17 weeks and 4 days preggo

Wow, Im not very good at keeping up with these posts..I keep thinking I need to write something and then just dont...
Since the last post we got to see the baby (I think twice, I dont remember writing about the first ultrasound) The first time we saw the baby I cried, I was so excited, he looked like a little gummy bear and was dancing all around...I couldn't help but announce that our baby was going to be a dancer. I don't see anything wrong with living vicariously through your child;) In truth, I wasn't dreaming about things I wanted to do myself but never did, but I truly thought the way he was moving all around that dancing was a perfect fit!
We also saw the doctor this past Monday (I would have been 16 weeks 5 days along). She listened to the heart rate, it was in the 140s. She said it was solid and consistent and sounded great...She said she thought by the way the heart was beating that it was a boy...We were a little excited since I have been calling the baby he all along (not because we wouldn't want a girl, saying he just sounded right) so we had a second ultrasound (even though that is not normal for a 13-16 week visit) to try to see if we could tell the gender...And just like the first time, he was moving and dancing all over the place (which meant we were not able to see anything)
It was the most amazing thing though, being able to see his little hands touching his face and then reaching down and holding his feet.
I didnt cry this second time around, but I couldn't help the laughter bubbling out of my overjoyed self! It was the best experience so far... And I cant wait for the next ultrasound at week 20 when we can find out for sure if its a boy or girl:)
Oh, and as far as sickness goes. I haven't been regularly sick for a couple weeks now. I'm truly hoping I'm over the worst while still realizing that I have no idea what to expect in the third trimester!
