22 weeks

I guess I haven't posted any updates for a little bit because two weeks ago on Friday the 19th, we found out that we are having a baby BOY! We're so excited! I love that he's started kicking me a lot and Nick can put his hand on my belly and feel the kicks. I'm so glad we have a healthy baby (so far...fingers crossed)! I, on the other hand, had to go to the emergency room on the morning of the 18th for intense pain in my stomach. I was so nervous that something was wrong with the baby, but it just turned out that I have gall stones and will have to have my gall bladder out as soon as the baby is born. They're painful, but as long as I eat a low fat diet I shouldn't keep having attacks (I've had 3 since the 18th, but now I have pain meds. at home and don't need to go to the hospital for anything since we know what it is). All is good. We're excited for finals to be over in 2 weeks (YAY!) and Nick is graduating!!!! (YAY YAY YAY!!!) I'm so happy about that, because it means that we'll both have a break from school to focus on the baby and for Nick to get some job experience in Bio Physics until he applies for grad school. He's decided to go for his PhD instead of just his masters so it's going to be an adventure! We don't know where we'll end up living, but until he knows where he wants to go to grad school we're completely loving living in Denver in our lovely rented house with a big backyard for the dogs. I'm so excited to see what the next year will be like, since we've had such an amazing past year!

Here are some ultrasound pictures
