Nick and I went out shopping the other day for baby boy clothing and had so much fun (which goes down on record as the first time that the word "fun" has been applicable to a shopping trip with Nicholas). This baby is going to be decked out in sports gear, preppy wear, and overall dorkus baby clothing. Seriously, we're talking sweater vests, old man driving caps, tiny infant starter jackets, and train engineer overalls. Dressing your child like this is akin to abuse in certain cultures. I can't wait.
To elaborate a bit on the ultrasound - it was amazing. As soon as Eggy came up on the screen I started tearing up - I just can't get over that this was the same little black spot we watched grow in my ovary 6 months ago and prayed would mature enough to be released. He was moving around a ton in there and looked like he was lounging in a uterus hammock. Life must be good in Hotel de Niel's Vajayjay. We got to see his heart, spine, brain, and all major organs and bones (and everything looks perfect!) He was turning circles, waving his hand, opening and closing his mouth, flexing his feet and toes, and even sucking his thumb at one point. It's so bizarre to see this little tiny fetus do all these normal human things in there. At one point the tech was measuring the femur bones and I got a little peek at something in that general area that looked a bit suspicious. The tech hadn't said anything yet, but had asked us whether or not we wanted to know the sex. She checked a few other areas, and then came back down for a view of "the goods", and asked us what we thought it looked like we were having. There was no missing the twig and berries going on down there - and as soon as she confirmed "yep, it's a son" we all started cheering and crying. I don't think Nick knew what to do with himself. Eggy was very 'flashy' with the boy hardware (and everytime his little penis came up on the screen the tech would say "Doing!"...A bit unsettling quite honestly.) There is definitely no question that we've got a little man growing in there, and Nick's been puffed up with manly pride at the cajones our little one flashed on the screen. The only thing that worries me is how the heck is my womanly body going to know how to grow a penis/testicles correctly? I feel like I should study up on some male anatomy charts on something. I mean, it is an important piece of equipment. Plus it's ever so slightly disturbing to think I have a little tiny penis growing inside me. I'm just saying.
It was great because my mom was able to be there to see this all as well, and it was incredibly special to have her be part of such a powerful experience for us on the road to parenthood. She of course cried when the baby came up on the ultrasound initially, cried when they said it was a boy, cried with the midwife pulled up the heartbeat on the doppler, cried when she gave me a hug to say bye...Well, you get the drift. It was emotional. Overall it was awesome hearing that we're having a baby boy (though I've had such a strong sense that's what we were cooking this whole pregnancy - honestly I would have been shocked if it had been a girl!), but even better was to hear that everything is looking happy and healthy for our little Eggy. We couldn't be more excited...
20 Week Survey:
How far along?: 5 months preggo! Half way there already...
How big is baby?: 10 ounces and 6 inches long - about the size of a banana
Weight gain?: Up 10lbs. Hmmm, if baby is only 10 ounces, what the hell else is accounting for that other 9lbs 6ounces?!
Maternity Clothes?: Fo' sho'. Sad moment when I realized my men's small t-shirt I wear to work-out is starting to get a little tight.
Stretch Marks?: We don't say that word in this house.
Sleep?: MY *&^%^ HIPS ARE KILLING ME. Someone is going to pay for this. Probably Nicholas.
Best moment this week?: Finding out we're having a BOY!
Movement?: Lots and lots. Turning into actual jabs and rolls now.
Food cravings?: Crackers, cheese, and salsa. My trusty stand-by.
Aversions?: Did you see the weight gain? Does it sound like I'm experiencing aversions?!
Gender?: Houston, we've got a weiner!

Gender?: Houston, we've got a weiner!
Belly button in or out?: Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide.
What I miss most?: Being able to work-out without feeling like a fatty-fatty-two-by-four. I have so much more sympathy for people battling their weight who are trying to work out. It is seriously HARD doing my work-out with this extra weight tacked on my gut.

What I'm looking forward to?: Buying more baby things! Must. Find. Self. Control.
Milestones: Weiner sighting, ultrasound to see baby, half-way cooked mark...This was a big week!
