July 9, Our first doctor's appointment
The closer it came to the appointment, the more anxious I became. I just knew that I would get in there and the doctor would tell me the all this was some sort of sick joke and that I'm not really pregnant. That didn't happen. Instead we saw a wild child jumping around, waving arms and kicking legs! I never could have imagined someone only 2 inches long could look so human and be so active.
Glenn got his wish. We only have one baby! So many people mentioned twins to us that Glenn was getting incredibly nervous. He asked the doctor 3 times to double check that there was only one baby in there. And there's just one!
No determination of gender yet, though. That will have to wait for a couple months.
The official due date: February 2, 2009
We had fun telling Glenn's parents about the baby last weekend. We framed photos of the ultrasound, wrapped the package and presented it as a late mother's day/father's day gift. The unsuspecting Debbie opened the gift with no idea of what was about to come! Talk about shock! I thought she might faint. Her face went totally blank as she tried to get her bearings. The first thing out of her mouth, "I gotta go" She started to walk out of the room but came right back to look inside the box again to see if it was really true. After getting over the initial shock, we all celebrated together. Finally, she is getting that grandchild she started asking for 8 years ago. I guess she hasn't waited quite as long as Kyli (my niece) who says she has waited for 10 years, her ENITRE life.
Overall, I have been feeling well. Occasionally, I get a bit nauseous or have random indigestion. Other than that I am just incredibly tired. For those of you who know me well, you know that if I could eliminate one thing from my life it would be sleep. I just find it to be such a waste of time. Despite my feeling about sleep, I can't seem to get enough of it. I am about to propose a nap room at work! One day earlier this week I actually spent my lunch hour in my car sleeping. Not my normal MO. How things change.
