17 week Baby Update

Ok, so it's been a while since I posted about this little one baking in my belly. But, I am getting really excited about him. Did you catch that? I said him.... YIPPEE!! Carlos wanted a little son so bad, and here I'm bakin one for him, LOL. Now I found out at 17 weeks that this was a boy. I am so scared that I am going to go to another ultrasound (like this Thursday) and they will tell me it looks like a girl. I will scream. So, I have come up with a name, ready, here we go, Greyson Carlos. So, what do you think? I know it's different, and that's what I love about it. I don't want a name that's common. And so there we have it. Greyson Carlos is due in September but I'm sure he will be here some time in August. We haven't really been doing much to prepare for Greyson, mainly because I wanted another confirmation that it is a Greyson and not a Gretchin, LOL. I couldn't take that excitement back from his papa, Carlos. So, This Thursday we will post again telling you how our anatomy screening went. Last week I had some blood work done to make sure there isn't any brain or spine defects, all was good there!! That is exciting. You don't realize how scary that is until you are waiting for the results. OK, I am done rambeling, and I will post more later!!

7 Week Ultrasound

Well today I nervouslly went to my ultrasound thinking I was 8 weeks pregnant, but shortly after I got there I found out I was 7 weeks pregnant. This really doesn't matter to me, because for one, it's only a week, and for two, I'm pregnant!!! After 2 years of trying, I can finally say I'm pregnant. I was very nervous to go to the ultrasound because 2 weeks before I had an ultrasound only to see nothing. I was devastated, but it was too early and just didn't know it. So, today I almost expected to hear that nothing was growing and no fetus was inside. Welp, that's not the case at all. I have a 1.25 cm piece of rice in my tummy called a baby. I got to see and hear the heartbeat and I of course had tears in my eyes. I couldn't beleive that something so small could actually have a beating heart. And at the rate of 170 beats per minute. When I called all my family and friends I was told I was probably having a girl because the heart beat was so fast!!!! Wouldn't I be happy. OK, so I of course will be ecstatic with either, as long as it's healthy, I am ready! So, that's all for my 7 week ultrasound. I'm not having another one until I am 18-20 weeks. What a long time to wait!!! But, I can make it. I waited this long.
