baby {boy} abraham

it's official, we're having a boy! we went to the doctor on October 27th.

i was anticipating a girl (shouldnt have fell victim to the old wives tales. i.e. fast heart rate, carrying high, sick for 5 months) so upon hearing the news of a little boy, i was heartbroken. however, that lasted only a second when i saw his face and heard his heartbeat again. brandon is very excited and is trying to talk me into naming the baby brandon jr. thankfully, he is just joking. the photo in the top left: baby's face, top right: baby's head and fingers, bottom left: baby's foot, and bottom right: baby boy. it was so unreal. i won't see him now until birth, as long as everything goes accordingly. we are just thankful and happy that he is healthy. we had our 24 week doctors appointment on november 25th and i was happy to hear that i have gained 6 pounds. i know, it sounds crazy that i am getting excited over gaining weight, however all i have done since becoming pregnant was lose weight. as of right now i'm 6 months pregnant and up 6 pounds, things are looking good. the baby is growing appropriately as well : ) he has been a very active baby in the last 3 weeks, sleeps during the day and keeps me up all night, its as if he is here already! after weeks of hearing me talk about him moving brandon finally felt him glide across my belly and beat on my tummy !! when asked how it feels my only response is: amazing, because there is nothing like it. i love having this little one inside me growing, i tell brandon every night "i want him to stay in me forever. right now he's safe, he goes everywhere i go, i don't have to worry about him."
