It's a Boy!

April 6 19 weeks

Looks like we definitely won't need that painting I won at the baby sale because Baby Fletcher is still a boy! He is growing really well and still appears to be a lot like his dad. He was still asleep at our 9:45 am appointment but gave us a good stretch towards the end and started wiggling around. Apparently, we woke him up.

He was kicking his cute little foot in and out of this shot.

After our appointment, we headed straight to Houston and spent Easter weekend with my entire family. My grandma, aunt, uncle, cousin, and her boyfriend were in town. My other cousin is currently living with my parents while she looks for her own place after accepting a transfer to Houston. Elise was her usual very entertaining self, the boys hung a television at Angie's house and met her new dog and played paintball with Jennifer and Corey for his 30th birthday, and we all enjoyed time together with a fabulous dinner made by my mom.

April was very nice to take me to start registering. Even with all of the really nice things Elise has offered for her cousin to use, there are so many decisions about baby gear. She made it really simple and gave great advice. Jeff was pretty impressed with the registry progress.

Mysterious items appeared in the house after we arrived home. I was going to put this in the other room for now, but it never made it out of my room. It's so sweet!

Kick or a hockey punch? The flutters have turned into kicks or as Jeff calls them hockey punches. Many times they are directed at my bladder, but it is really fun and Jeff has enjoyed catching more of Baby Fletcher's movements.

While sitting on the couch talking to Ashley, Jeff and I saw Baby Fletcher moving for the first time! I think he moved up a little bit where there is more real estate. I have been getting to feel him move for a few weeks now, but it is so fun when Jeff gets to experience it. Ashley, my very good friend whom I went to graduate school with and now work with, is due one week after I am. The dietitian I work with is due two days after me. Between the three of us and the two other girls in my group due in June, people are kind of afraid to drink the water around there.

Baby Fletcher attended his first bachelorette party this weekend. He had a great time, and got lots of attention from my sweet friends. Six of us worked in the PACU together and aren't all able to get together very often, but Becca's special day is a great reason!
