18 weeks and 4 days .

As of July 21st , 2010 we found out we're having a BOY ! that little boy that we wished and hoped for.. Scott is so unbelievably excited to be getting a son , as are my parents for getting their first grandson ! I did always wish for a boy but didn't express it much , now I can shout aloud !! I've gotten the question from many many people what his name will be . We are not extremely sure on the middle name yet but we know it's going to be : Holden Ezekiel Strong . Anyhow , just wanted to share that with everyone .

Here's a couple sonogram snaps .

he's weighs about 9 oz right now .

Thank goodness he was sittin' with those legs spread WIDE open !

16 weeks and 5 days .

Had another doctors appointment today , the heartbeat was a lot louder this time . It was at 158 beats , so very normal . Which of course , I'm happy to hear . They keep trying to push the blood tests on me to find out if the baby has any birth defects but I just don't want to do it . I got all my standard blood tests done on Tuesday and everything came out fine , except for my urine sample . I told them from the very beginning at around 10 weeks I had a UTI and they checked and said everything was fine , but I told them I had all the symptoms and they still just told me I was fine . But , this time they got the result and it said I did have the UTI so I've been put on a 7 day antibiotic that will get rid of it . FINALLY someone listens ! Anyways , that'll be nice to finally get that out of my system , it's been pretty painful . On a brighter note , I have a sonogram scheduled for July 21st , and let's all pray that I find out what the sex of the baby is . I've been asked about 87459738423 times what it is , and I'd really like to relieve everyone's minds ! ESP my husband.. he's so eager to find out if he's gonna get his little man , he's wishing for ! :)

That's all I have for now .

I'll be posting next Tuesday night with the result from the sonogram !

STAY TUNED !
