It has been a while since I posted any information about the pregnancy and how things are going! Since I found out I was pregnant in January, it has been NONE STOP! Driving to Savannah 2 nights a week for class, working fulltime and being pregnant (in the first trimester, too!) has been very draining and all I want to do is SLEEP! I'm exhausted, but through the Lord's mercy, it has gotten much better.
After Lucas and I started looking about baby items and deciding what 'things' we were going to need, we realized how many items were NOT gender-neutral. I started to get more stressed about not finding out, but Lucas was pretty set on not finding out the gender of our child in utero. I was really going back and forth about finding out and not finding out...and after everyone (and I do mean everyone) gave me their opinion about what we should do, I was leaning more towards finding out the gender. Lucas still wasn't convinced! I don't think it was until we were looking at pacifiers at Target and I said, "Lucas, would you like pink/yellow or blue/green?" that he realized that it was getting increasingly more difficult to remain gender-neutral if he wanted his wife to minimize her stress level and to be "prepared" for the baby.
On May 11th, we were scheduled to have our ultrasound in Jacksonville (thank you, BCBS!) and would be the first (and maybe only) opportunity for us to find out the gender of our baby. When the ultrasound technician asked us if we knew what we were having, I answered 'no'. She didn't ask if we wanted to know, but I waited a minute to see if Lucas was going to say anything and he didn't.... and so it was decided! :)
We're having a BOY!! We haven't decided on a name yet, but hopefully that will be coming soon! The actual ultrasound pictures are better, but here are some pictures of our little guy.
