One week to the ultrasound!

Finally the ultrasound is one week away. Still awhile to wait but at least it's getting closer. I've been thinking good thoughts that Baby C will sit right and we'll get a definite answer! I can't wait any longer to know! I've thoughts about the nursery colors and decorations so as soon as we know, I will probably get Carey painting walls and making changes.

Baby C has been energetic again since last evening and today. Really pushing and nudging against my belly. Where are the little baby flutters and delicate kicks? Makes me feel worn out and wish I could go home and just hang out and rest.

We've had some late in the game votes and now the girl votes are in the lead....still a week to cast your vote if you haven't!

Hope everyone is doing well. Take care.

Wait, wait, wait

How is it that it is still two more weeks until the ultrasound??? Time has been going so slowly since we scheduled this appointment. Time is dragging it seems. Now with Halloween today, I wonder if things will drag even more. Thanksgiving doesn't hold quite the same appeal as Halloween and Christmas with decorations, tv specials and such.

I guess at least we've made it through two weeks of waiting. And today is an okay day, Baby C is sitting pretty comfortably so that is a good thing. Not been sleeping as well the last few nights and so perhaps my luck has changed from the good sleeping I was getting before. I have had some times now where the baby will get settled into an awkward and less comfortable position. Baby C seems to favor the left side of my belly.

Not too much to report. We're just chugging along and counting the days for the big ultrasound results. Everyone think good vibes that Baby C will sit right. No baby butt on the 14th, we need to see the goods!

Take care and talk to you all soon.

Active baby today

This morning as I got to work I was thinking that the baby had not been as active in the last day or so. I was remembering though that early on, they can be more and less active and it's not until later that it is more a source of worry.

Then today Baby C decided to get active again. I've been getting nudges and movement most of the day today. Not as much the pressure on the ribs, more the middle of the belly this time. A lot of times pushing on the belly rather than flutters of kicks. Good to know the little one is doing well in there. It is very distracting at work, I must say!

Hope everyone is doing well. Will write more soon. I still can't believe the ultrasound is still so many weeks away!!!

Regular Checkup

Good morning, had our checkup this morning. Nice and basic. Everything is looking good. We got to hear the heartbeat and it was good and strong sounding. I checked and confirmed that I could have a flu shot which I went and had done at work later this morning. Today was just a simple and straightforward appointment without too much excitement. Of course it was nicer to be able to get a date set for the ultrasound appointment. Now just to try and wait patiently until then! With the last appointment getting re-scheduled back a week, they made my next appointment for four weeks from now and so we still have four weeks to find out!!! Oh well, we've waited this long.

I did extend the poll voting time until the morning of the ultrasound appointment for those who are holding out.

We'll try and get an updated picture up this evening. Caleb has been less interested in standing with Mommy for her pictures so we'll see if he'll make an appearance or not.

So far in talking to Caleb, he has been saying "No brother, no sister". Not sure if he understands having a sibling like some of his friends at daycare have or not. We're hoping to involve him and try to win him over in the coming months. We'll see!

I'd better get my workday going. Hope everyone is well and talk to you soon.
