19 weeks

This week was a very scary week. It started off with having an ultrasound and seeing you kick and move all around. You weigh about 10 ounces. In the ultrasound I tried to convince Jerry that we should go ahead and find out whether you are a boy or girl. His response was "It's our early Christmas gift!" During the ultrasound for the brief second the ultrasound showed between your legs, this time I thought I saw boy parts. Although it was just a glimps for a nanosecond, so I can't be sure. So this week we all think you are a boy. Okay, now the scary part. I started having contractions. They were not painful, but were lasting 30-40 seconds and happening every 15-20 minutes. We all headed straight to the E.R. were I was infact having contractions but they were infrequent and were not doing any damage. My cervix remains long and closed, but it was enough of a scare that I am now at home on bedrest.
