20 Weeks! (At last)

After letting the whole world know first, I can finally blog about our 20 week appointment.

The big reveal was quite delayed. The majority of people according to various polls had predicted a baby girl. If you remember my previous blog post, I actually assumed the opposite of the majority would be true. And low and behold, IT's A BOY! Baby boy was bashful and after 20 minutes of trying to get him to spread his legs for a peek, he finally gave us the goods for only a split second! Our tech was 100 percent certain he was all boy. Everything looked normal. He weighed in at 11 ounces, 11 inches and had a heart rate of 158 beats per minute. Mom and Dad are soo excited to be having a son! An added plus, the Carr name will not end with Chris either, pretty exciting for his family.

Meanwhile, here is my progress:

•Overall weight gain=5 lbs. Not too bad for 20 weeks, but still a little shocking.
•Blood pressure 110 over 77.
•Next appointment in 4weeks, Monday, December 20th.

Weekly Gratitude

I am grateful this week for ...

• We do have oranges after all! They look a lot more orange and not so yellow in person.

• My health. Feeling blessed for not being sick when everyone around me seems to be.
• Lots and lots of energy and the urge to clean everything!
• One of my best friends getting engaged. Wohoo so happy for you girl! Ha and you said you would never get married. ;)
• Only one short weekend left before we see our sweet little angel again! Yay for Monday.

I acknowledge that I take these things for granted each and every day and am fully aware that there are many people in this world that do not share my same gratitudes from which God has given me happiness. What are you grateful for today? Much, I am sure!
