ITS A BOY!

On Feb 11th, 2011 we found out our little baby (Jack Bauer Toyota Bubbles) is a baby boy! I KNEW IT! Nate and I had a bet going and i won ::dancing around:: I thought that finding out the sex of the baby would be my sentimental moment. I was preparing myself the night before to cry in the office when the tech said "its a..." Instead, I shouted "I won! woot woot! I wont! You lose!" Maybe the sentimental moment will come when he's born. Or, maybe Nate and I will have some other inside joke about the birth and we will both be laughing our butts off about something else. Guess I'm just not that sentimental. Oh well, at least I'm funny ;)


We are working on the nursery. We got the floor samples in and the paint samples. The carpet is ripped up and Nate swears that he will paint soon ::cough, uh huh, cough:: jk. He has actually been working hard to get things moving on the nursery and we are ahead of schedule.


I've been feeling fine as far as the pregnancy goes. I only have a few minor complaints such as heartburn (tums does not work; ive upgraded to pepcid ac), exhaustion (I'm ready for bed at like 7pm) and not having the physical stamina i used to have in order to run and exercise. I'm scheduled to run a half marathon in march, but at this point its touch and go. I can only run for about an hour to an hour and a half before i get really exhausted and need to rest (more like sleep for a week). If I feel unprepared by the time it gets here, then i wont be running it. Im kinda sad about it though because I've been training for a marathon for a long time. During the summer i was training for the Dec 2010 Rock and Roll marathon, but then i got pregnant and i didnt want to risk running in the first trimester. Now, I've been training for this one in March and I just can't seem to get up the physical stamina to get 'er dun.


I barely feel the baby move, but I can feel it sometimes. The midwife said that my placenta is anterior (in the front) so its harder for me to feel him. Baby Boy only moves for Daddy, tho. He doesnt move all day for me (or all night) but as soon as Nate rubs my belly and talks to him, he starts doing summersaults in there. The other night when Nate was playing with him, he kicked me really hard. It was a definite kick. SO COOL! But, Baby Boy won't do it for me :/ He's already a daddy's boy.


Tomorrow I will be 20 weeks. This is already 1/2 way over. I can't believe how fast it's going. It feels like just yesterday I was frustrated that I wasn't getting pregnant. It'll be sad when it's over but happy because we will have little baby Jack Bauer Toyota Bubbles.
