It is so hard to believe that we are halfway towards the birth of our first child! Where does the time go? Julie is showing a little more every week. She said the other night that she gets out of breath bending over. I just laughed a little. I call it life ... some of us have always been a little husky :). The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy around here. Julie had a bout with a small cold/sinuses. I hate seeing her not feel well. I hated even more the whale mating call sounds she made snoring. She reminds me that I make the same sounds and have no pregnancy to show for it. I, too, have had a little bout of sickness. I thought I was getting that horrid stomach virus. I came home on a Tuesday feeling icky and just knew I couldn't get Julie sick. I strapped on a mask and rubber gloves before coming in the house. I grabbed a couple of essentials from our bathroom and sequestered myself in the guest bedroom until a trip to the doctor the next day. Julie and I communicated that night by texts. It was like being in a hotel!
Luckily, I rebounded overnight from my illness and got to attend our regular visit with the OB/GYN. This was the big one. We didn't let on that we had been to Peek-a-Belly. The lady with the ultrasound took a long time with us. We saw the kidneys, the spine, the fingers (I saw him point!), the feet, the heart, the hemispheres of the brain and the big clue ... yep, officially a BOY!
Julie feels the baby kick ... and sometimes I do to. It is so amazing! We still have a lot to get done, though. There is still the issue of the nursery. We've got to find closet space for all of these clothes (luckily Jodi has given us some great hand-me-downs), including the addition of maternity wear. Lots of changes still to come, but not nearly the time we used to have to get it done. I'm looking at the calendar thinking, "June will be here soon!"
