Our Pee-Nut is a boy! We had the sonogram this morning and discovered that our Baby Pee indeed does have a pee-pee. We're super excited at the news, and I was happy to find out that he's growing right on track and looks great. He's measuring 20w 2d (our guess was 20w 5 d which is within the 3-day window they like to see) and his heart rate is 150 (which is right in the middle of the desired 120 to 180). We got to see lots of detail in the sonogram (head, hands, feet, spine, bladder, etc), and he even punched my uterus while we were watching to say hello.
My guess was right after all -- although I did have a 50/50 chance of getting it wrong or right -- but I'm pretty sure I won't have any more opportunities to find out whether every pregnancy really is that different from one another; I'll just have to go with my hypothesis that I felt one way with a girl and another with a boy. :)
As for me, I gained three pounds from my last appointment, but I'm only up 1 pound during this pregnancy. My vitals are good, and I'm feeling good. Dr. Jaffee says she's happy with my weight gain (or lack thereof) so far and there's not really much we can do about my right hip that's already starting to ache (I have to knock it when I stand up so that I can walk) except to try and sleep on my left-side more to take the weight off of it.
There is definitely no disguising the pregnancy at this point, but I'm also not wanting to. James has noticed that I'm wearing more "I'm pregnant" clothes this pregnancy versus my "hide the belly" clothes last one; lucky someone should call dibs on all the Japanese Weekend clothes I got this time around! James spoke up during the appointment to ask about my protein intake -- I don't eat much meat -- and Dr. Jaffee says that I should try and work in some type of protein at every meal but that dairy (including cheese, yogurt, and milk) count as my protein citing that lots of vegetarians have very healthy babies. Yum, cheese!
I'll post sonogram pictures, and I also owe an update on our Anniversary Trip / Babymoon in DC, so check back soon!
