We are so thrilled to see our little man, and to know that he's healthy, and crazy active! He just simply wouldn't hold still during the entire exam. He also had one of his feet buried in his crotch through most of the exam, so finding what we really wanted to see was difficult. After some clever maneuvering on the part of our u/s technician, he finally obliged and we got a great view of his cute little toosh and... well, he's a boy! :)
After the high of finding out the sex, I had to step on the scale. I looked at the number, and seriously almost started crying... I think the only reason I didn't was because I had just had some of the best news of my life right before. I'm officially 10 pounds heavier than I ever have been - 15 of which have been gained in the last 4 weeks! I had no clue... my scale is broken at home, so I was in ignorant bliss. My doctor didn't mention anything about it, so I was a bit surprised - I finally said "Uh, by the way... have I gained too much weight?" He looked at my chart and said "Yes... yes, you have!" Since finding out, I've gained a total of 25 pounds - unbelievable for someone who spent the first third of it throwing up almost everything I ate. I have no clue how I managed to pack it on so fast, but apparently I'm choosing all the wrong foods to eat. :) So, besides obsessing over my little boy, I'm also freaking out about how I'm going to lose all of this weight after the baby comes!!
Ugh!!! Other than my weight explosion, everything looked "normal" which, like my friend Noelle, is my favorite word to hear. So, now we have to pick a name, register, visit the hospital, do a childbirth class, fix up the nursery, and countless other things before this little guy arrives. We're super excited, and we're so grateful for all of the love and support everyone has shown us in the last few months. We love all our family and friends so much and just know God has used each and every one of you to bring us encouragement during this time. :)

Yay, yay, yay! Congratulations on your little man! You & Adam are going to be amazing parents to your sweet boy! Glad to hear he is growing healthy!
P.S.--I think you are a radiant pregnant lady... I would have never thought you looked like you've gained too much weight!
I'm so excited to see your little man!!!! Oh, don't forget in all your planning that you're going to need an area in your home where you can put lots of toys for him to busily play with :).
Enroll in Braselton Boot Camp. We'll work out together! (wink wink). Seriously, just nurse, nurse, nurse, and most of it should just fall right off.
Oh Boy!!!
