I'm sure you can tell from the above picture but in case you can't....We're officially having a baby boy! We couldn't be more excited:)
The fetal survey went extremely well. Zach and I had so much fun watching our little one. The ultrasound technician couldn't help but be surprised that he was so active. She'd hold one spot and you could see the little guy just kicking and punching all over the place. He's gonna take after both parents and play soccer!!! Can't wait to meet him!!!
Yesterday I said my farewells to the five month mystery and today I'm looking into the face of 4 more days of such. We went to the OB and what she had failed to tell me last month was that in this month's appointment we would be "scheduling the fetal survey ultrasound". My hearing must've failed me again. Miraculously, we finished the appointment with smiles on our faces and not a trace of disappointment....until we left the building. Four days seems like a year away but I have a nice weekend in between now and then, I don't HAVE to think about much else. Tuesday 10am....I'll be there...not square... but maybe a little round:)
Farewell to having to go to both the boy and girl section of the baby isle.
Farewell to "it"
Farewell to the waiting and anticipation.
Farewell to dreams of uncertain baby genders...... I WON'T MISS YOU ONE BIT!!!
Tomorrow morning, Zach and I are going in for our second trimester ultrasound and along with checking the development of the little sprout, we'll be discovering the gender!!! WOO HOO! Here's to waiting 4 months. Praise to those who can go the whole pregnancy...I am not one of you! Here's to gender specific browsing!!!!
So this semester's first day of school was maybe not as precious as the above (mom was this a first day of school pic?) but fun all the same! I decided that we were going to carpool everyday...save gas, yes, but more so I wanted to be able to spend a little more time with him each day.
So this semester will be hard but fun. I'm really excited about some of my 13 credit hours, especially humanities and development of the adolescent student. Zach is taking 15 credit hours (woo eee!) and enjoying the classes for his major. At this rate hopefully we'll get done!!! ;) although that seems in the distant future.
Trudging along....but we'll make it!!! Baby in hand I will be graduating by 2011 at the LATEST!!!
Well, life sure has it's moments. The good, the bad and the hilarious. I've been meaning to write about last Friday but the excitement just kept coming.
This weekend I took on the fun responsibility of taking care of a family member's dog/home for a couple of days. Friday morning, before my 8:45am Biology final, I quickly drove over to let their pup out. I entered at approximately 8:20am. I went to go turn off the alarm. In doing so I didn't hit one of the numbers hard enough, setting the loud alarm off and calling the dispatcher. I explained what had happened...and the didn't believe me. At approximately 8:45am the doorbell hinted that law enforcement had arrived. Fortunately a four month pregnant, 5'2" blonde isn't all that suspicious.
Seeing as I was very late for my final, I hurried to the school. Upon arrival I noticed my classroom was dark, empty and locked. Hmph...After an hour of searching I left, not to mention a little disgruntled. A couple hours later, my professor called letting me know he had canceled the final and that I'd done well in the class. YAY!
So, to end this insanely boring blog, I saw a doctor this morning and I officially have a dual ear infection along with a normal viral infection. Woot woot. Here come the antibiotics.
