Baby Update...

Well, things with the baby are moving along great, and on Thursday we will be at the end of our first trimester. Time has flown by. I can officially not fit into any of my pants. The good news about that is I get to by new clothes. I have decided that I don't like maternity clothes. They need clothes that are for the in between stages. Everything I find is for the later stages of pregnancy.

I had a doctors appointment yesterday, and it was the usual check up. I did get to hear the baby's heartbeat again, and it was strong at 160 bpm. I go back September 27th for another rountine visit, and then the week of November 10th, we get to find out if it is a boy or a girl!! You will be surprised at the number of people that put their twos cents worth in on that one. Everyone wants to know why we want to know. The answer is simple. I am a planner, and will need to have everything plannd to a tee. Everyone asks what we want, and all we want is a healthy baby. I have had the traditional baby predictor testsdone on me. We have held Sean's wedding band over my belly and it indicated a boy. The Chinese chart said a boy as well. Someone told me to pour Drano in the toilet before I pee. The color it changes indicates boy or girl. I am not buying a bottom of Drano just for this purpose. If anyone wants to know the results of this test, they can donate a bottle of Drano. People are also asking about names. Sean and I have always loved the name Sam, so if it a boy, it will be Sam. We can't decide on a girls name yet. Several people suggested I post picture of my growing belly. I am not too sure if the blogging world is ready for that.

The morning sickness has subsided, but the emotional swings are in full force. Anything can make me cry. The tiredness is not as bad, and I am slowly getting my energy back. Sean has been great for the past 3 months. He has cooked, cleaned, done laundry, ran errands, and listened to me cry, complain, moan and groan. He has been a trooper.

That is pretty much all that is going on with us. This entire pregnancy so far has been such an amazing experience, and we have already been so blessed by this child. Please continue to pray for our sweet baby.
