The Road to the Baby Boo...

Thank Heavens For Little Girls....

Yep, that's what we've got on the way!  Baby boo is a she!  :)  Ultrasound went great - had B, my Mom, and my Aunt present for the scan and that made it even more special!  She looks great - heart is very strong and looks healthy.  Kidneys, bladder, and umbilical cord look lovely as well.  She was all layed out and chilling during the scan - one arm behind her head like she was kicked back on the beach getting a tan....lol.  She moved around some, yawned, attempted to suck her thumb, and just generally looked adorable!  :)  


I'm starting to look more pregnant -- still haven't broken down and gotten the maternity clothes just yet, but I think it's just around the corner....yikes.  My appetite has definitely increased, morning sickness is gone and now I'm just waiting for the increased energy level to arrive....someday!!  


Well this mama is pooped, so I'm hitting the bed!  Just wanted to post a short update!  Hope everyone is doing well!  And best wishes for a positive cycle for all those TTC'ers out there!

Attack of the giant ta-ta's!

Hello All!  Yes, I'm still here!  Just been crazy busy and still battling the preggo exhaustion.  Seems like FOREVER since I blogged....guess that's because it has been FOREVER!

We had our nuchal scan a few weeks ago and everything looked great!  Little pumpkin is still growing on target, nice strong heart beat, and the nuchal measurement was 1.4 (well within the range of normal).  So there's a good chance our little seahorse is A-OK chromosomally.  We'll know more at the next ultrasound, at 17.5 weeks, but the last ultrasound was very promising!  At the next ultrasound we should be able to find out if we've got a Mr. or Miss hanging out in there, provided he/she decides to play nice!

I've been feeling OK -- not great -- just OK.  I have a lot of stretching-type twinges in my pelvic region, especially when I sneeze or get up too quickly, but from what I've read it's allegedly normal round ligament pain, so I haven't been freaking out about it.  Morning sickness has subsided for the most part, so once the tiredness moves on out I'll be a happy camper!

The most disturbing pregnancy "side-effect" thus far has been the massive increase in boob size!  Whoa.... I always wondered how huge my "girls" would get once I was pregnant and now I know!  Ha!  Today I left work a little early (yes, I had to work on Labor Day...ewww) and went to the mall to find a new bra.  Wow....what an experience.... I tried on at least 10 different bras of various enormous sizes and none of them fit!  So frustrating!  And the other customers in the store weren't helping matters much!  As I was trying on my  10th bra in the third department store of the day, a super annoying woman and her super annoying spoiled brat daughter came into the dressing room.  The woman was complaining about her size 34B bra not fitting properly and she was just devastated that she might have to try a 36A!  Here I was trying to cram myself into DD/DDD bras that had cups the size of her little pin head and she's bitching about having to go up a size??  OMG!  Plus it was even more disturbing that she was "modeling" the bras for her 7-8 year old daughter saying things like "do you like how this one looks"??  WTF??  Just a super weird experience all around... but I finally decided on a bra and once I outgrow that one, I'm breaking down and buying the nursing bra...and a wheelbarrow.  :)

Well it's WAY past my bedtime, so I'll bid you adieu until next month...LOL.  Just kidding -- I'm sure I'll blog again before then....I hope!  :)

I'll leave you with a pic of our bambino from 3 weeks ago.... cute profile shot.... I'm jealous of his/her tiny nose.... lol.
