Time for an update--where to begin? I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow. :-) I had an ultrasound this past Tuesday & everything looked good. The baby was moving a lot, putting hands up to the face (maybe thumb in the mouth), one time I saw a yawn followed by a stretch. The ultrasound tech thought that was really cute. Dan was running late. I wanted him to see the entire ultrasound, but he was still able to see a lot. He sold his rocket Civic & told the buyers to meet him at 1 o'clock, & my appointment was at 2 o'clock. I asked him why he didn't schedule to meet them after my appointment b/c people rarely show up on time &, if you're selling a car, they're going to want to look the car over & ask questions. Anyway, that's in the past. The car is sold & we're $6,000 richer. But he better be on time for the next ultrasound! :-)
The next ultrasound is in 6 weeks & we'll find out if we're having a girl or boy. I don't have any strong feelings yet as to what we're having. I think I'm leaning a little more towards girl at this point b/c of how bad I've felt (and it doesn't seem to be going away). I know that's not a sure sign, but it seems to be a sign in my family. The sicker you are, the more likely you're having a girl. But, like I said, the feelings aren't real strong yet. I always thought that I'd want all boys. When I think of having a girl I think of drama, periods, & having to deal with the whole modesty issue. But, once we make it through all that I have a friend for life. Dan would just be ecstatic if we were having a girl. When I think of having a boy I think low maintenance, loving their mommy, & hyperactivity. But, when he's older & gets married the relationship with him will definitely change. Those are just thoughts that roll around in my head. I won't know until I experience it. We'll be happy with whatever we're having though. Just so thankful to be experiencing all of this.
As far as the sickness goes...it's still there on & off. I think I'm going to buy some vitamin B6 & Unisom & try taking a little bit of that. I know that concoction isn't as strong as the prescription I'm taking, but that stinkin' pill gives me such bad headaches. I depend on it when I'm at work though. Oh well, just wanted to give something else a try. I might not even need the strongest thing for the nausea. I don't like thinking that I'm going to have to deal with this the entire pregnancy. I'm so excited to be having a baby, but, so far, I do not like being pregnant...lol.
That's my update!
