Gender/Name Reveal

I also forgot to post the pictures of our gender/name reveal with both families! It was really hard to wait to tell them since our ultrasound was Tuesday and we weren't getting together until Friday and Saturday, but I have to say that the pictures and seeing their faces was totally worth it!!!

We went to Raymond's parents house on Friday night. First, we had them get a hershey's kiss out of our bowl and eat it. Raymond's dad quickly figured out that it had an almond in the middle, hence, a baby boy! :)

 Next, we gave them envelopes with all the letters of the first and middle name so they could try to figure out what the name was. Raymond's mom figured this one out quickly! We had lots of fun telling them!!

 

On Saturday night, we went to my grandparents house to share the news with my family. I did not do the hershey kisses because I wasn't sure they would all appreciate the humor :) On the inside of their envelopes, it said "It's a Boy!" so they figured that out first. Then they also put the letters together and my mom was the first one to figure it out!

 

My mom is excited, can't you tell? haha

We really enjoyed spending time with our family and sharing the wonderful news! The most important news, however, was that Wyatt is healthy and developing right on schedule!

Belly Pictures!

I realized that I have not posted any of my belly pictures! I always think I am doing so well and taking them every week, but this is definitely not the case. And the # of weeks changes on Wednesdays when I am in Yukon so all of them are in the mirror since Raymond isn't here.

5 weeks. All bloat, not baby.

11 weeks

13 weeks

14 weeks

16 weeks

19 weeks. I can see a very noticeable difference between 16 and 19 weeks! Wyatt is growing!

I now have people actually notice I am pregnant and ask when I am due. Some ask how far along I am and when I tell them they always ask if it's twins. Lovely. I realize though that I have a small frame and there is nowhere for this baby to go except out!

Ultrasound

We had our 2nd trimester ultrasound today! We now know the gender :) We are waiting to tell everyone until this weekend when we can get together with our families and tell everyone in person!

They took lots of measurements during this ultrasound and everything looks good! Baby was rolling over a lot and we didn't get many good pictures, but that's okay. I am just glad to know baby is healthy!

Also, I weighed myself at the doctor's office and I have gained 10 pounds since the last appointment!! YAY!!! I am so excited about this! It takes some of the stress away to know that I am gaining weight and should be back to an appropriate weight in a week or two!

Nothing else exciting at this appointment! We are so blessed to have a healthy baby! I am still continuing my rotations and I am on track to graduate in May! We keep praying that all continues to go smoothly!

Look for a facebook post Saturday night with the gender!! :D We cannot wait to share our excitement with everyone!

 View from the top of the head looking at the brain.

About the best profile picture we got. Looks like the hand is up by the face.

Baby is rolling over again! So it's back of head, arm, and leg.

The tech switched to 4D for a minute. This is about the best picture we got. Baby is still skinny but looks like a baby!
