I went for my checkup and ultrasound yesterday (July 26). We found out that the baby is a boy! He looks very healthy and is still measuring right on track. He is very active and I started feeling him move a couple of weeks ago (July 6). I still don't feel the movement very regularly and it is not real kicks, just some fluttering. I love feeling him move and it makes the pregnancy seem even more real. The ultrasound estimated his weight at 6 oz! He was moving so much during the ultrasound that the tech had to chase him around to get good pictures.
I have finally started to get some energy back and the sickness has almost completely gone away. Thankfully, the obsession with food has also started to lessen! I was a little worried that I would eat my way through this pregnancy and be too big to leave the house by December!
The doctor said that all is looking great. He gave me the ok to travel to the beach in a few days. I will go for my next appointment in four weeks. We are still planning to do the C-section at the end of December.
The boys were a little confused when we first told them that the baby was a boy. The had both thought it would be a girl. Once we convinced them that it was a boy, they started to get excited. Will said to me today "Can you believe that I am getting a best friend" referring to his new baby brother. He said that John was his best friend the other day! I love watching Will and John together and can already imagine another little boy joining in on the fun.
We have decided on a name....Charles Turner Hollandsworth! He will be named Charles after my grandpa and Turner was my maiden name. We are excited to see what this little boy will look like and to see what sort of personality he has. Only about 5 more months until we get to meet him!
16 weeks, 6 days pregnant (July 26, 2011)
