17 Weeks

Baby Hudson is 17 weeks old and we had an appointment with the specialist yesterday and it went really well. He was squirming around, yawning and sucking his thumb, so cute! Hudson weighed 7.2 oz which is big for his age because I think at 17 weeks the average weight is 5 oz. They did an anatomy scan and measured all of his parts which was really cool to watch them zoom in on his organs, brain, bones and precious feet. I wish I could have ultra sounds every day! We got to see his pee pee again (Tim saw it for the first time) but they say they don't confirm anything until 20 weeks, but I don't think his pee pee is going anywhere.
People have been asking me if I have any cravings and the truth is no, but I do want to eat whatever I see. For instance, this morning I looked in our fridge to pack my lunch and grab breakfast and I saw the left over sauerkraut I made on Saturday, so for breakfast I had a bowl of sauerkraut. I wasn't craving it, I just saw it, it looked good and I ate it. Because I eat what ever I see I've been having some fun combinations of food like pickles dipped in hummus, or hot sauce on sweet potato's or basically hot sauce on anything imaginable. Eating has been very fun, I really lucked out and haven't been nauseous at all. I feel like I have my energy back and I can work out again, so I've been doing great!
Here are a couple of the latest pictures of Hudson:

I know it's very early, but I swear he has Tim's nose!

Belly Pics

So people have been asking to see how big the belly is and I broke down and took a picture. At first I was like I don't wanna be one of those mom's who takes pictures of her belly every week, but it is pretty cool to see it growing. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow just to hear the heart beat and then the specialist on Tuesday to take all of Hudson's measurements. It's been so long since I've gotten to see my lil man and I'm really looking forward to it!

Labor day = Get to work!!

I know we are probably jumping the gun in wanting to get Hudson's room ready, but I'm so excited I don't wanna wait! Friday we made a trip to Home Depot to get all our supplies (had to get those Labor Day sales) and Saturday we got to work putting up the bead board. Sunday we got the chair rail up and this was very fun cause Tim nor I had ever done that before. Good thing we bought extra wood for all the short boards we cut and mis-measured angles :) Today I get to sit back and relax and let Tim take over. He gets to paint the bead board and the wall and I can't be near the paint smell with this lil bun in my oven so I got outta working. Here's the work in progress, can't wait for the finished product!

Sex Please

I had a doctors appointment with a specialist yesterday. Tim asked me over and over if he should come (he hasn't missed an appointment yet) but I assumed the doctors were just going to go over my medical history and tell me which meds to stay on and which to go off. I told Tim to not go cause I thought the appointment was just going to be a consultation. I felt horrible when I got there cause the first thing the doctor wanted to do was an ultra sound. I'm so spoiled getting so see my lil baby so much!
The doctor wanted to measure my ovaries and the cysts that were in them so they needed to do an ultra sound. I figured since they were already looking why not take a peek at my baby. Well, baby Greene was in the perfect position butt up legs spread to tell the gender. The nurse looked at me and said do you see what I see and I was so excited I shouted, "it's a PEE PEE!!" Now of course she told me that they can't confirm this early what the sex is, but it would surprise her if it wasn't a little boy.
The car ride back to work I had the Fish on and I was singing praise songs to my sweet Lord for blessing me with a boy. I was so excited, but I felt so bad that Tim wasn't there, so I wanted to do something special to tell him he was having a son. When I got home I baked cookies in the shape of footballs, drew laces on them and put them out on our kitchen island. I made a card for him and set it next to the cookies. When Tim got home he smelt the cookies right away and was happy just to have sweets. He said "oh, you made footballs cause its football season." Then I told him to open his card and in it I had the ultra sound picture and I wrote meet your son Hudson Timothy Greene!!! Tim couldn't wipe the smile off his face and we were both so giggly and excited.
