31-8-2008 - ITS A ........

My mood while writing this blog: ecstatic

ok soooo updates first....lol. The results from my glucose test was that it was high. So now I have to take the 3 hour glucose test :-( uugghh thats not going to be fun. When I took the last one (and it was only the 1 hour test) I got extremely nauseous and feeling sick with that drink they give you. So I have gained like 10 pounds already :-( I am NOT happy about that!!! oh well, I'll think about that later.....lol typical answer - procrastinate procrastinate procrastinate. My acne still hasn't gotten better :-( and I'm still relying on Tums for my heartburn/indigestion.

So we had to wait like an hour at the doc because of back up with the patients. So we finally get in there and started the ultrasound. YAY. I was sooo nervous and by the look on my boyfriends face so was he! So the ultrasound tech tells us that we might not be able to tell the sex because I'm only 16 weeks and so on and so on. Oh that just dropped my spirits a little. So she tells us that she is going to do some measuring of the baby and his/her body parts etc. etc. So my boyfriend is always really good and looking and recognizing what the ultrasound tech is showing us - meanwhile I never do! lol.... so the tech get to measuring the leg bones from hip to knee.....and before the tech can say anything, my boyfriend says "IT'S A GIRL!!" the tech looks at him kinda surprised and said "daddy's right!" The tech said it was a textbook picture of how to determine the sex - she was posing just right! It was like she was saying "yup here I am and I am a girl!!"

A GIRL!!! What???? I don't even know what to do with a girl...lol we only have boys in our family and I just assumed it would be another boy because my boyfriend has two boys (12 and 7) and together we had (lost) one baby boy. WOW!! My boyfriend was extremely happy! He wanted a girl and said this time it was a girl from early on in the pregnancy. Well, pretty much everyone that knows I'm pregnant was betting on a girl. So it's taking me a minute to grasp the idea of me being a mom to a little girl but I LOVE IT! Its going to be a great experience for my first child to be a strong, opinionated, smart, loving little princess!!! I'm just guessing she will have those attributes lol...

So the perinatal doc just wants to watch my cervix pretty closely now because this is about the time that I miscarried last time. I am sooooo nervous, but according to the u/s everything looks good. I get another look at my cervix and the little princess in about 2 weeks. YAY.

So when we got home we got some more news. My boyfriend had taken a DNA paternity test to determine if he was the father of a little girl. OK here's a little bit of background....Him and his ex were together off and on for like 9 years or so and she always told him that little girl was his (she is the youngest of the children). And he always questioned it (so did everyone else - family, friends, etc.). She would get angry and say she didn't know why he thought that and she was his etc. etc. etc. anytime he questioned it. So finally he couldn't take it anymore and told her he wanted a test (this little girl just turned 6!) So she finally admits to him that yes there was a big possibility that the girl was not his, etc. etc. WOW. I cannot understand women that do this! This immature, selfish, irresponsible, rediculous decision that she made to continue this lie for this long is going to affect everyone involved - the child, the other children, my boyfriend, the other guy who may be the father, my boyfriend's family who were told that this child was their granddaughter neice cousin, etc. etc. Oh my goodness. So anyway fast forward past the emotional part of doing the test and waiting for the results.....we got the dang results the same day we get the answer to our baby question we had be waiting for.....he is NOT her father!!! speechless......

So needless to say that day was an emotional rollercoaster!!! It just felt physically draining at the end of the day. So to wrap this up....daddy is soooo excited to be getting his little princess, I'm excited to be the mommy of a little girl and everything looks good so far with the pregnancy - hopefully the glucose testing goes ok......

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!

I hope everyone else is doing well with their pregnancies and the little babies are growing happy and healthy!! God Bless
