Ok, I'm seroiously freakin out =) !?!?!?!?! 7 days and counting!!!

Ok, so I can remember making the appointment to find out what I'm having and it seemed SO FAR AWAY! I had over 6 long weeks to wait, now I have 7 days and it's starting to hit me that very soon I will be able to know if my baby is a little boy or a little girl-THAT'S HUGE!!. I am so excited to finally know, I feel like it's an opportunity to get to know so much about my little one and become more connected. I can start looking at clothes, decorations, possibly call my little one by it's name, besides who wants to be called "it" for 9 months anyway? I hope the next few days go quickly because I can hardly stand the anticipation. Most of the time my instincts say it's a girl but then sometimes I want to say it's a little boy- I don't care either way I'd like one if each =) it's just fun to guess and see if you were right! SO we'll see-not too much longer! My mom and sister are coming down for the occasion, I can't wait to see my mom's face when we find out. It's gonna be great! SO THE COUNT DOWN IS ON!!

Update on how I feel at 14weeks and 5 days

Just a little update on how I've been feeling lately. I feel better then I did at 8 weeks, but that's not saying much considering throwing up was something I did on a daily basis. Now my nausea is just completely random. I can feel fine one day and be throwing up the next for no rhyme or reason. I still have to take Zofran(nausea and vomiting medicine) religiously every 5 hours or else I will find myself over the toilet, and sometimes Zofran can't even rescue me from worshiping the porcelain goddess. For the most part everyday is like a roller coaster - I could feel good in the morning and feel bad in the evening or just the opposite. I could feel fine one day then spill my beans the next. I wish I could say I feel great and I'm back to normal but I'd be lying. I still hate the thought of food and struggle with keeping what I eat down. I still think there is hope for me to get over my dependence on Zofran to make it through the day, but if I'm sick through out the whole pregnancy then I am sick through out the whole pregnancy and luckily for me pregnancy doesn't last forever and I end up with something amazing to show for it. I hear this a lot, "but you feel better then you did...right?" Well, yes- I no longer feel like I'm dying=), do I feel anywhere like normal or even good? Most of the time no. Now I know what your thinking, I sound so negative and I should be enjoying the "sweet joys" of pregnancy. What I have to say in return, if you consider spending most days throwing up and feeling sick a "sweet joy" then good for you. My "sweet joy" will be when they place my little one in my arms for the first time. Now I know what they mean when they say everyone's pregnancy is deferent. So, can I say pregnancy thus far for me has been enjoyable, honestly not really. Does that take away my excitement for the life that lies within me- not one bit! Do I still feel completely blessed and thankful-absolutely. Would I do this all over again-you bet! =)

Appointment 7-9-08

I went to my 3rd Doctor's appointment on Wednesday, it was wonderful. Danny was able to come with me and they did an ultrasound our little baby was sitting Indian Style and the cutest thing of all was the baby had hick-ups =)! I could have sat there for hours just watching it. It was so neat, this was the first time I got to see the baby since it actually looked like a baby. It was so exciting, now I really can't wait to find out if the baby I saw was a little boy or a little girl.
