Halfway there!!

This week marked the halfway point in my pregnancy. It seems like such a long time, yet it has gone so fast. This was a very good week for us. We finally got to have our ultrasound. I had been anxiously waiting for this and bothering Dean constantly with how excited I was. He on the other hand was quite calm and collected about the whole thing. It was amazing!! At first, I couldn't really tell what the doctor was looking at and figured it would probably all look like black fuzz. I didn't really get why people got so excited. But once he was able to find the baby's face and hands it was really clear and easy to see. The doctor said that Bo cooperated really well during the whole thing and he got to see all he needed. We got to see Bo waving and kicking. The heartbeat was good and everything looks healthy. We were able to see whether Bo is a boy or girl, of course we aren't telling. That is probably the hardest thing to do. We have to avoid the he/she words when talking about Bo and have found it hard not to just blurt it out. We made the decision to wait and so we are. Nothing has really changed for me as far as foods or anything. I ate a donut a day as a treat for drinking all my water. Other than that no particular cravings. An aversion to McDonalds has developed, which I know Dean is happy about. We are really looking forward to this second half of pregnancy. As long as Bo is healthy and growing we will be happy.
