Seriously, every morning when I wake up and try to turn over to snooze the alarm....(it is becoming difficult to turn over, sit up, hoist myself up).....it's like a new realization every day of ....oh, that's right! I am bigger than my usual self....unable to turn over well....because....there's a baby growing inside me. Still so surreal! Next week, we will have a scheduled ultrasound. The last one I had was at 8 weeks so I am excited to see what this little baby looks like now that it is no longer resembles a kidney bean. Next week would be the week we could find out if this baby is a boy or a girl...but we will be passing on that option and will choose to wait until October instead.
I confess, however, that I envision having a boy. When I picture this baby, I picture a little boy..... a boy wearing a cute little Cubs baseball cap and toddling around in little khakis and polo shirts one day. So, I realized the other day that I really should begin to envision a little girl, too....because really, it could very well be a little girl! And in all fairness to this baby, I should begin to love it for who he or she may be. :) Seriously, I would love either a boy or a girl....but both our families are not well- populated in the boy department so it would be nice to mix it up a bit. :)
All in all, we are getting more excited at the prospect of meeting this little baby....but it still seems so completely surreal that "this baby" is going to be our son or daughter...and that we will be their mommy and daddy. Surreal and unreal, but I am sure the reality of all this will begin to sink in more in the next 20 weeks. :)
