Girl or Boy? Or to be determined???

So since we have decided not to find out the gender of our blossoming baby, both Pete and I have been having dreams. My gut is telling me boy, but in the only dream where the gender has been revealed it was a girl. All the other baby dreams, I can never tell - no pink, no blue and no gender specific clothing either.

Pete had a dream he actually remembered. He woke up frantic that it was indeed a boy - a boy with freckles! Well, after he calmed down when we decided that was near impossible, I asked if the baby boy had dark hair or if we had a ginger on our hands. And he said dark hair. We shall see!

Time is flying by! Our next doctor's appointment is a little over two weeks away and the ultra sound is about 2 1/2 weeks away. And we have Thanksgiving in between. I think the 2nd trimester is going to be a blur!

Bulking Up

We had our 16 week appointment last week and I am definitely starting to bulk up. The doctor reports that I have gained 5 pounds, but my count is closer to 3.5 (I really think we are splitting hairs at this point). I have been getting my energy back and have been able to start working out again. Although it's nothing close to what I was doing before, I still feel much better when I am able to do the EFX or walk for 30 minutes or so.

The doctor said I was measuring well and we were able to schedule our ultrasound. Pete chose the date to have it on his birthday and we are very excited to see photos. We tried to have it put in our file that we didn't want to find out and the nurse doing the scheduling said they would "see what they could do." We were surprised at that response and questioned them further. And she just said it depended on the position of the baby and how well we could read the photos. Hopefully our little one is a tad bit sneeky at this point!
