Baby Boy Fry

I know this is about 3 weeks late but it has been so busy with the break and starting a new semester. So as most of you know we're have a boy!!! So exciting. I've been telling Dan from about week 13 that I thought it was a boy. Everyone has been telling us they thought it was a boy. So because of that Dan said we're having a girl because he thought we were being jinxed. We guess what..... I was right. For our 20 week appointment they did a DVD of the ultrasound instead of pictures. I'm not that good with computers but I did however manage to get some snapshots off the video. They're not the best but it's something.

BOY!!!

His heart. You can see all 4 ventricles.

We've got a thumb sucker already.

More pictures to come including California vacation pictures and an updated baby bump picture.

19 Weeks

I really am slacking. My bad. It's just been so crazy and Dan and I always forget to take a picture. Story of this week. So yesterday, I ended up going to the doctor for some really unpleasant side/back pain. It hurt so much to the point I couldn't even fully stand. At first I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I've heard lots of pregnant women have that but I did not want to take that change. So I drove to the doctor to find out what it was. The whole way there all I could think of was, "Please don't let it be a kidney stone. Please don't let it be a kidney stone." To make a long story short.... It's not a kidney stone. After the doctor checked it out and did a urine test, he feels it's a spine issue. He said this can happen in pregnancy because of the joints and everything. He told me to take it easy the next few weeks (yeah not something you tell someone the week before final) and gave me a prescription for some muscle relaxers when the pain gets too bad. Not fun at all. So this means I REALLY need to start doing yoga more often. Not a big issue but it feels like it when my side/back feels like someone is stabbing it continually.

Anyways, enough of that. On to better pregnancy/baby stuff. :)
