It's a.....

BOY!!

We are thrilled!! (Of course boy or girl, we would be thrilled)I have already found the colors I want for the nursery. It was so fun going to Target the other day and looking at boy cloths. It is feeling so real now! We have a few boy names we like, which is good because we didn't have any girl names. I will let you know which ones I still like in a few months. I have just started feeling him kick in the last two weeks or so. More and more everyday. Right now it just feels like really big bubbles. Kinda strange, but amazing. I am excited about some of the projects I want to start. Those projects won't start until we have moved out of this apartment and I am living at Jeff's mom's in January though. The next three weeks will consist of a lot of packing. I am trying to be extremely organized in packing this time since when it is time to unpack I will be 8 months prego! Also I have to pack everything except what I am taking to with me to Jeff's mom's house and what Jeff is taking with him to Maryland. The plan is, Jeff will move to Maryland the end of December to live with a friend while doing his preceptorship with a doctor out their until the beginning of March. During that time I will stay here, living with Jeff's mom (thank you Ron and Linda!!) so I can continue working. Jeff will then graduate March 9th!! Yea!! Part of me can't believe it is finally happening, the other part of me says, "It's about time, it's been a LONG journey!" Jeff has and still is working so hard. He is going to make an extraordinary Doctor! I am so proud of him. I know when he was in high school a lot of people probably didn't expect that he could achieve such a high goal, but look at him now, a Doctor! Four years of sweat, tears, and sleepless nights have paid off. Anyway, after he graduates, if all goes well with the Doctor in Maryland that he is preceptoring for, we will move out their right after graduation and he will start working with this Doctor. A month later, our baby boy will join our family! Wow, so much happening in so little time. I try not to think about it too much. I try to just think about how amazing it is going to be having OUR little baby boy in our arms!

 

Here he is at 19 wks. His face looks a little funny here, but I love this one because you can see his cute little belly and toes and he has his arm up by his face. When the technician was trying to get a profile picture of his face, she had a hard time because he kept both his arms covering his face. He was being a little stubborn, taking after his father I guess.

Pretty much everyone at work now knows and they are all so excited for me. Except maybe my manager. :) It has been hard working full time. My body hates me by the time the work day is over. My hips are in constant pain and bending over and getting up and down off the floor a million times a day doesn't help. I love my job and it was challenging enough with out being pregnant. 

I am now 21 weeks and can't believe I'm already half-way
