17 weeks...It's a BOY!!

Howdy everyone! I hope everyone is either enjoying the sun (AZ friends) or not shoveling too much snow (midwest folks!). It's amazing to me how different the weather can be from one place to another! This week has been nothing short of pure craziness. The best part of this week was finding out Brandon and I are going to have a precious little BOY!! I'm not going to lie and say I was surprised because I've had nothing but boy thoughts and dreams this entire pregnancy. Also, all the women at work swore I was having a boy by looking at my belly..kinda funny how that works :)(Secretly I was praying boy because having a big brother has to be so great!) For those of you who didn't know, Brandon and I had an in home ultrasound. There is a company called wombmates and they come to you for ultrasounds. It was so nice laying on my comfy bed and watching baby on my own T.V.(and not taking work off...woohoo!) When the ultrasound guy put the machine on my belly I was nervous baby wouldn't cooperate. He prodded on my belly a bit and sure enough we saw baby do a flip! He zoomed in and right away I go...I know what that is! lol..it's kinda funny that I knew already just by looking at the screen. It was VERY obvious it was a boy...and if it wasn't a boy...I'm scared! I was so happy to have had that experience with Bran :) It was definitely more special than a doctor's office and I highly recommend it for any preggo friends out there if a service like this is in your area! VERY cheap too! I'm also curious to know what a lot of you working moms did right after baby was born. I found out my mom can't come out in October anymore when I go back to work. I was wondering if any other mommies out there had a transition period when going back to work with family help(grandparents helping during the first week back)...I'm kinda nervous for that day to come! I read online that it can be helpful to new parents but wasn't sure if anyone has done this before. Hopefully Brandon and I can find a great daycare out here for Baby Sev! Ok..I'll stop being chatty now and show you Baby Sev! (we almost have a name now too!)
I'm not in sweats for once!! Hot date with Bran for Valentines Day <3

Now for the best photos of the week...baby BOY Sev!! (Beware he may not be at his cutest phase yet and the pictures can be a tiny bit scary..but he's still so adorable to me!)
He's yawning :)

Size and growth of our baby: Baby is now the size of a TURNIP!



Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs almost 6 ounces now, and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.  This week might also mark the first time you feel baby move inside you, but don't worry if it's another two months before you notice anything. (Or realize that this time, it's actually not gas.)
