I had a couple people ask me if I wanted to find out. I gave them a blank stare. Why wouldn't I want to find out? I know some people live for the suspense and excitement of not finding out until the birthdate but just knowing that we're having a baby is way too much for me to handle. The technology is there so why not take advantage of it. Back in the day when it didn't exist, people were holding threads and needles over a pregnant woman's baby bump, trying to see how and what way it would move just to come up with a guess of what the baby would be. So of course I want to know!
I'm still stuck on the idea of having a baby girl. I have no idea why but its a feeling I can't shake. My wife seemed to agree with me up until a few days ago. All of a sudden, she now has a feeling that we might have a boy. Maybe there's more to these feelings we have. Maybe this gut feeling won't go away because its what we secretly want! From what I've seen, children are almost always attached more to their parent of the opposite gender, hence the terms Momma's Boy and Daddy little girl, right? I can totally see that though If we had a girl, her daddy would spoil her rotten and if we had a little boy he'd stick to his mommy like there ain't no tomorrow!
So many of you know my wife and I do Crossfit and before you freak out and think that pregnant woman shouldn't do those workouts let me say that the workouts are scaled down or changed to accommodate her by a professional. Anyways, we recently took a 2 week hiatus from crossfit due to work and our mini weekend vacation so when we went back it kicked our butts bad! My shoulders were killing me and I felt like throwing up (I blame it on the heat and humidity wink..wink). But my wife's experience was also different. The baby is now the size of a sweet potato and her uterus is the size of a cantaloupe. So while she's squatting, jumping, and burpeeing it up, there's a little sweet potato inside a cantaloupe, inside her belly moving with her. Something else thats interesting is that her body is pumping more blood into her system to nourish and help the baby grow. She's working out harder and doesn't even realize it, so props to her for sticking with it. This is the first time she's felt actually pregnant while working out which is another testament to how fast the baby is growing and that's a great feeling because my wife isn't showing as much but we know the growth is there.
Changing the subject, have you guys heard of Vine? It's a social media app like Instagram but it uses short 10 to 15 second videos. I heard of some people using ot and curiosity got the best of me and I decided to check it out. There are some really funny and creative short videos there. I found a hilarious father/daughter duo on ther by the username of Eh Bee, check them out. I'm on there too under Adrian Loera if you guys want to look me up. Maybe I can upload a video of the ultrasound on Wednesday. Thanks for checking in.
