So Much to Say!!!

Well although it has been a week I feel like 2 weeks because I have done so much! First of all I was suppose to have my 3d ultrasound this past Monday.... well on the way home from work last Friday I got way to anxious and decided to call and move my appointment up to Saturday. So Saturday Matt and I had a date day, because it is cheaper, and then went to our appointment to hopefully find out the sex of our baby. Well we now know and it's a boy!!!!!!!! This is what Matt and I have thought all along so we were very excited. Matt I think was a little more because he has always wanted to boy to be the oldest and look after the little sisters. They did tell us that it was 80% because we were only 15 weeks but we think we saw what we needed to. Of course the little one was doing flips and seemed very alert. We will be going back at 17 weeks for the package we had paid for and get a 10 minute video with lots of pictures.

So Saturday was over and the Sunday shopping began. Now that I new it was a boy you could not stop me from planning the nursery in my head. My mother, aunt, and myself went to Pennys Outlet to find some great deals on whatever we could get our hands on. We also went to TjMaxx and More and loaded up. When we left for home 6 hours later we could barely fit ourselves into the car, literally. My mom had to go back up the next day with a trailer to get the furniture we had all bought.

So at that point we had told my family and Matt's sister but waited to tell Matt's parents because they were coming over for dinner Sunday evening. I had bought a bear earlier and a blue blanket and put that out for them to see. They were so excited for us. Now that we know what it is, it just seems a little more real, along with the belly I have grown to love.

Tuesday we had our real doctor's apointment and once again we were not impressed. I asked the doctor about the flu shot I had gotten and he told me to get when I had first come in at 7 weeks. He said it was a "soft" area to get it in your frist trimester. HE DIDN'T TELL ME TO WAIT!! So once again I have something I was not told to hang over my head for a little while. I thought that would be it and a normal visit would continue, but I was wrong. He starts to tell me about my blood work and what blood type I am when my husband chimes in....um I hate to interrupt but I think you are looking at the wrong persons file. The doctor had a file up with a picture on it, so things like this don't happen, and it was not me. My husband then looked at the name on the computer and it was not me. The doctor then started shuffling through some papers and eventually asked my last name.....seriously??? This is a doctor I have heard nothing but good things about from everyone I talk to. Needless to say we scheduled the next appointment with a different doctor within the same practice. We are both hoping for a good visit next time.

So this week has been full of fun things. I am trying to clean out my office and extra bedroom because everything is about to change....need a baby's room to put everything I have already bought in. On Saturday my mother I am going to North Carolina to visit my sister and niece. We will be back and Monday and then she is coming to visit for a little over a week. I am so excited about this week coming up getting things done and no school!!!

  2. I see that you had fun shopping!
    Treasure all these "first baby" moments. Everything is new and exciting.

    I'm glad you all are asking questions and checking behind the doctors.

    I guess you're thinking names now. :)
