Clarifying

Since the day we announced we were pregnant we have been asked, "do you want a boy or girl?"

My answer has been, "we are fine with a boy or a girl" I definitely get some funny looks because of that answer.

Our thoughts are that we have a boy so a boy would be an easy transition. I have all the toys, clothes and I know I could do two boys. I could do soccer games, t-ball, and stinky sweaty boys. With a girl, it would be fun. Everything would be new and PINK. I'll still most likely being doing the same things I will with two girls as I would be with two boys.

So bascially we are excited about this baby. We are excited to finally find out if our children will be two boys or a boy and a girl...we will see, we will see.

All down hill from now on...wait except I'm only going to get bigger so really no down hill. Anyways...

9 days until we find out.

20 Weeks and Frustrated

I know the excitement is rising and everyone is dying to know if I’m having a boy or girl. I guarantee it’s driving me more nuts than it is you.

 

The doctor didn’t make it clear at my appointment a month ago that I needed to schedule my sonogram appointment then so I could get in sooner. I had my regular appointment on Tuesday and she didn’t mention the sonogram so I asked about it and that’s when she said “if you don’t already have the appointment” AGH, NO!!!! I want to get in ASAP.

 

I go out to the front to get my next appointment and to also schedule my sonogram appointment and the earliest they have available is July 19^th! That means I have to wait even longer than what I’ve already been waiting. Frustrated.

 

Let’s just say, this last appointment was not fun. It was already a rescheduled appointment from the week before. I went on Wednesday June 30^th and since my doctor was on call she had to go over to the hospital but they didn’t inform us of this until after we all waited over an hour. So I went in yesterday and I waited over an hour again to see her, and then waited another 30 minutes to just see her after getting in the room.

 

I go to the afternoon appointments so I don’t have to make up much time at work. But after discussing the down side of this with Tim I decided I’m taking the first appointment I can get in the morning. I left work 30 minutes early on Tuesday but didn’t get home until almost 6 (2 hours after I regularly get off work)

 

My appointment went fine besides gaining 4 pounds from my last appointment. I guess this isn’t too bad since I had lost a pound at my last appointment.  So that is a total weight gain of 6 pounds so far. Not too bad but I need to be careful.  The baby’s heart rate was good…I love that part of the appointment. Like I said earlier I go back on July 19^th for the sonogram and then my next regular appointment is the 1^st week in August.  I’m half way through and I’ve done nothing to the house or the baby’s room to get ready. Yikes, I need to get on that.

 

Fun times. Hoping my next pregnancy blog is announcing that it’s a boy or girl!

 

Sorry everyone, you have to wait a little bit longer.

Happy 4th of July!

I just wanted to take a few minutes to say...

Happy 4th of July!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful day full of relaxation and yummy food. I hope it is a day filled with memories with family and friends.

Basically have a fantastic day!
