It's a....

So we all know by now that

 IT'S A BOY!!!!!!  

As soon as the doctor put the thing on my belly I could already tell it was a boy.  It was that instant!  As he moved the camera around more you could REALLY see the shape of the legs and yup...there is was, plain as day! Here is the picture he got, I still think its pretty obvious but it was even more apparent looking at the live picture.

If you can't tell, its looking at the underside of his bottom and his thighs are aimed to the right and there is it right in the middle!! 100% right??

Now, we truly weren't expecting to find out and we did feel like it was going to be a girl so that is why it took us a little longer to reveal the gender. First, we were a little shocked and then we had to come up with a way to announce it.   We had some ideas for a girl but didn't plan for the boy...guess he showed us!

Thanks again to my friend Brittin for the cute reveal idea!! It was fun taking the picture. I should have videoed James getting Cooper to smile the way he was...it was GREAT!  I will say, J was sad at first. He really wanted a sister but he's 4 and VERY EASY to persuade so he is pretty happy to have another brother on the way.

I must admit, first we were a little sad too that it wasn't a girl but quickly got over it and are now thankful to have a healthy little boy on the way.  Now, coming up with a name is going to be the toughest part! We had a heck of a time with Cooper and thats his name because it's the only one we could both agree on, lol.  Plus, James gave ALL his darn names to J, I gave my maiden name to Cooper so I want to have some family name for this baby too and that's going to be tough to agree on.  Good thing we have a while but know knowing us, we will search day and night until we come up with something we both agree on.

Finally, I took my 16 week picture and to me it looks almost just like the 12 week but I'm posting it anyway =) 

Good thing about having another boy is that we have all the clothes, and stuff for a boy. We will just need a few essentials in the beginning...and anymore new things that have come out that we can't live without =).  
Thanks for all the well wishes and I'll update again in about 4 weeks after my next checkup!!!

Forgotten?

You know how it feels to sit in a room waiting for the doctor for so long you think they've forgotten you? Yep...that was us!  I know my doctor just got back recently from having twins (which are his 4th and 5th kids too)  AND the babies came unexpectedly 6 weeks early so I'm sure he is having a tough time getting back into the routine but GEEZ! We waited in the waiting room for 30 minutes, which really wasnt too bad.  But then we were stuck in the room for a whole HOUR!!!  Our appointement was at 3:30 and we left at 5:30! I love our doctor but really can't stand when I make an appointment and it takes that long to be seen.  Don't tell me you have an appointment available and then I hear someone come in right after me with the exact same appointment time.  I can handle 20-30 minutes off schedule for that long??  Ok, ok enough complaining.

On the way to the appointment James and I decided if the doctor could tell us we would let him. Our doctor was very happy with this news too. Guess he doesnt like keeping it a secret either.  More good news, Ive only gained 5 lbs!! Not bad for 15 weeks.  And I'm still in my regular clothes too, woo hoo!  

On to the ultrasound.....so we found out what we are having...nana nana boo boo you dont know yet! haha!!!  Now, we really werent expecting to find out today so thats why we cant announce it yet.  You know we have to come up with some cute and creative way to give the news no matter what we are having and I have been searching all night and am just not finding much! I do have a few ideas but nothing I'm totally loving right now.  And I cant decide if I want to include J and Cooper in the announcement yet or not so since they are in bed I'll have to wait until tomorrow if we do choose to use them.  Boo, Hiss, I know I hear you!! And its gonna be really tough keeping it in at work tomorrow but dont worry Grammy and Gram...you will be the first to find out so stop stressing =)  

The baby is healthy as can be, measuring right on track and moving like crazy!  It was rolling all around during the ultrasound and karate chopping its arms alot too which was pretty funny!  We did get some good pics so enjoy:

Baby's body, it almost looks like its sucking its thumb.

Close up of the face. Not the best quality.

We go back in 4 weeks and then I assume my doctor will send me to a north Austin office where we will have the detailed ultrasound and they can check all the measurements and organs and baby stats.  

So hold onto your seats for just a bit longer and I promise I'll do my best to get the news out tomorrow. Feel free to share any cute announcement ideas that may get the ball rolling too!  

Wow, it's been a while!

It's been so long since I have posted because I was waiting for my 12 week appointment so I could give a good update and hopefully add sonogram pictures.  However, the day before my appointment, my doctor's wife went into labor with their TWINS, yikes!  So, great news for them but kinda sad I had to miss my appointment.  Turns out, my doctor took paternity leave so the nurse said I could see a doctor at one of their affiliate practices but everything seemed to be fine so there really was no reason to go in and with it such a busy time of year it was hard to find the time anyway. 

 Now I have an appointment for September 17th which is just next week anyway.  With that said, I really don't have any news.  I've been feeling great and am still in my regular clothes! I think I've only gained a pound or 2 so thats great too!  I do have a small baby bump that you can see more at night time so I took my first "belly" pic! Our home computer stinks so darn bad, its taking me forever just to type this small post and it wont even let me upload my pic =( I finally get a school computer back tomorrow so I'll upload it soon, it may make facebook before here so be on the lookout for that! 

Now, a while back my doctor said he would be able to tell the gender at 16 weeks and not wait until 20 and since Ill be 15 1/2 im thinking maybe he can tell already??!! However, I will tell him he has to be absolutely sure or ill just wait until 20 weeks, no big deal.  We originally wanted to have a reveal party and still may but are also now considering just having a fun way to announce using some ideas ive seen on pinterest so yall will just have to wait and see...thats really all i have for you right now.  All is well here in the Moseley home and we are looking forward to getting some exciting news in the near future!
