WOW...I'm a horrible blogger!-and in case you didn't know, it's a BOY!!
So I guess I owe a few explanations for being MIA for TEN weeks!! The last time that I updated, I was getting ready for the first trimester screening, which I did NOT want to do! Well that was warranted, because unbeknownst to my husband and everyone else, our test came back positive for Downs. FALSE POSITIVE I should add, before continuing the story. I had reasons to believe that everything was going to be fine-the ultrasound part of the testing looked great, but it was the blood test that came back positive... but I was still VERY scared and couldn't quite face talking about it or dealing with it. By choosing NOT to have an Amnio or CVS testing (both which are invasive and while unlikely, still could harm the baby that we tried SOOOO hard to have!)I was told I had to wait 6 more weeks before I could do the next round of Ultrasound/blood testing to rule out Downs Syndrome. Fortunately, I started a new job back at the OC Register right after this first test, so I was able to bury myself in work and not obsess too much.
To make this short, the ultrasound/blood test came back at week 19 PERFECT-our baby boy is PERFECT!!! By really talking about it or obsessing, I was able to stuff it, until the ultrasound was over. I cried the whole way back to work because I was so relieved...I know that I knew all along that he was fine, but I still had held in a lot of emotion surrounding the tests!!
Back to when we found out it was a boy, we went in as early as we could; 13 weeks. We were told it was a boy, and Eric absolutely did NOT believe the tech. He kept thinking that we would come back the next time, and get the "HA! It's really a girl!" Well when we went back at 18 weeks, not only was he still a he, but he made absolute sure that there was NO question...he was not shy at all in showing us the goods!
Now back to more current info-I am 22 weeks, feeling LARGE AND IN CHARGE, and all in all feeling pretty darn good! I am not getting much sleep and am having a little bit of back/tailbone soreness, but otherwise I really feel good!!
This little guy is VERY active...I first felt him moving at just over 16 weeks-the little bubbles that are hard to put your finger on sometimes, but definitely there! Now he has pretty set times that he is active...almost EVERY TIME I am in the car, and then 10am, 4-6pm and again at 10:30 at night (right now!) are his most active. Now I can actually see him move, and feel when his little body pushes up against my skin...this is the BEST part of being pregnant!! Active is an understatement-he is an acrobat for sure! No complaints though-I love it all. Jake is very into it all-he loves to feel him move and talks to my belly all the time....so cute! Eric on the other hand has yet to feel him...his patience is very limited, and if the baby doesn't move within 30 seconds of him putting his hand there, he says the baby doesn't like him! Pretty funny, and very Eric.
I promise, I will be better about updating now-and I will even add pictures!
