He's kicking me!

Finally around week 21, I started to feel that "flutter" that everyone has been talking about. At first I dismissed the feeling because I wasn't quite sure if that was it. At this point (almost 23 weeks) I can tell when Tater is moving around. The doctor explained that the placenta is on my outer stomach wall and was blocking me from feeling any movement. I'm just looking forward to when Gabe can feel him moving around.

It's a.....

BOY!!!!!! Needless to say we are extremely excited to break the cycle of girls in both of our families! According to the ultrasound technician, all the baby's measurements look fine, which is good to hear. Our next appointment will actually be with a different doctor as they want me to be introduced to everyone within the group.
Now we can really focus on picking a name and how we want to decorate the nursery. I will probably be addicted to searching boy bedding and toys, etc.
After much anticipation, what an awesome day!

Thought I might try this...

So I am copying a friend of mine who started a blog when she was pregnant. My memory is absolutely horrendous, so my goal is to use this as a diary of sorts and blog what is going on now and after Tater (our nickname for baby) is born. Wednesday, January 7 is the big doctors appointment when we (hopefully) find out if Tater is a boy or girl. I have been told by several people to drink caffiene the morning of, so I might just have to try that. Stay tuned to find out the big news!!
