Drum roll, please....

So, we had the second ultrasound appointment on Friday. The conclusion I came to in whether or not to find out was if the baby wanted us to know, then it would be positioned in a way that we could find out. So....it's a boy! We didn't get a good money shot, but we're pretty sure. The technician pointed out his little peepee to us, but we didn't get a good picture of it. The baby wasn't cooperating and kept his legs closed when we tried. Apparently, you don't have to drink a lot of water anymore when you get your ultrasound. I drank a ton of water, and I think it made it harder see the baby. The ultrasound pictures aren't as clear as I thought they would be. I haven't gotten a chance to scan them on the computer, yet, but will put them up as soon as I do. Now it's just time to think of a name...

My stomach is definitely showing now, too. I swear, it is bigger every morning I wake up. I went out and got pregnancy friendly clothes. I haven't gotten any pants, yet, but I got a few shirts that I am pretty sure I should be able to wear through most of my pregnancy. I got a couple of dresses, too. Nothing to moo-mooish, yet, but I'm sure those will come at the end. For now just 2 dresses that should fit my belly, but are still cute.

The baby's kicks are definitely getting harder, too. Nothing painful, but definitely much stronger. Josh still hasn't gotten a chance to feel it, yet. I swear, when he's not around, the baby kicks like he's kicking a soccer ball, but when Josh is around, he sleeps or just kind of flips around to where you can't really feel him.

It's crazy to believe that there is actually a baby in my stomach... When we were at the ultrasound, you could see his arms and legs moving around. He's so big now that his whole body didn't fit in one shot like the first picture. I can't even imagine the next one.

Pick out a girl's name just in case. Remember what happened to your dad and me when Andrew was born. The doctor said what's his name and we couldn't reply, Alexandria. I mailed you something today so watch for it. Glad things are going well. CAn't wait to see the little critter for myself. Love Mom

Hey Margit, where did Cole come from? Old king Cole was a merry old soul? Actually I like it too and I agree Margit is a cool name. Let's see, Margit Cole Lewis. What do you think? MOM
