UPDATE 6/17:
I am having some horrible pelvic pain. The nurse said it is from a hormone that is realeased to relax the muscles and bones to get ready for childbirth. She thinks maybe they relaxed so much that they are starting to seperate and casue me pain. She said to take Tylenol and do pelvic rocks. The pain doesn't seem to be getting any better and it's hard to walk even across a room but I am tolerating it. I'm scared I will end up on bedrest or with strict limitations so please send some vibes that the pain goes away! I don't see how I could be on bedrest with an almost 3 year old running around! It sounds impossible! ;o) I can't wait til next Monday when we get to see the baby!

ULTRASOUND, June 24th:
It's a BOY! He is so perfect! He looks a lot like Tyler we think, maybe a bit more like Doug then Tyler did. I'll have to scan his ultrasound pics so we can compare! He was so active during the ultrasound. He was sucking, kicking and punching! He was breech but that could change at anytime before the birth so no worries! At one point he started to pout and his little lip came out. It was so cute! Go to the Ultrasound Pic's Page to see pics!
