And, of course, the one we've all been waiting for.......

Almost there!

About 3 months ago, Rhianna's daycare asked for a family photo -- we finally got around to doing one this weekend. I'm impressed we got everyone to smile at the camera even though it was just sitting on a tripod. I guess we've made them say cheese enough that the kids got the idea ;)

TOMORROW'S the big day!! I can't wait. I'm beside myself. I called yesterday to confirm my appointment and the lady said "hmmm... I don't see you on the schedule." LOOK AGAIN. Luckily she did the classic "o/a" swap in our last name so she did find me. Whew.

I'm pretty sure it's a boy. But since my intuition has been wrong for both of my kids so far, it might be a girl.

Girl symptoms: Might be carrying a little lower, Majorly emotional (not sure if that's really associated with girls, but it serves reason to suspect too much estrogen), Face breakout

Boy symptoms: Lower heartbeat, Lots of heartburn, gut feeling, like boy names these days, haven't gained much weight yet

Annoyed doc

Well, the appointment today went ok. Doc was kinda annoyed today as I've lost 1/2 lb. since my last visit. She put me on some anti-nausea meds that I am to take as needed. She said that many people who are sick turn the corner around 17 weeks (I'm 18 weeks today), others that have remained sick were sick the whole time. Fun fun. I don't feel like it's unbearable or anything so I'm a frustrated -- I feel like it's a little over-zealous to take meds for something that seems like regular pregnancy discomfort. I mean, I know that the morning sickness is supposed to end after the first trimester, but it's not like I'm not keeping anything down. Dave disagrees and says he thinks I seem pretty low-energy and hopes this will help. I can't tell if the energy is related to food/nausea or if it's just plain old pregnancy. Everything else was normal (urine, blood pressure). Feeling the baby move regularly now so that's fun.


Heartbeat was 135 this time. Boy? We'll find out soon! Only 12 days until the u/s!
