20 weeks and I can't wait!!

Well, this is it, the big half way point. I feel really great right now, I feel a little bit of movement, but it is sporadic and very faint....Luis is dying to feel it, but he can't yet. I had an ultrasound today and the baby is doing very well, his heartbeat is 160 and he is 12 ounces....that is right ladies and gentlemen...he is almost a pound. He was playing with his feet and we got some really good pictures of that. There is still plenty of room in there as he was moving around a lot. As for me, I really have nothing to report. I am growing an impressive bump....and growing a couple of other body parts as well that I will not go into on the "G" rated post. Other than that I am peachy, I know why the 2ND trimester is everyone's favorite, no backaches, and no vomiting....this is the good life. I am a big time planner, so I am trying to plan for this little guy as much as I can. We registered at BabiesRus and I am doing some work on the nursery little by little so I don't get overwhelmed with all this. My mom is throwing me a shower in Florida on August 1st so I will be seeing everyone in FL in a couple months. Today I will leave you with some ultrasound picture....and the ever hilarious belly shot

18 weeks--Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

Well that's right ladies and gentlemen......it is a boy!! and we are super excited. Our ultrasound was amazing I can't believe how detailed it was, just remembering it gives me chills. He was a bit uncooperative b/c he was having an afternoon nap, but we got some good shots. For those of you who don't know we will be naming him after Luis, Luis Rolando Gonzalez IV. He'll go by his middle name, b/c we already have a Luis in the house. I immediatly went to Babies R Us to buy some blue stuff to put in his closet I found and bought a little too much, but hey you only have your first baby boy once, right? As for me, I am feeling fine and noticing people stare at me a little bit, trying to decide if I am pregnant are not. So far no one has asked yet, according to my baby book that will soon change as I am expected to grow exponentially in the next few weeks, so by 24 weeks there will be no question that my expanding belly isn't from a few too many cupcakes. I am thinking about nursery ideas now, and will expand on that as I come up with ideas........I am anti-procrastination, so I plan to have the entire nursery done by Sept 1, in case my boy has an early itch to meet me. Well that is going to be it for this post. Here is my favorite pic from the ultrasound. I love his baby lips!
