22 weeks and 2 days!

It's a...

BOY!!!

I posted it on Facebook, but forgot to put it on here (duh!) so, sorry to anyone left wondering. It's kinda strange how all along I have felt like this baby was going to be a boy. The only thing that made me second guess myself was that the day of the ultrasound I had a dream that I was having twin girls for a friend of mine (who, mind you, just had a baby girl 8 weeks ago! Sorry, Erin, I wouldn't wish that upon you at this moment in time!) and when I woke up I thought, "Hmmm...maybe it is a girl?" But, nope! If you could see the ultrasound pic (which some of you have) you'd see there's definitely no denying it! lol This little guy is half Italian... ;)  That may be a little inappropriate, but I couldn't resist!

This is the time I love...

This point in pregnancy is probably one of my favorite times because I'm just big enough that people can tell I'm pregnant (or most anyways; there may still be a few who wonder if I'm just a little rounder in the middle.), but not hugely uncomfortable, I'm well into the second trimester, so my energy level has returned to near normal, and I'm feeling lots of movement. I feel great! I secretly love the attention my pregnant belly gets...shhh, don't tell :) It makes for good conversation, especially this time around. As I've said before, I love sharing this experience with my family and friends...and the odd friendly stranger or two.

If any of you out there has ever thought about being a surrogate or are just more curious about the whole process, please feel free to ask me. I'd love to point you in the right direction to start your journey :)
