It's a boy!
Brian has been sure of this all along (of course), but we had many friends and family guessing girl. Our little stinker wasn't going to give us a clear view at first, but confirmed it at the very end of the ultrasound.
I am feeling our Biscuit move more and more often, and every time I am in for an appointment or ultrasound I am told he is a wiggle worm! Since Brian and I both have trouble sitting still for too long, I suppose this isn't much of a surprise! I noticed the other day that Biscuit seemed to be moving more when I was singing, which has been fun. I will have to see if this continues to be the case! I also had a staff member at one of my music therapy sessions say I was going to have to get out my guitar and sing my "Hello" song for baby in the middle of the night, since he hears it so often! It may just be the song he knows best!
After a spell of not feeling very hungry, I am ravenous these last couple weeks, craving lots of starchy deliciousness from pasta to donuts. I suppose that is to feed Biscuit's growth, which is happening at a crazy rate right now! This was the first week I had many people comment on my "bump" despite the fact that I've seen it for weeks :-) It has grown a lot in the last week - in fact, I had pain from my belly stretching so fast last weekend!
I am feeling well and enjoying baby preparation! I'm getting antsy to start working on the nursery, but we will have to wait a little longer, as we have a trip planned to the cities in November for some furniture shopping. For now, I am reading books, doing online research, and looking at the many, many options for cribs, carriers, play mats, toys, diaper bags, changing pads, bottles, clothing, monitors, and the list goes on! There are way too many options out there, and so much of it seems so unnecessary or over-the-top to me. If you had any "must have" items for your newborn, I'd love to hear about them!
I'll keep the updates coming as we continue on this adventure! All the best to all of you!
