20 Weeks & Big New!

We found out we're expecting a little boy! We couldn't be more happier about it. Kevin is the only male to carry on his family name and now we have one more to add to the list. Collin Gene is on track and is looking great! He's measuring in the 50th percentile for his growth. It was so amazing to see him moving around and kicking and waving his hand. He was great at letting us know he was a boy that's for sure. We were able to see his heart beating it was a healthy 143Bpm. Which is great and the tech said it's right where we want it to be. He showed us his arms and legs and we got some what of a profile view but not much. He decided to curl up into a little ball and not let the tech finish up what he needed to get. But he assured us everything looked great and there is nothing to worry about. But he told us that we needed to come back in a week or two to get another view and finish up somethings he didn't get. Which is never bad thing I would love to look at him every week if I could. So our next U/S and Appt is Sept 15th I can't wait to get another look at our little boy.
It's so strange to call him Collin or a boy. It's still hard to believe that he's in there. But he reassures me every so often since I can feel him move around and kick now. Which is the most amazing thing ever. It's the coolest feeling I've ever felt. I feel so connected to him and I can't believe we're half way there already. It's kind of hard to believe I didn't think we would ever be here now. It weird to feel him move his hand or foot which ever it is across my belly. Kevin can't wait to feel him I know he wants to know but it might not happen for awhile.
We started our registry this week too which was a lot of fun to pick things out that he'll be using and wearing. Now to wait for my showers which are going to be great and the holiday season which is quickly approaching us.

18 Weeks

We're getting closer and closer to the big U/S and I can't wait. I'm so excited to find out what we're having! It was a nice quiet weekend at home with Ben. Ben ended up having to get a cast put on his leg because he fractured it in three places jumping up for a rope. I was so freaked out he broke his leg or he'd have to have surgery. So now he's in a cast for a few weeks and then we'll see how it's healed hopefully he'll be ok and go back to normal.
We're going on Vacation next week and I can't wait to be up north in peace and quiet! We're going to bring cupcakes with blue frosting for a boy and pink frosting for a girl. Kevin's mom is going to come with us and find out and we're going to go surprise my parents with the cupcakes. So Thursday the 3rd is the day we all hope your not shy!
Other wise it's been pretty easy this past week other then all the growing pains and what not which is so great to feel.

14 Weeks

This week has been great we took some time off and headed up to my grandparents to the week and it was so nice to get away. We did some fishing well I read K fished. LOL! We had breakfast and dinner with my grandparents two day which was nice to talk with them. We walked around town and just hang out together. It was great to just have no phones to interrupt us and to have peace and quiet.
We got back and it was right back to work for me I was so busy on Friday I wasn't even able to take a break. But we got to go see our friends new baby boy and it's just so awesome to think that is growing inside or me but man it's also hard to believe. He's such a cutie and I can't believe how much a little boy can melt your heart.
Saturday we had some work to do and then Kevin took me out to dinner and just hung out just us. I love it being just us I think we're starting to realize it's not going to be just us in a few months which is just crazy to even think about. But we need to spend our time together now and enjoy each other now before we add a little person to the mix.
Other then that baby bean is doing great s/he is growing like crazy because I haven't been able to stop eating if I eat I'm hungry again within like 30 mins like I never ate in the first place. But it's great to know bean is growing. We'll see where the next few weeks take us.
