Will it be a Boy or a Girl?

The big ultrasound is nearly here, although it feels like it can’t come soon enough for me. Friday morning we’ll (hopefully) find out whether it’s a little boy or girl that has been kicking me. Yep, I can feel the little flutters and movements! Nothing has been strong enough yet for Nick or the boys to feel, but I suspect it won’t be much longer now. I’ll be 18 weeks along tomorrow!

Some of you have noticed the little poll on the right hand side of your screen and have voted already. Considering the number of hits I get per day though, I know there are many more people left to vote! So what do you think? Will I finally get the little girl I long for or will it be another wild boy? Or, will the baby mess with us and not let us see?

Pregnancy Similarities:

The extent of my “morning sickness” was just nausea.

Pregnancy Differences:

I’ve been having headaches a lot this second trimester. Some of them have been vicious migraines (enough to make me physically ill). Thankfully the doctor prescribed something to help with the really bad headaches.

Not many “cravings” yet to speak of, where as by this point with the boys I had already craved tacos (from Taco Bell) and meatballs in a pretty bad way.

Zero heartburn yet (although I probably just jinxed that for myself).

Heart Rates:

First ultrasound at 9 weeks – HR of 180

HR at doctor’s appointment at 13 weeks – HR 165

I have no clue what the boys’ HR’s were. I think I was too distracted with all the tripletness to notice!

Vote!

And don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you if you vote “blue” 😉
