UPDATE: 7/09/08-- We had another sonogram today! the 20 week one. We took the eldest with us, our boy was visiting friends out of town. For almost 1 hour, we got to see our new little one and all of HIS parts. she even gave us two 3d/4d pictures, which we didn't even expect. all and all we got another 11 pictures! It was great to see his little hands and fingers, his legs and toes, and his privates. We will have another scan on 8/14 because he wouldn't turn over so we could really see his heart chambers. The doctor said there was nothing to worry about, they saw everything and everything is normal. She said we could have the scan if we wanted or not.

UPDATE: 6/26/08---This is our sonogram day! We loaded up the kids, 20 year old daughter, 15 year old son and headed to the doctors office to find out the sex of this baby. We were all so happy and excited. With everyone surrounding me, the tech covered me in gel and started the scan. Within the first 2 minutes, we were sure that we are adding a boy to the mix, but as we went on, for the next 15 minutes, the little bugger covered its parts, so we didn't get a real clear picture. Oh, how frustrating. the tech jiggled and tossed this baby around, it stretched out and turned over, but kept its hand over its parts and hide. So, we have the 20 week scan scheduled on 7/9/08 and hopefully my prize will be legs open wide. Unfortunetly, my son won't be there, he is going to visit a friend out of state, but my daughter will be there, she wouldn't miss it.

UPDATE: 6/5/08---Well we are over 14 weeks along and I am feeling movement. The m/s has mostly gone, it just rears its ugly head once in a while. We had the 1st trimester screening done on May 27, and it was stressful; but great to see our love child actually inside me. It was moving and turning and sucking its thumb or hand. We got some pretty good pictures and the doctor was very friendly. The sonogram tech was a doorknob. She didn't have any personality whatsoever. but we made it through. We recieved the final results the other day and our chance of D/S is 1:1500 and the others stuff is 1:3000, so we are feeling pretty good.

We have our next appointment at the end of June, meanwhile, I am getting a fetal doppler to enjoy the heartbeat at home and am really going to enjoy all of the movement I am feeling. I am also going to relax and take it easy this summer.

My husband is the best. He is really taking care of me and will not let me lift a finger. While this is nice, it is a little annoying. but he means well and I decided to enjoy it rather than fight it. Can't beat them join them?!

UPDATE: 5/4/08---I can't believe that it has been 5 weeks since I found out that we are having another baby. Things have been great, other than all of the all day sickness, but at least that is lessening a whole lot now. I feel pretty good, other than the bloating and mood swings. My husband is having all of the same symptoms, but he is eating way more than I am and he is way moodier than me. Everyone is still excited and waiting for time to go by. We decided to find out what gender this baby is when the time come, well, actually, I was outvoted. I never found out for the other 2 but all want to know. I think it is easier to know nowadays ahead of time because I have been shopping and you really can't find too much gender neutral items in the store. and I don't want everything either yellow or green.

We are so excited! I just turned 40 and found out on April fools day that we are expecting. This will be my third child, I have a 19 year old and a 15 year old. This will be my husbands first child. He is 40 also. It was quite a surprise but wow what a blessing. We are full of laughter and love in this house.
