Do you know how hard it is sitting at work knowing that in 24 hours you get to see your baby again... AND hopefully find out the gender!!!!!?!??? It is very hard. I don't know how I am going to make it through tomorrow. Plus luckily my mom got bumped down in her shift so she is on 3rd again this week... that means she gets to come to the ultrasound with us!! (well OK not so lucky for my mom). At least I have off and Aryssa will keep me busy and hopefully keep my mind off of it. Plus God I think it was easier with her because we didn't find out the gender at 20 weeks, and when we did at 28 weeks no one knew we were going to find out ( Grant and I decided 3 days before on a whim to find out) we were planning on not telling anyone the gender and keeping it to ourselves... OK OK I know that only lasted 4 days but don't hate! So I think it is harder because all I think about is seeing my baby again and finding out if the little bean I have been carrying for (almost) 20 weeks is a boy or a girl. We have first names picked out for both, but I don't know yet if I want to share them... that could be my one thing I keep secret until the end.... but we will see! I loved talking to Aryssa in my belly and always calling her by name and I think I would slip up at some point when I am out in public or with family. Grant thinks this one is another girl, he swayed for a little while thinking maybe boy, but went back to girl. I think boy, but I also did with Aryssa! The only thing I hate is no matter what the gender is someone will always have something to say....
Girl-- "uhhh, so are you going to keep trying for that boy?"
Boy-- "Now you have the "perfect" family a boy and a girl"
What does it matter?!?!? I am more than happy with whatever God gives us. We are pretty sure we are done after this one (I always said 3 but am happy with 2, Grant is happy with 2), so I don't care what we have. If it is a girl we have loads of clothes all in the same season, and if it is a boy I have 30% off at Kohl's :)But whenever you tell someone the gender they always feel they need to comment... thanks but no thanks- keep them to yourself.
It is the same thing when you start dating someone....
"when are you getting engaged?"
"when is the wedding?"
"when is the baby coming?"
"when is the next baby coming?"
Why can't people just smile and say congrats??!?!!--- OK sorry for that little rant, Grant did say I am more hormonal this time around :/
OK moving on!! We have some super busy weekends coming up, this weekend we have a party in Waupaca for one of Grant's co-workers daughters. She had a tumor and she finished chemo and is doing great so it is a "Life is Good" party. It should be fun, only 4 of Grant's co-workers are going, but they are the fun ones :) Then Sunday I have Grant's cousins baby shower, Next weekend free. August 6th we have a picnic Christmas party with Grant's mom's side of the family, the 13th my mom's work picnic at the Timber Rattlers game, 20th Grant's cousins wedding... then finally an open weekend!
So if I am not around I apologize!
Anyway I will be sure to update with the baby's gender as soon as we let family know!
My shots have been going good also. I have noticed that I seem to get pretty dizzy about 2 hours after the shot. I know that it says that is a side effect, I don't remember it from the first week, but last week it was pretty bad. I haven't done it yet today, waiting for Wendy to get into the office to do it for me, otherwise wait until I get home so that Grant can do it.
LOL funny story for those of you not on facebook I had put this as my status:
PS> by the time I finished posting we are down to 23 hours :)... not that I am keeping track or anything!
This made me laugh! :) I'm also very excited for you to find out. And I seriously can't believe you're this far along already! I definitely giggled when I read Amanda's comment on Facebook. :)
