April 29th, 2010saying goodbye
Tomorrow my mom heads back to WA, after spending almost the entire month with us, cooking, cleaning and hanging out. We had a lot of fun, and she quite enjoyed buying maternity clothes (everyone needs to wear maternity jeans—most comfortable jeans EVER) and baby clothes (and stuffed animals). She was supposed to watch our house while we went to Italy for our honeymoon, but due to the complications of being pregnant, we rescheduled and she decided to come anyway, lol.
I’m 18 weeks today, which means I have a bump, my boobs have gone up half a cup size and I’m pretty sure I can feel something moving in there. Although it could be indigestion. Or gas. Who the hell knows, pregnancy is weird.
Yesterday we went for an ultrasound (mom was quite excited) to check all the parts (spine—check, 2 kidneys—check, good heart—check, penis—check).
Yep. I’m having a boy. It’s quite a shock to the Chop and I, both having expected a girl. My parents are thrilled (they always wanted a boy, lol) and we’re coming around. It’s odd, when you think you are having one thing, and it turns out to be another, it can be quite emotionally surprising.
