So this week finally found out that Baby Brown is in fact a baby boy. Who would have guessed? I was pretty sure that we were having a girl and just about everyone else I know was too. The Brown male gene is apparently very strong. Baby Brown will be my in-laws eighth grandchild and seventh grandson. I also got some more good news at the sonogram. I have not been feeling a ton of fetal movement and I was starting to get a little panicked. I didn't want to make a big deal about it but I was literally a hot mess before the sonogram. I thought something was wrong and that's why I wasn't feeling anything. Good news, nothing was wrong! Not bad news but not great news, I have an anterior placenta, which means the placenta is in front of the baby. This is why I haven't been feeling much. Hopefully the placenta will move and I will start to feel more but it's not necessarily a bad thing if it doesn't move. I may have to have a C-section if it begins to block the birth canal (placenta previa) but we will cross that bridge when we get there.
Total weight gain/loss: I have gained 8 pounds so far and I can't believe that I am honestly sharing that.
Maternity clothes: Still a solid mix. We are going to Lubbock with some of our favorite friends this weekend and I will be buying some bigger t-shirts. God as my witness, my stomach will never hang out from under a T-shirt. It ain't right.
Stretch marks: None.

Stretch marks: None.
Sleep: I am tired all the time. Again. But I can no longer nap like I was during my first trimester.
Best moment this week: Finding out that that we are having a BOY! And that everything looks on track.
Movement: A little but I still have a hard time telling what's what.
Food cravings: Anything and everything sounds good.
Gender: BOY!
Labor signs: None.

Belly in or out: In.
Symptom of the week: Forgetfulness. If I don't write it down, it won't get done. I can do something and then five minutes later forget that I already did it. My short-term memory is done.
What I miss: Chimy's. It will be weird to be in Lubbock and not firmly planted at my favorite bar. Don't get me wrong, we will still go but it won't be the same.
What I am looking forward to: Lubbock. It will be nice to get out of town.
Weekly wisdom: Don't let negative people bring you down. This is an exciting time and there are some people who just have sour attitudes. It's easiest to ignore those people.
Milestones: Finding out the baby's gender. We also got some 3D pictures of his face which was exciting.
