I know this post is a little late but we are officially having a boy! On October 6th we had our ultrasound and he was not shy to share his jewels with us. Although we did not get clear pictures printed out because my amniotic fluid was extremely thick. The tech said it is nothing to worry about but to start drinking some powerade to help thin it out. She wanted to reschedule another ultrasound so she can get a better look at all of his organs to make sure he is progressing great. So, on Thursday this week we will have another ultrasound and hopefully have better pictures to post! Reid and I began our name search and knew that the middle name would be Eugene in honor of his grandfather but the first name was a challenge. Reid finally saw things my way :-) and Cooper Eugene McDaniel he is!
Also, we have officially reached 20 weeks! We are halfway there! Things are still going well and I am definitely feeling Cooper move all around, and I love it. I have had a little issue with anxiety popping up every now and again and I just breathe and do my best to not let myself worry about the issue at hand but to focus on my son that I carry inside of me. I am sure many moms go through the what ifs and worries and I am doing my best to just let those thoughts pass. We are headed to Albuquerque this next weekend for a wedding and will be going through all of my nephew's old baby clothes and baby items. We are very thankful to Alice and Todd for saving the items. Here are the weekly questions and my picture.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have definitely gained the last few weeks but still 1 pound down
Maternity Clothes: of course
Gender: BOY! Cooper Eugene McDaniel
Movement: Yep, and I love feeling him
Sleep: It sucks! I wake up about every two hours needing to switch sides because my body just aches after laying on it. I have many many pillows I try to prop myself up but nothing really seems to help other then switching positions, at least I fall back asleep pretty quickly.
What I miss: My boots, now that the weather has cooled off I usually where my boots most days but my feet won't stand for it.
Cravings: I have been craving a hamburger and sweet potato fries for a couple of weeks and yesterday Reid and our friends Stacey and Gabe went to lunch and I loved my burger and fries! I've also been craving salad and for the last few nights we have been eating a salad with our dinner.
Symptoms: some swelling in my hands and feet at the end of the day. Cry when I am tired, cry when I am hungry, cry when...well anytime
Best moment this week: Definitely finding out what we were having and seeing his little face and naming him
And I have to leave you with a cartoon I found in the newspaper a few weeks ago and I had to cut it out. I told Reid this will be our son four or five years from now:
