It's a...

BOY! All my thinking pink and it's really been BLUE the whole time! So now the fun can begin...I have had the nursery all planned in my head for either sex and since it's already painted a robin egg blue color at least I don't have to worry about that!
No mistaking it below that we have a little boy!!

The OB is pleased with my progress thus far. Baby Boy is growing ahead of schedule this last visit, almost a whole week! No talk though of pushing the due date sooner though. Everything looked GREAT on the ultrasound and the doctor said that, "The glass is full!" In which me meant that both Mom and baby are doing great. My morning sickness is not completely gone, but I am only taking the Zofran in the morning now instead of 3x a day. He also stated that I am half way there...when I think about that it's really kinda scary that to think in less than 20 weeks I will have a little baby. When I asked the doctor if 36 weeks is still the goal, he said yes and actually anywhere from 34-36 weeks is prime. It will all depend on me and what my pulmonary hypertension decides to do. The critical point starts at 28 weeks, this is when the circulatory system is at it's peak and my heart will be working it's hardest. If things are going to get difficult it will start then. He also stated when Dr. Soto my pulmonologist says it's time to go, it's time. I am hoping though that it will be closer to 36 weeks rather than 34 so the chances of the baby having to spend time in the NICU will be less. So if I can make it to 36 weeks, that means that today is my official half way point since I am 18 weeks today! I am starting to feel the activity in my belly more now and Eric is extremely anxious to feel him kick! He unfortunately has a few more weeks before that can happen, until then only Mom gets to feel his presence!
