13 weeks....wow

We went in for the NT scan today and it was so amazing to see cupcake again! The last time we got to see him/her was at 9weeks and boy did s/he change. Cupcake actually looks like a baby now. We got this really cool profile picture and you can see the ear, nose, and lips. Then we got to see him laying there with his legs crossed and and a hand behind his head. We're just convinced that cupcake is the cutest fetus ever! The tech told us the measurements of the back of the head were in the normal range which was good to hear. She also asked us if we'd like to know the gender because she would look if we wanted her to. We freaked out and said no. I don't think we were prepared to have that option so early. We kept hearing we had to wait between 16 and 20 weeks. We plan on finding out but we're going to do it so that the whole family finds out at the same time. We have an appt next week so I guess the doc will tell us when we can find out the gender so we can plan our gender party. I didn't want to find out but my wife wants to so I think this is a good compromise. Plus it does add some excitement and the family keeps talking about the gender party and when it will be. Even my Dad, step mom, and sister are planning to come into town so that will be nice. I'm feeling better but actually puked for the first time this past Sunday and of course we were at church too! At least I made it to the bathroom, but of all places...really?? I'm still tired but stayed up until 10pm last Friday night so that was a welcome change. My poor wife told me she gets so bored with me going to bed at 9pm every night. I told her to try and enjoy the quiet time because we're certainly in for it come October.

In other news, I'm so proud of my Granma! Me and my Granma have always been really tight. I've never had the "I'm gay" talk with her but she of course knows. PLUS, I'm butch so umm yeah, it's not too hard to figure out. She loves my wife and always asks about her when I talk to her and my wife always come with me for family functions. Now when I told Granma I was pregnant I didn't know how she would react but she has seemed fine with it. She asks me how I'm feeling and is pushing for me to have the baby 10/9 (my due date is 10/16) because that was my Grandpa's birthday. I called Granma yesterday and we were chatting and when she asked about my sweet wife, I told her she was at her parent's house. My Granma then out of nowhere asks if my wife's parents were excited about their new grand baby. I was completely shocked. When I told her I was pregnant I didn't say my wife and I having a baby, I just said that I was pregnant. I told Granma that my wife hasn't told her parents yet but that they likely won't want anything to do with it. She was just in complete shock by this and told me she can't understand how anyone could turn their back on their grand baby. I guess my Granma is more progressive then I thought and that only makes me love her more. Not bad for an 85 year old lady from the backwoods of Alabama!
