What you've all been waiting for... and pregnancy highlights

Well I'm sad to say our sneak peak didn't go as planned. Little strawberry was carrying the cord between his/her legs so it was VERY hard to rule out pink or blue. Little stinker!!! She did check for blood flow and since the line between strawberry's legs did detect blood flow, we couldn't make a decision whether or not boy or girl. Or more specifically, we couldn't rule out penis or cord. Ugh. I guess this is what I get for trying to find out earlier than scheduled. :) Deep down I'm feeling boy, though.

We DID get pictures. Yay. I have scanned them in and added notes to them so you can tell what everything is. We'll start with little strawberry's sweet little heart beat. He/she was beating it up fast at 165 beats per minute.... (You might have to click on the pictures to enlarge them to be able to read my notes)

Sweet little picture of his/her heart

Face, Arms & Hands

Strawberry's sweet little profile. You can see his/her face really well here.

And what we've all been waiting for.....

Cord... or... penis....

Here, I have added a square around the legs and what's in between....

And here, I have added arrows and notes so you can make it out better.

Sooo.... What do ya'll think? It's kind of long to be a penis but for some reason my gut is still feeling boy. Which... would be A-OK with me. Seeing that heart beating 165 beats per minute is what makes me smile the most!!! :)

Anyways, today I am...

[no picture this week, remember, every other week]

15 Weeks

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

How Far Along: 15 weeks

Size of baby: The website I googled said baby is currently the size of an apple.

 Total Weight Gain/Loss: Honestly, I haven't weighed this week. I will find out Friday at my doctor's appointment

Maternity Clothes: I have worn a couple things. I am still fitting into most of my regular clothing as well. 

Gender: Little strawberry was being a little difficult during or sneak peak so we aren't sure. My gut says boy though!

Movement: Still not feeling any movement

What I miss: I miss NOT feeling sick, I miss NOT gagging, I miss energy, I miss my clear face(it's so broke out) and most of all, I miss sleep!

Cravings: Seafood. I'm only supposed to have 12 oz. of fish/shrimp a week and for some reason I am wanting it every day. I did the same thing when I was preggers with Tuff.

Symptoms: Exhaustion, nausea, gagging and acne.
Best Moment this week: Seeing little strawberry on the big screen last night! :) And of course getting pictures to bring home and look at too. I haven't been able to quit looking at them. Can't wait to see his or her precious face in August.

Hope ya'll are having a great week!!!
