And the Baby is a . . . . .

I wanted to have the ultrasound pictures to put up here, but I can't find our scanner. Kind of odd that a kind of largish machine would just go missing like that, but it has. So sorry, no pictures.

The ultrasound we had before going out to Utah was correct. I had the official ultrasound last Monday and it was once again very obvious.

BOY!

Jeremy is of course very excited. He was really hoping for a boy, as were Nathan and I. Megan is a little disappointed, but she'll get over it quick enough. Emma still doesn't really understand what's going on. She just pats my chest and says, "fat?" and then pats my belly and says, "baby?" and that's about how far we've gotten with her.

We are really super excited for this baby and what's more, everything is looking great. At first our doctor had me coming in every two weeks so he could keep a close eye on me (just to be safe after the miscarriage last summer). Since there was no problem with the big ultrasound and I'm feeling really well he's slacking off on me and I only have to check in once a month for a while.

He also said, which I've never heard before, that I'm right on target with my weight gain. With Megan, Jeremy (especially Jeremy), and Emma I gained so much weight. I was way over where I should have been with baby weight and so when he told me I'd gained a pound a week in the last five weeks and that was exactly what I should have done, I was pretty happy.

So things are looking good right now. I'll keep looking for our scanner so I can eventually put the ultrasound pictures up. Although, Nathan says I can't put the gender reveal picture because it's just a little too much. I guess if it wasn't so obvious he wouldn't mind, but as it is, if you want to see it, you have to come to Cleveland. Sorry.

Update: Nathan found the scanner!! Wahoo! but because it's so late I'm not setting it up right now. I'll try to do it sometime tomorrow. Night y'all.
