Are You A Boy?!

The majority of you guys are telling me that I am having a boy!

My dreams have also been saying that I am having a boy! The last two night's dreams are about a baby boy....weird. I guess we will all just have to wait and see! Next Friday we have a doctor's appointment, and I am pretty sure that I am going to try and "sweet-talk" our doctor into giving me an ultrasound and seeing if he can determine gender so that we do not have to wait until January. (Which seems impossible!) I will be at 18.5 weeks at the time of my appointment, and I know that gender can be detected as early as 17 weeks- so it should be possible if the baby decides to cooperate! I know that many of you have been asking for belly shots- but to be honest, there is not much to show quite yet. People around work are starting to ask if I am really pregnant, or not! Soon...it will be there. I do feel little kicks, punches or head-butts. I usually feel them after I eat or when my body is still- like laying down or sitting. It is a really neat feeling. It used to feel like little muscle twitches- but now they are more like pokes! Below I found a photo on one of my baby websites of what an 18week old baby actually looks like. We won't have any ultrasounds for a while and so I wanted to provide a non-food-item-photo of just how big our baby already is! It's a 3-D magnified ultrasound photo, so it allows for more details and clarity...

Again, not ours- but just a better visual! Enjoy and stay warm!
