21 weeks

It's a boy!!!!!!!

Yes, we had my anatomy scan last week @20 weeks, and the prediction @13 weeks was confirmed. As usual, I worried myself silly the night before, but the ultrasound went well and no red flags came up. PHEW. I really should stop reading online horror stories about all the things that could go wrong with the baby. The tech said the baby measured in the 25 percentile, which is just splendid. Troy had a hard time believing it because he was a freaking 10 lbs baby, but hey, this baby is half-Asian after all.

So, after finding out that it's a boy, I hit several baby stores and garage sales... and ended buying NOTHING. Why, you ask. Uhh, because there are about 25 million baby products available and I get SOOO overwhelmed by all the options. Most of the time I have NO idea what the product is even for! Do I need a swing? Bouncy seat? Exersaucer? Pack N Play? Bassinet?? Who the heck knows?!

I'm definitely getting bigger and bigger! My tummy is starting to become a little bit of a hindrance. These days it's been a bit tricky for me to get up from sitting on the floor, carry kids, and have kids on my lap. Coworkers tell me I'm starting to get a cute little bump! But, I still get frequent comments that I don't look pregnant. I told several people this past week and they were all completely shocked. Ummm okay. Troy says its because Minnesotan women all have big guts and now I just look normal. ;)
