16 Weeks Along....

We went to the doctor yesterday for a 16 week check up. They listened to the heartbeat and it was 157 beats a minute. Still above the 140 beats so according to that myth...it's a girl.
I have had lots of signs for boy though. Paul finally let me buy some draino crystals and so we took them home to only find out that we are BOTH having boys. According to the "myth" you spit in draino crystals and if it pops and fizzes then it's a boy. And that's exactly what it did when Paul and I BOTH spit in it! So much for that theory!
I have also had one dream regarding what my child will be and it was a boy. Everyone in the room in the dream said "Are you sure?" "Did you double check?" Can we all tell what my family wants me to have?
July 10th is the big day for the ultrasound so it will be settled for once and for all and mayeb Paul and I can concentrate on picking a name! Hopefully the baby is positioned right so we can see! Keep you all posted.....

Myth #2

A needle on a thread held over your belly moves in circles, so you will have a boy.

So we tried this one last week with a ring on the thread and it just kept going in circles. So it's going to be a BOY! Five more weeks till we find out for sure but we'll keep testing!

Myth #1

Your baby's heart rate is 140 or more beats per minute, so it's a girl.

So this one says it's a girl!! The two times that they have heard the heart beat, it has been over 140 beats per minute! One down...many more to test!

12 Week Doctor Visit

Went to the doctors on Friday and was there for about 5 minutes. Short and sweet visit. All he did was listen to the heart beat and it was 164 beats per minute.
According to my sister, I don't blog enough so I am going to test all the myths of "Is it a boy or is it a girl?" That should keep my blog interesting for the next 6 weeks until I actually find out. The votes are kinda close so we'll see!

12 Week "Official" Ultrasound

On Thursday, I had a 12 week ultrasound. The lady said she only saw one in there so who ever voted twins, I don't think that is going to happen. (Sorry. As exciting as that would have been to see Katie try and take care of TWO babies at once!) Here is a picture of Baby Thomson at 12 weeks. 2 ounces and 2 inches long. The ultrasound technician kept saying "He is just kicking away in there" but it's still too early to tell. It was in the perfect postion, but oh well! Another 6 weeks to find out! I see the doctor on Thursday so I will post any more updates then. I have been given three due dates by three different people so it will all be a surprise when "she" finally arrives. Christmas Day, December 7th, and December 2nd.

Ian's Graduation!

Ian graduated from the eighth grade yesterday! We are so proud of him!

Something Interesting

Thought this was sort of interesting. It was kinda cool to get that many people to freeze all at the same moment. The guy on the cart is the best!
