We're having a...

BOY! We are so very excited and happy! The sonogram was just amazing. We could see him moving around, he opened his little mouth...it was just all so cute. He looks like Sam so much already. I'm so thankful Sam was able to be there for it. Mom also came. It was just perfect. We've decided to name him Carter Price. It fits.

Everything is going well, except for the Braxton Hicks. I didn't think they were a big deal, but my doctor does. She's the one with the MD, so I'm going to take her advice. I have to call her tomorrow b/c I had too many today. Sucks.

change of plans...

We've had a change in plans: we're finding out the gender this Thursday instead of next week! I am so extremely excited and thankful. I emailed our nurse, Debe, to see if I could get the date changed. I'm presenting a workshop next week with Jennie and just thought I was cutting it too close. She said we could! The best part is Sam is able to go!! I'm actually a little nervous about finding out! I've been thinking it's a boy for awhile, but now I'm second guessing myself. Guess I'll just have to wait!

On another note, I think I'm having Braxton Hicks. My tummy muscles get really tight and then relax. It's unlike any feeling I've ever felt. I kinda started to feel the sensation last week, but didn't really think it was that until tonight. I've read that it's normal around this time, but still going to check with my doctor to make sure.

Doctor visit

I had another doctor visit today and it went great! Little heartbeat was at 154 and sounded so wonderful. My next appointment is Sept. 24th when we find out if we're having a little girl or boy! So excited about that one!! I'm so ready to start getting more things together: bedding, decor, sewing, etc.

I really started to feel movement this week! Today, Baby B was really shakin' it around 2 p.m. I'll post a pic later of the bump.

I have to share this precious website: Cuteasabuttontyler.com
This girl's mom works with me at Hogg. I really want to get a personalized chair when we find out the gender/name. Just too cute!
