It's a.............

BOY!!!

We are so excited to be having another boy! I really thought it was going to be a girl because this pregnancy has been so much different. I was pretty sick until about 17 weeks and still feel nauseated at times. Marshall & Chandler came to the ultrasound. A few minutes into it, I was feeling anxious and wanted to know whether it was a girl or boy. The u/s tech got a great crotch shot and I said, "Now that's a boy!" She laughed and said she was going to ask us if we wanted to know, but we figured it out on our own. We saw his little boy parts a few different times, and there's no mistaking that. It will be great for Chandler to have a little brother to wrestle with and be buddies with. Baby was measuring at 19 weeks, so right on. I'm taking that as a good sign as Chandler measured a week big at his 20 week ultrasound. I'm trying for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) as it was a hard recovery from a c-section. I think that will happen as long as I have a smaller baby. Chan was just too big for me (9 lbs 1 oz & 22 inches long) so I failed to progress. I think it didn't help that I gained 55 lbs, oops! I've only put on 5 lbs so far this time but I packed on the weight in the 3rd trimester with Chandler, so I assume this little guy will be the same
This baby is really active too and I'm feeling a lot of strong movement as the placenta is posterier this time. It was anterior with Chan and I didn't feel this strong of kicking going on at this time.
Now to play the name game. I think boy names are a lot harder than girl names. Marsh and I just have to agree on something, lol. I want something unique, but not weird. I also don't want him to have 5 other kids in his class with the same name growing up. Anyways, there you have it! We're almost halfway done and now we get to look forward to getting REALLY big, having more indigestion and waddling around :)
