Yep, you saw that right. I am 19 weeks pregnant. This pregnancy was the surprise of our lives and I have been through so many emotions with it. In the beginning I was in denial. The denial was followed by shock. Shock was followed with guilt and embarrassment. Those lovely feelings are still lying in wait and peek out every now and again. Once I started showing I knew this was for real. I am now feeling the baby move and it is one active baby. Active babies must be my destiny.
This pregnancy has been quite boring compared to the twins{this is a good thing}. Interestingly though I've had more aches and pains. I am already almost 1/2 way and it's flying by.
Our fetal anatomy ultrasound was today. I woke up not feeling excited because I didn't want to get my hopes up that we would actually be able to tell if we were adding a boy or girl to this crew. Matt left the house first and let us know there was a rainbow outside. It was a beautiful, bright rainbow although this picture does it little justice. I will say after seeing this rainbow I had an instant mood lift. Still unable to get excited about the appointment but in a good mood. Maybe we would find that pot of gold after all...
I learned a few interesting things during the ultrasound. 1. The baby is pushing on some type of nerve{explains alot} and 2. The baby thinks my bladder is a trampoline{explains alot}. I saw it's cute little legs that look just like the twins. Little face, arms, heart beating, behind, brain, behind, stomach, behind, spine, behind and sweet hands. My theory was confirmed that this baby is a mover & shaker, moving around the whole time. This baby is also a little stinker ,just like it's sisters(Jade and 1 twin), not showing us a glimpse of gender! The doctor indicated that there would be no more ultrasounds and we should just enjoy the surprise.
We may not have seen what we wanted to at this ultrasound but I saw what I needed to. This pregnancy has been almost like it's not even me going through it and I wasn't sure how to feel. I am now in love with that little baby I saw today, my baby, growing so perfectly inside me. Boy or girl? We may not know till birth.
This is my pot of gold and I am elated.
