Baby updates! And a little confusion....

Wowwwwzers! This has been quite the ride for me so far! All this pregnancy talk, hormones, sickness, and just my feelings in general are about the weirdest thing I have ever experienced! But I won't get into all of that, here is a little update on The Nugget! (My little brother started calling it "The Nugget" right after we told him I was pregnant and apparently it stuck because since then that is what my whole family has been calling this babe!) At 12 weeks we went in and were able to hear the heartbeat! Before going in to hear it I had talked to a few friends and family about it and everyone said "oh it's the best sound ever!" or "I totally cried the first time I heard the heartbeat, it was amazing!" Want to know what I said when the Dr. found that quick little beat and said, "well-that's your little baby ticking inside of you! 160 beats per minute, perfectly normal" my response, "WHOA...WEEEEEEEEIRRRRRRRRDDDDD! It's alive! That is so WEIRD! My body is growing another little body inside of it....weird!" Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved hearing my sweet little baby's heartbeat, and it is an amazing thing, but if you think about it, it's sort of a weird thought! But it definitely made things a little more real. I say a little, because it honestly didn't really hit me that there was really something in there until I actually SAW it on the first ultrasound that I had (that's a story in itself lol.) We (Me, Jord, and my mother in law) went in last Monday when I was exactly 14 weeks, because I have heard from a lot of people that you can go in for an early ultrasound at that time, and a lot of times they can tell the sex of the baby. So we go into the physicians plaza over at the hospital and got my first real look at my baby- which by the way is adorable and doesn't look like an alien anymore, just like a tiny real little baby- anyway, after trying to get this little Nug to open it's legs for about 20 min, the ultrasound tech finally got a quick glimpse and told me she was 85% sure it was a girl. A huge smile goes across Jordan's face (despite the fact that he told me 5 minutes before the ultrasound that I had almost talked him into wanting a boy.) And although I was excited to see my babe for the first time, and although I had a feeling it was going to be a girl, I couldn't help but be a little bit disappointed because I was really hoping for a boy! So as we are walking out to the car Jord says "I feel bad.... I can tell that you are disappointed!" And I was trying to say, No- I'm not disappointed, a girl will be fun too....But what came out of my mouth was, "Yeah, cuz I wanted a BOY!!!!" Oops. But over the next two days I converted my mind and became ok with the thought that I was having a girl. Then, long story short.....my brother got me into the actual ultrasound department at the hospital for another early ultrasound (not the physicians plaza, the actual hospital) three days after I had the first ultrasound. Guess what the US tech said to me? "Well, what does that look like to you?" Me: "A weenie!" Him, "Yep, I think you are having a little boy!" My eyes welled up with tears- and NO, I'm not usually emotional....so that means I must have been really excited! Me: "Wait....how sure are you??" Him "Well since you are only 14 weeks, I'm not allowed to say 100%, but I will say 94%, hows that?" SOOOOOOOOOOO the moral of the story is this: I have no idea if this little nugget is a boy or a girl, but now I'm leaning (and hoping) towards BOY. BUT....I was also convinced for two days that I was having a girl, so that would be fine too. Let's just hope it's one or the other lol! When I get home from Hawaii (yes I am in paradise for the next ten days, AHHHHH) I will be 16 1/2 weeks, and by then I should for sure be able to find out what I'm having, so until then the beach will have to be my distraction!
