Told you I couldn't wait!  We went to Peek a Belly tonight to see what is going on in this belly!  The place was so cool.  The room had 2 large screen tv's in it, a few seats and a recliner.

I popped up on the table and we went right too it.  She turned the sound on to hear the heartbeat.  Kailey was amazed!  We got a teddy bear with the baby's heartbeat in it for her.  It's super cool.

The tech was having a hard time seeing the gender since the baby's booty was up in the air.  The feet were over the head and was doing all kinds of moving around.  When she had a good picture, she told us we could video Kailey's reaction and after we hit record, she said "You're having a brother!"

She then turned over to the 4D which was wild!  We could see the baby's face and his arm was moving like crazy.  He was so active!

I got a little emotional but not as much as when we found out about Kailey.  I think because I thought it was a boy all along but am so excited.  When we left, Rob said that he thought he would have been more emotional but all he could think was, "What can I have for dessert tonight?"

So now we know and can start buying clothes and all other blue things that we need. It's still is sinking in :)

What a weird dream!  Last night I had a dream that at 4 months pregnant, I went into labor.  I started at the doctors office and somehow magically ended up in the hospital.  Dr Mauro was there to deliver.  He pulled the baby out and said, "do you want to know the sex?"  He says that it's a boy and shoves the baby back inside me and says we need to wait longer to deliver.  When I shove, I mean looks like he has a football in his hand and throws it back in!

So now I am convinced it's a boy.  I had a dream with Kailey too.  I was in bed and it's like my belly just unzipped, she popped out and said that I was going to be a good mommy and then back inside.  I am thinking it was probably even around this same time.  I'll have to go back and look at her blog that I kept. 

I am getting super anxious so we may end up at Peek a Belly in Lockport to see what this baby is!

Today was my monthly check up with Dr. Mauro.  It was super quick!  He asked how I was doing and listened to the babies heart beat which was at 150.  I asked him if I should be this big already and he just kinda laughed and said I was measuring normal.  Instead of 4 months, I feel about 6 months pregnant!

Still feeling the same. Heartburn once in awhile but not too bad, get a little queasy here and there and still am having a hard time with cooking meat and eating some meat.

I bought a few new shirts for work since over the holiday break I wore a lot of tshirts and hoodies and didn't realize that a lot of my shirts didn't fit very well.

The doctor said I have 3 more weeks until doing my next ultrasound but I am getting really anxious!  We may be visiting Peek A Belly sooner than later!

Kailey has been so sweet about the baby.  She will come up and kiss my belly or tell me how much she loves my belly.   She talked about the baby and how it will be a boy or a girl.  Well kiddo, I hope so!  She tells me the baby is growing up in my belly and will stretch her arms out really wide and will tell me it will get this big!  I have to bring her arms in and show her how big the baby will really be :)

Kailey has been all about this baby lately.  I told her that she can talk to the baby and that they will know her voice when the baby comes.  She thought that was so cool and has been saying "hi baby!" to my belly a lot.  She keeps talking about how the baby is small and is growing up in my belly. 

We, ok... me, also decided to put out on Facebook that we are expecting.  We posted this picture to tell everyone :)

Not much new has been happening.  Morning sickness is slowly going away  I just have a day here and there that isn't so great.  And still having a hard time with meat.  I have also been sick for almost 2 weeks with a nasty sinus infection which has left me with a horrible cough.  Besides all that - feeling great :)


I went to my monthly appointment today.  I was supposed to see Dr. Fitzgibbon but she was at a delivery so I met Dr. Egan and had my appointment with him.  I told him about my cold and was surprised that I could take a Z-Pack so this cold should be gone very soon.  He checked the baby's heartbeat and it was 156.  So everything is looking good.  Our next appointment is January 10th.

Yesterday in my weekly meeting I told my boss that I was pregnant.  Once I broke the news to him I told some of my co-workers today.  I think they may have been more excited than some of our family members!  There were screams and cheers everywhere!  It's nice to let them in on it so I can finally talk about it!   Just waiting for Rob to tell some of his friends and then make a public announcement to anyone else : )

Today was the big reveal!  We stopped by my dad's house first.  I didn't think he would notice Kailey's shirt so we also brought along her Big Sister book.  I had her show him and he reads the title and looks at me and says, "you're pregnant?"  Yup.  After some congratulations, we moved on to Rob's family.

When we go to his aunt's house, we were bummed to see that his mom wasn't there.  She was sick.  Rob went into another room and called her and gave her the news.  Kailey walked in with her big sister shirt on and no one noticed.  We even sat through dinner and no one said a word.  I told Rob that he was going to have to say something soon.  So again, we brought out the book.  Lori was trying to see it and says, "I'm a Big" and then stopped.  Kailey turned and she couldn't read it.  Later we had her show Jim.  Jim read out loud, "I'm a Big Sister" and then moved on.  He had no clue what he even said out loud.  Rob and I just laughed.  Finally I told Kailey to show Lori her new book and she reads it and looks at me like I am crazy.  We all had a good laugh that we had been there for 2.5 hours and no one noticed!

I guaranteed Rob that it wouldn't take my family long at all.  We came in and Kailey went right to the bedroom to play.  Pam came in and asked to see her shirt but with all the toys in her hands, she couldn't read it.  After about 10 minutes, Kailey went out to the living room and GiGi came in to say hi to her and says, "let me read your shirt."  She had a hard time reading the Fairy Happy To Be so I read that and then she saw the bottom and her jaw kinda dropped.  She was so excited so then everyone came over to see her shirt.  Took my family a few minutes.  At least we know who is more observant.  : )
