Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails....

I can't believe I am 19 weeks and 5 days............almost half way there!!!!

Well we confirmed yesterday that we have a little boy on the way. We are so excited and are really going to start getting the nursery together (paint, chair rail, closet stuff.)now that we know. We have already pulle dup the carpet and had the hard wood floors underneath refinished (they were a mess). Below are some pictures of what we have so far. This is the furniture and the bedding that we already have. My parents bought us the bookcase and all of his bedding for Christmas and we bought the crib and changing table. Also I should note that all of these pics are just from the websites not of our nursery. I emailed it to one friend and they thought I had already picked a name because one of the pictures has the name Tristan on the wall. We are still working on a name. We are painting his room a lovely shade of blue this weekend...... so happy!

Baby Boy

Although its still a bit early, it appears that we have a little boy on the way. The tech said not to buy anything yet though hahaha. We have another in 3 weeks and will hopefully have a definite answer then.

Only 2 more days until.....

we find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I will only be 16 weeks 3 days but the doctor said as long as baby is cooperating we shouldn't have any problem finding out. I am so excited!!!!

Update

So I have turned into a bad blogger I know. It's weird after you get pregnant. It's like I was so used to being upset about infertility and I haven't quite figured out how to adjust to the fact that I'm pregnant. Sometimes it still doesn't feel real. Also the last thing I want to do is hurt anyone's feelings. We all know how hard it is to read about the joy someone is experiencing from their pregnancy when you are still trying so badly to get there. So I'm sorry if I am MIA. I'm just still getting used to the idea. That said I have a crib and a changing table in the nursery. I have paint samples on the walls (one blue, one pink). We are scheduled to find out the sex on Dec 17th (only 3 weeks from this Wednesday). This Wednesday I will officially be entering my 2nd trimester! Finally, we saw our little one on Friday and wow has it grown. I think we have an active one on our hands as it was wiggling all over the place. Here are some pics. My little blob now looks like a baby!!!

Second Ultrasound

Here is a pic of our little one. The head is on the bottom left. We also got to hear the heartbeat!! Such a wonderful sound. We are so happy right now. Due date is officially June 1st.

First Baby Pic

So this is a little late but here is an ultrasound pic from last Wednesday. You can't really see much but that's okay! I am hoping that we can get some better pics at our ultrasound this Friday.

A perfect little heartbeat

We saw the baby today for the first time. We could see right away that it had a perfect little heartbeat that the doctor said was over 100, which is great. The doc said everything looked wonderful and we are officially done with the fertility clinic. Our next appointment is a week from this Friday with my regular OB. We will be having another ultrasound then and if all is well I think we will then officially announce the pregnancy to everyone. My doctor today said that seeing a heartbeat definitely lowers the chance of miscarriage but that it lowers again at 8 and 11 weeks. He said if we get to 8 weeks and everything looks good we should feel pretty safe. Big sigh of relief today. Is this actually happening??????
