It's a GIRL!!!!!

We went to the doctor's office this week. Brought the entire family - kids were off of school and I thought it would be neat for the girls to see the new baby on a sonogram machine.



Our appt was at 9:45am - we were seen @12pm. (we ate an entire bag of goldfish and many cookies during our wait).



Finally, I was on the table and ready to go.



I reminded Dr. Martin about his telling us it looked like a boy last month and that the other doctor's office I go to had told me that they couldn't see anything.



He did a quick look and announced 'Boy'.



Bryana told him to show us on the monitor.



So, when Dr. Martin took another look - to show us our new son...



He saw - A GIRL!!!



Even though we were surprised - thinking all month it was a boy - deep down I knew it had to be a girl.



I conceived just too early in my cycle - the odds of boy were very low.



This pregancy continues to shock us - first that we are pregnant at all and next, that it is a girl.



She is perfect and looks like a small doll inside there.



Now, to think of girl names....

To BON JOVI or not to BON JOVI - This is the question.

Everyone who knows me knows that I'll stop at nothing to get my butt inside of a Bon Jovi concert.

Nothing - except having major surgery only a week before - that might stop me.

They are coming to town - April 26, 2008.

I'll be having this baby - April 18 -22, 2008.

Who here thinks I'll be well enough to attend this concert?

Even I have my doubts.

It is easy to think about when I'm still pregnant and feeling good - but I know what those first few weeks are like after you have a baby.

I'll be less than 8 days out from the birth and only 3-5 days out of the hospital.

Can I drag my body - to this concert?

1. Cut and sore tummy wound...

2. Still bleeding (sorry so gross, but it is true)...

3. Percocet'ed up...

4. No sleep for a week...

5. Shifting water-weight...

6. Boobs full of milk...

NOT to mention - leaving a week old baby at home with someone!!!!!!!!!


How terrible that I'm gonna try to get tickets anyway!!!!

You never know!!

15 weeks - long way until April.

I don't really have much new to tell about the status of this pregnancy. I have been feeling the occasional bumps of tiny movement so I'm assuming that all is well in there.

I have two doctors appts. this month.

Next Monday - Veterans day - Where I'll be bringing my children with me since there will be no school.

This ought to be interesting. I thought it would be nice for the girls to see the baby on sonogram and hear the heartbeat.

Later this month, I go for the 'big' sonogram. It is the one where they look at everything - hands and feet, organs and (hopefully)tell us the sex of this child.

At this point, I really don't care. It is what it is, as long as it is healthy - all is good.
