almost 15 weeks

So this Friday I will be 15 weeks. It's crazy how time flies! I have been feeling pretty good lately. No more feeling crappy! I seemed to have gotten my energy back and the only two things that are still lingering are headaches and this nasty metallic taste in my throat. Very annoying!

I FINALLY was able to get an ultrasound from Nicole's mom (thank you Laura!) at 12 weeks. Everything looked good and it was obviously to early to see the sex :(

This past week I went to Florida with some girlfriends and the friend we stayed with was able to give me another ultrasound (thanks Megan!) AND we may know the sex already! She actually did the u/s vaginally because she said with me being early still, that she would have a better chance seeing because I guess they are a little more clear when done that way. So anyway we finally got a nice little shot of our little peanuts parts and it is pretty darn obvious that our little babe is a BOY! She was pretty confident in telling me that it's probably for certain. If you could see the pic then I think you would probably agree that it's a boy. I googled u/s pics of boys and girls and they said that a girl would look like a "hamburger with the bun" (3 white lines) and a boy looks like a "turtle". This picture definitely looks like a "turtle". I know they say that it's easy to confuse boys and girls when it's still early but I was confident enough to buy a few boy things already :) They are returnable though, just in case!

So there you have it, we "may" be having a boy. I go in on May 13th for official u/s with the Dr. and hopefully we'll have some confirmation. But for now I have been having fun stocking up on boy things. Andrew has already told me I need to slow down! It's just too fun though :)
