Baby Update 3
About a month and half ago I had dreamt that Jim and I went to our doctor for our "official ultrasound"... and in the dream our doctor stepped out of the room and left the monitor on and Jim and I saw on the screen that we were having a boy.I tried to ignore this dream because I truly wanted a girl... To be honest... boys and there penis scare me. I don't know what to do with a boy so I just blocked the dream from my mind... Then a few weeks later Mom called to let me know that she and Sarah had decided that we were having a boy, basically because I haven't been sick... that was their theory. I just told them someone would be right and we'd find out sooner or later.
Last Friday was our official ultrasound and it was there that it was reconfirmed from my dream that we are having a baby boy. I was a bit shocked... just because I still had a bit of hope for a girl but deep down I had known it was a boy. After the technician left the room, Jim told me he really had been holding out for a boy. I was so happy to hear him say that I started to cry... we both initially thought it was a girl and had tossed a couple of names around but had always known, if it was a boy, that his name would be Xander James. We are both so very happy!
So little Xander will be born at the end of November or beginning of December and we both have a sense of peace now that we know our baby is a boy. Jim and I went right to the fabric store and picked out some cute monkey fabric so I could get started on a baby rag quilt.
Then last night... Jim laid on my belly and little Xander moved for me for the first time. Basically he moved because there was no room for him with Jim laying up against me... but still, I felt him move and it was sooo cool and yet so weird!
Overall, things are going well. We got back from Australia a couple of weeks ago... had a blast hanging out with Gregory and Dan in Sydney. I mastered the game of UNO while we were there... we laughed so much, it hurt!
