I got my ultrasound today!!! It was really cool. When I first found out I was pregnant, it was weird because I didn't feel pregnant at all. I still don't feel pregnant. I'm getting bigger, but not showing or anything. I have had minimal symptoms. Sometimes I've wanted to take a pregnancy test just to make sure I'm still pregnant, because that's really been the only proof. The ultrasound definitely makes it very real. I could see the proof, my baby, kicking and moving. I have the pictures, and I can't stop looking at them. You can totally tell it's a baby. Those who have been through it know what I'm talking about. I can't really describe how weird it is. It has upped my excitement by like a million percent.
We can know the gender next month. Owen and my mom are CONVINCED it will be a girl. Owen even refers to it as a she. I wanted to wait until the birth, but I don't want to think it's a girl for 9 months if it's really a boy. I will feel like I know it more if I at least know if it's a girl or boy. If that makes sense.
My doctor also said that he might move my due date to August 10 instead of the 3rd. He would know more next ultrasound. I have NO IDEA when my last period was (I know, it's awful). I know I got it at the end of October or beginning of November, but I can't for the life of me remember when. So I was sort of guessing when I told him the first time. I could very well have gotten it a week later. Then I got really paranoid. What if the baby is just really undersized because I'm not eating right? What if it's a midget? I can't help it, it stresses me.
Hey, at least I'm not having twins. I have no idea what my reaction would have been to that. Probably not good.
