IT'S A....

.....Do you REALLY want to know? hehe...

The u/s went well. This baby is SOOOO darn active. Moving...flipping...going wild. I know the tech can't really tell you anything but she said that everything 'looked' good...and that the Dr. has to go over the films. She spent a long time trying to look at the heart...and that got me nervous...but the baby was moving and shaking....so it was hard to get a good picture. I hope that is all that was up with that.

Overall...it was an awesome experience...

HE was measuring big. YUPPPPPAS....a BOY! I think he was measuring with the due date that I think which makes me 20 weeks tomorrow...not my LMP...which makes me 19 weeks 1 day today. I think some of his measurements put him at 21 weeks.

I'm a little scared cause Belle was 8 lbs...and they say each baby gets bigger...plus it's a boy and they generally are bigger, right? ACCCKKKK!

This is exciting! Now moms of boys....can you tell me?? What the heck do I do with a boy?? *wink*...

What a GREAT day!!

Yay!!! I'm so glad to hear things are going so well! And your having a boy!!! I just "knew" you were having another girl..but then again I just "knew" I was having a girl both times and look what I got! I just need to go in the opposite direction of what I think I "know"!

Anyway, boys are easy and fun. You'll get the hang of it!

As far as weight goes... Logan was 7lbs, 11oz and Lance was 8lbs, 15oz. I don't have a girl to compare to, but my second did weigh more and I gained just about the same amount of weight during PG. I also carried Lance a week and a half longer than I did Logan so that may have made a difference too with him weighing more.

Congratulations!

Boys are Fun.... I already have 2... soon 3 LOL

For a minute I thought you were going to keep it a sesret, LOL I would have had to track you down on your Due In board hehe....

I have heard some people say they get bigger each time, which was true for me LOL Preston was 5lbs 12oz. & Grant was 8lbs 5oz. so I am praying it is false. My Dr said at this point of my pregnancy Grant was measuring much larger then I am now so maybe this little guy will be smaller I HOPE!!!

OMG I just can't beleive your already 20 weeks & I will be delivering soon! YIPPEE!!!! I am axious for D Day.
I have already gone into labor 3 times and they had to stop my CTX. My last visit they hooked me up and said yoru ctx are 4 min apart, and I thought wow I can't feel them?!

I have been wanting to contact you but have been so busy! I hope your feeling great!
Keep in touch I am so happy for you... CONGRATULATIONS!

Congrats on the boy!! In general, second babies are bigger, but my DS1 was 8lbs 12oz, and ds2 was only 7lbs 9 oz. We were expecting a 9lber so were quite surprised to only have 7.5lbs!
