Moving and Grooving! 18 weeks Pregnant!

Here are some things (some good, but mostly not so good) that I have noticed recently or in the last 18 weeks that have come about with my pregnancy The :D face means these are the things I like about being pregnant so far...

*Feeling the little man moving around inside my tummy... still very slight but definitely very cool!! :D
*The lovely growing belly :D
*Crazy achy back pain when I drive or sit too long
*Dry itchy skin patches (it has gotten better)
*Itchy growing belly
*Bigger boobs (not that they weren't big enough already)
*Acne (I guess that comes more with having boys)
*CRAZY ANNOYING RESTLESS LEGS ALL THE TIME!!! This is my least favorite
*Cravings for cheese (just by itself), Mexican food, peanut butter, and lemonade :D
*Excuse to pick where we go out to eat :D
*Charley horses at anytime of the night that I haven't had since I did sports in high school
*Burping and farting more than usual. haha
*Excuse to be lazy whenever I feel like it :D
*Peeing every time I wake up at night instead of waking up and just being able to fall back to sleep
*Runny nose all the time no matter how many times I blow my nose!
*Not having to change the cat box :D
*Being exhausted almost all the time
*Picking out cute baby boy clothes and ideas for the nursery :D
*My wonderful husband taking care of me when I don't feel good :D
*Buying cute maternity clothes :D
*Being almost half way through my pregnancy :D

ITS A BOY!!!

We found out on Thursday that ITS A BOY!!!! He definitely had no shame in showing us his boy parts. I guess he did not want us to question his manhood at all so he made sure to show us the goods :D For the whole first part of the ultra sound all we could see was the butt view, and I think once he knew we knew, then he thought it would be ok to turn to the side and show us the rest of him. The funny thing is the ultrasound tech couldn't get a good full body picture of him once he turned, we only really got good views of his butt. Lol Humorous little man... so much like his daddy already!

We are very very excited to be having a little boy! I can't wait to start picking out clothes and things we need. We went to Hobby Lobby on Saturday just to get ideas and ended up already picking out things for his room. We're going to go with a old-fashioned baseball theme. I want to start decorating his room now before I've even started with the other rooms. Here are just a few ultra sound pictures... we manged one good body shot. If you look closely you can see him waving ;) And for those of you who dont mind seeing... if you scroll down to the last picture you will see the lovely little boy parts
