oh the hormones!

Everything is still going really well with the pregnancy. I have been informed recently that I have been more emotional and hormonal than I have ever been. I didn't know this until I was told by my friends and hubby. We had a checkup this week and everything is great. We heard the heartbeat again at the appointment and the heartrate was 157. Good number! The bad number...the one on the scale! The nurse said my weight was good, but I beg to differ. 18 lbs!! I have gained 18 lbs in 17 weeks! If this keeps up I will be a house by the time this baby is born! That is why the picture is not my best...I was upset/hormonal/emotional/whatever. After having a conversation with my mom, who stated when she was pregnant with me she gained a whole 21 lbs total, confirmed to me that she thinks I am having a boy as well. I have heard from other friends who said they gained more with their boys than with their girls. August 1st we have an ultrasound. Or rather, "The Ultrasound", where we are able to find out the gender. Initially we were not going to find out, but our curiosity is getting the better of us. Keep checking back...as in 2 weeks we may be able to if our little bundle of joy will prefer pink or blue!
