, and i'm not concern about it...I love how comfortable I am with them on.
Stretch marks? Nothing new
Sleep: I am still having a hard time staying awake between 7-9pm. John is having a hard time with my falling asleep and feels like he has a roommate, rather than a wife. ;-(
Best moment this week: Realizing that I was only 1 week away from seeing our baby on screen again!
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my back and taking bendryl to sleep
Movement: I can't tell if it is the baby, gas bubbles, or just random shifting of my organs. Either way, I love thinking that it could be the baby down there.
Food cravings: I ate two boxes of fruity pebbles in the past 2 weeks.  I am also enjoying garlic bagels with chive cream cheese.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Knock on wood, I haven't been sick one day yet. However, adversion to food is happening almost daily.
Have you started to show yet: No, but when looking at my body naked, I look a little less flabby and more of a belly. I look "more pregnant" at night.
Gender: too early to know, but will find out on Saturday!!!!
Labour Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pure happiness!! I can't wait to see if my gut feeling of having a boy is true!!!
