21 weeks!

     today was a big day! first let me start off with an update on the progress of the baby! it is now about three quarters of a pound and approximately 10 1/2 inches long, the length of a carrot. the baby is constantly moving and going crazy in there! i have no idea what it is doing but what ever it is, it must be fun! in other developments the baby's eyebrows and eye lids are now present!
    
     now for the good stuff!
     as you all know i was having my ultrasound today to find out the sex of the baby! i have been feeling so strongly that it is a boy and would bet any money on it! all my dreams this pregnancy have been of boys and its all thomas and i ever talk about! so thomas and i were extremely anxious to find out if my premonitions were correct! but i was very bummed to find out that thomas would be unable to make it to the appointment about two hours before we were suppose to be there, because of a shortage in staff. fortunately my mom was planning on going with us so she was there with me through the whole thing! so she would be the first to hear "i told you so!!" if it indeed turned out to be correct!
     when the ultrasound technician started she asked where thomas was and i told her he wouldnt be coming, so she asked "if you want, would you like me to write down the sex of the baby and put it in an envelope so you and thomas can look at it together?"
     i ponder the idea for a moment and looked at my mom for some guidance on what i should do but she was just staring at me waiting for a response, so i simply said "no." calm as can be! they both laughed and i said i can not wait any longer and i will go crazy if i have to!! besides, i made it to the appointment so why should i be tortured and have to wait!??
     the ultrasound technician was kind enough to let us take a short video with my phone of the baby so i could share it with thomas, and now i am sharing it with you! the baby's head is on the left and the body goes towards the right. the hand is also right next to the chest. 

     after my mom and i left the appointment i knew the gender of the baby and shortly after i started calling family and texting friends regarding what i was having! i even received a text from the father to be asking what we were having and i replied by letting him know he would have to wait until he got home, which he found some humor in!
     so on our way home i wanted to stop at nordstrom to buy the baby a little onesie that was gender specific and get it gift wrapped so thomas could open it and discover for himself what we were having!
     when thomas walked in the door he immediately asked "so what is it??!" but i told him i wasnt going to tell him yet and i could see he was getting extremely anxious! so after a little small talk i showed him the box and told him it was for him to open and he would know right away what we were having! here is the video of thomas finding out the news!

     we are both very excited and very surprised!! i can not wait for the day that i get to hold this little baby in my arms and see what i created! but now the fun begins! i can start buying more baby clothes and all kinds of things!! i will continue to keep you posted! and tomorrow i will post a couple of the ultrasound pictures, but right now i am very tired and need to sleep, today was an extremely eventful day!
