It's a.......

I have been so so so needing to update my blog, but very very busy over the past weeks.

Anyways, Jon and I were able to find out about 3 weeks ago what we are having and we couldn't be more excited and happy....

Its a.............
BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jon and I are elated and feeling so blessed. Blessed that the sonar tech said everything looked perfect. That was our MAIN and ONE concern that HE was healthy.

Baby boys have always had a special place in my heart and always MELT my heart. After working in the nursery I found that the boys are easier than little girls.
Having older brothers always made me want boys first as well. Just knowing they were there for me always was something so special. (and at times a little annoying-HA!)
And then there is Kemp. The moment I laid eyes on my precious nephew I was in love with him. (of course my other nieces and nephews as well!!) But something about being in the delivery room when he was born, made us have a special connection. I'll never forget some of my first words after seeing him is "HE makes me want ONLY boys!"

Jon of course is thrilled of the idea being at the ball park and doing all things boys! :) He would always say "I think its a girl", but I think he kept telling himself that so he wouldn't be disappointed if it wasn't a boy. When we found out, my heart melted over Jon's excitement. He was beyond happy and hasn't stopped smiling since the day we found out and I haven't either!

We have decided to use family names for our sweet little boy. We are going to name him Terry Carter after both of our dads and will call him Carter. We are so excited to finally be able to call our angel boy by his name!

Carter is definitely growing and I definitely have a bump. I love looking down and seeing it. I can't help but smile. And, I felt him move for the first time a few days ago and it was amazing. Jon is definitely ready to be able to feel him move. The doctor said it wouldn't be to to much longer until he could feel him as well!

I am so thankful that at my last appointment my blood pressure had gone down and was back to normal. It had been high but my doctor did assure me that preclampsia could NOT happen until after 20 weeks. HUGE relief and something that did worry me ever since my last appointment. I am also very thankful that the morning sickness has FINALLY gone away. My mom told me just the other day that Carter must be going to be a sweet baby since he was giving me all that trouble for a bit. HA. :)

Anyways, I guess thats all for now!

To my sweet CARTER BOY,
I could not be more thrilled to know you are a healthy boy! I keep imagining what you are going to look like and wonder if you will look more like your daddy, more like me or a good combo. For your sake, I hope you look like your daddy.
I already love you more than words can explain. It has been fun buying you little gowns and getting things monogrammed with your name on it.
I love you and can't wait for April to get here!
Love always,
Mommy

Here are some pictures of me at 19 weeks.
