Symptoms:
* leg cramps
* tons of weird dreams
* slight heartburn increase
Cravings:
* lucky charms
I have forgotten to mention in past weeks that I have been having a lot of dreams. It is amazing how vivid they are and how well I remember them after waking up. Most of them don't make any sense to me at all. This week my Mom and Aunt Kim both had dreams about the baby.
I have also noticed a pattern in his movement the last two weeks. He is always moving to the point where I can feel him between 9-10 at night. I am noticing more movement during the day or earlier in the evenings. I am not sure if that is just because he is getting bigger and I am starting to notice it more.
We have decided on a name, but it is going to be a kept a secret from the general public for awhile. Our families and a few close friends will know, but other than that everyone will have to wait until October.
I have a doctor's appointment soon and I am a little nervous. He is going to go over the ultra-sound results. I am sure that if there was a serious problem they would have called us right away, so I don't know why I get myself worked up. Plus it will be interesting to see how much weight I have gained since my last appointment, which was over a month ago!

Pictures
Some of them you may have hard time seeing it. My favoite one is the nose/lips pictures. You sort have to look at with your head tilted to the side as if it was a vertical picture. It just looks so sweet and you can really see his nose. Hope you have fun looking at them!
Boy or Girl?
Yesterday morning was our ultra-sound at the hospital. It is a routine one that they have everyone one do at five months to make sure that everything looks good.
It was at 8:00 in the morning and we had to be there at 7:30. I had to be there with a full bladder, which when you are pregnant it so awful! I was able to do it though!
The ultra-sound was amazing. I watched on tv while I was lying down and Matt stood behind the tech. and watched her screen. It was so amazing to see the little baby that was moving around and kicking me. I don't know how to put into words and I am sure that it will be even more breath taking when the baby is born.
She asked us at the beginning whether we wanted to know what we were having and we told her yes. I thought she might make us wait until the very end, but she didn't!
So, she was looking around and I knew she was looking for it. At first Matt and I both were like oh it is a girl and then we were like...nope that is definitely a boy! So, yes we are having a sweet little baby boy!
Everyone thought we were having a girl. I think only ten people if that thought it was a boy. In the back of my head I thought we were having a boy. Matt was excited as was I. I am going to start crying typing about it right now! He was so cute to watch in the ultra-sound. Just simply beautiful.
We got to see his arms, legs, nose, lips, his heart and the four chambers, kidneys, bladder, the brain, and she checked one more time to see if it was still a boy. To say the least he was very proud of himself!
Watching him move and flip around was so awesome. When he does flip over my stomach gets really hard in that one place. It is really neat. During one the shots we got to see him moving his mouth like he was yawning or drinking in fluid. He also at one point moved his arm like he was waving, saying "hi" to us. So precious. That was so cool to watch! She put it on a cd with other pictures, so we could watch it on the computer.
At the end of the u/s she was trying to look at my cervix, but his head was right there. She tried everything for about 15 mins. trying to get him to move and he just wouldn't. It was funny because it was like he was being stubborn.
After we got done and left the hospital we told our families. Matt's mom called and she was surprised, but excited. His dad was really wanting a boy so he was thrilled.
We had to wait for my mom to get back because my brother was taking his driver's license test. She was really surprised, she for sure thought I was having a girl. I called my aunt's and told them.
When my Dad got home from lunch we had three pictures that they had printed out and we had them in order with the last one being the picture saying "boy parts" on it. It was fun to watch his reaction. He was excited and then I showed all of them the video clip of him.
Matt and I also went to Wal-Mart and bought some boy clothes! The rest of the day I called our friends to let them know the news.
I am glad that we found out because I am going to not be able to travel to get a lot of things. Especially now that we know it is a boy because there is no boy clothes here. So, that really help out in that department.
We are thrilled..and not are trying to come up with names that we can agree on! But, that will be a secret until the end!
I will post all the pictures in a separate post!

20 Weeks
This week has been a busy one and so it was hard to jot down everything to blog about.
Symptoms:
more heartburn
backache
not as many leg cramps!
I am finding new positions to sleep in and that really helps with staying comfortable. Sometimes I toss and turn for a little bit, but then I get comfortable. I feel bad for Matt I probably wake him up a lot!
Daddy finally got to feel baby kick this week! It was such a special moment. The last couple of times I have felt the baby kick hard Matt is always just a little late getting into the room and then the baby calms down and just chills out:) This time though it was the hardest I have felt the baby kick and it scared me a little at first. It was so neat to watch Matt's face. We both just sat there waiting for the baby to kick and the baby did. It was as if the baby knew that we were there waiting. It was a emotional moment for Matt and I. To feel the child that you created move inside of you is amazing.
Mommy's belly has popped out a little more. Not to much, but to the point where people can now tell that I am pregnant. I think that I am carrying more in my back and that may explain why it hurts a lot more for not being so big yet. Plus it could be the reason that I am not showing all out front. Also, my hips have always been wide so I may carry it more there too.
People have been asking me if I am scared about the labor and to be honest I haven't really thought about it that much. I know that it is something that I am going to have to do, there is no way around it. But, at the end you have a beautiful baby and it makes it worth it. I really don't want an epidural. If it gets to bad then I will probably get one, but I want to try and do it without it. We will see...
I got really sick this week and it was awful. I woke up around six in the morning Wed throwing up what I had for dinner the night before. I was worried that I may have food poisoning but I don't think I did. The rest of Wednesday was miserable. I couldn't keep anything down and for the first part of the morning I had diarrhea(gross I know). I was supposed to work that night, so I finally found someone to take the shift. I was all by myself because Matt was still out of town. By the end of the night I was finally able to eat chicken broth. The smell made me want to throw up but at least I kept it down. Thursday and Friday I was still really nauseated, but I was able to eat.
We found out that Zac&Karli are expecting a baby! We couldn't be more excited for them. I feel awful for Karli because she has been so sick. I know how she feels although I think she has it a little worse than I did. They are going to make such great parents. I get so emotional about it whenever I write/talk about it! She is due in Jan. and that is exciting because our kids will only be a few months apart!

19 Weeks
I can't believe that I forgot to post about week 19! I thought I did, but I guess not. That was two weeks ago and I am having a hard time remembering what happened.
Still having a lot of the same symptoms:
heartburn
backache
leg cramps
I am starting to feel less tired during the day, but have a harder time sleeping comfortably. I did feel the baby kick this week. I haven't been sure if that is what I have been feeling, but this was definitely kicking. It was really neat and I wanted to share it with Matt. I tried seeing if Matt could feel it before he left for his week in Portland, but he couldn't. Hopefully when he gets back he will.
We go in for our ultra-sound next and I am really excited/nervous. I just want everything to be okay with the babies development.

18 Weeks
I am so far behind that it is almost time to blog about week 19! There wasn't really anything new this week. I have really felt the baby move a lot. It moves a little when I lie down to go to sleep at night. I guess it is kind of good practice for when the baby is here:)
The new thing this week was leg cramps in the middle of the night. I think every night I got at least one if not more. The first time I jumped out of bed it really scared Matt. He thought there was something my belly and the baby. It was cute.
I can't believe that I am almost half way through my pregnancy. It has gone by so fast. I am a little shocked that I am not showing more. I am hoping that I start to show more in the next month or so. But, who knows maybe I won't get that big!
