It's a boy!!!

Of course it was... who would have thought differently :) Kayden James will be here sometime at the end of September! He was being quite stubborn today for the ultrasound tech. He had been moving all morning and I told Nick that he was not going to move at all when we went to the appointment. Luckily it was not hard for her to find his "boy parts" but for all the other pictures she was trying to get... he would not budge! She was shaking and poking and prodding, to the point I almost felt like I was going to throw up. He finally moved a little for her and then he stretched out his leg really long! She said everything looked great! I have a placenta that is on the top of my stomach (an interior placenta or something like that) which is why I had just recently been able to feel him move. I was really worried for a while because most people had said that they felt the baby move for the first time around 16 or 17 weeks, but I hadn't really started to feel him until this past week, and then I still really wasn't sure it was him. He has become more active over the past couple of days and I can tell that it's him now though. She said that because of the positioning of the placenta, he was most likely kicking that to where I wouldn't be able to feel it and that he finally moved recently to where he is not kicking that. It was hard for her to get a profile to because any time he turned his head he would hit the placenta so she really couldn't get a clear profile picture, but there is one that I can definitely tell is a head and a nose :) He's pretty cute if I do say so myself!... 20 more weeks to go until we meet the little guy! I can't wait!
