22w2d John Paul (Jack) it is!!!!

I can't believe we have a little boy! Yep!! Yesterday we had another ultrasound, and it was confirmed....we have a beautiful little bouncing baby boy. I am sooo happy. While I would have loved to have a girl...if the doctor would have told me at this scan that he was wrong the first time...and that this baby was a girl, I would have been disappointed. I have grown to know this little bean as a little boy...and that is exactly what he is! His name will be: John Paul Butler Carson and we will call him Jack. I love him and can feel him moving every day. I thought it was his feet kicking down there, but I was informed that it is his head moving around! We also learned that Jack's brain is measuring ahead of schedule (he is going to be smart!!!) and that he weighs 1lb 1oz!!! We told my Mom that it has been confirmed and she is very excited too. This will be the very first little boy anyone on our side of the family has had!!! Sometimes, I still can't believe I am pregnant. I feel so lucky and wonder what I did to deserve this...it feels like a dream. I still get sick at night...but I love being pregnant...I love this baby.

20w0d...Walking...and Feeling Some Movement!

Things have been moving right along with this pregnancy. Sometimes, I am in awe that it is really true. I can't believe that I am pregnant. I just can't believe it. Life moves on...and I am pregnant. It is just too amazing. I am so thankful. I still have morning sickness each evening. (I am doing well in the mornings and early afternoons (just a little nausea) but by 3:00-4:00 pm, I start to feel sick again...and by evening...YUCK!!! I am forcing myself to take a walk every day, however. I was giving in to the sickness and going to sleep at about 6:30 each night. Now, Paul and I take a 2 mile walk each night (whew it wears me out, I am so out of shape!!!) Hopefully, I will be able to get myself back into shape (I gained so much weight trying to get pregnant and when I quit smoking but I haven't gained a pound since I was 4 weeks pregnant!!!) I have been feeling the little peanut kicking for about a week or so now. I wasn't sure about it at first...but now, I feel the little sensations about every day and I know it is the baby. It is really neat. I can't believe I am pregnant. I am so happy.  ~Twenty Weeks~
