So I guess it's time to scare everyone with the thought that there will be another Jibril running around 
(and to update those who already know...)
In April, my husband and I got the shocking news that I am pregnant... shocking because we had given up on trying because I couldn't seem to get it to stick. We kind of resigned ourselves to never having children (but you know what happens when you stop trying
).
But because of this and because of having to move in May (horrible timing but we had to move), is why no one has seen me much lately. The first trimester sucks and moving to a new house didn't help that, I was so tired I could barely move.
Then, after moving, I got the notion in my head the yard needed to look nice, so I've spent my Saturdays clearing the overgrown flower beds and planting flowers. My Fridays (my other day off from work) has been moving around boxes. Not unpacking, just moving them to other rooms, staring at them, giving up
without unpacking I also don't have my computer set up yet because I don't have a chair to sit in. My cat shredded my old one so I didn't bother
moving it to the new house.
But, back on the baby track... don't ask me when my due date is. No one knows at the moment. My doctor originally set my due date as December 20th, however, it's been put on hold at the moment, it could possibly be December 6th since at my appointment they thought I felt more like 14 weeks rather than the 12 weeks I should be at. So right now... I'm either 15 weeks along or 17 weeks along... or we're having twins, no one knows yet... but the doctor won't do an ultrasound until after 16 weeks. Of course at my next appointment, no matter what the conception date was, I will be past 16 weeks so hopefully they'll want to schedule an ultrasound at that appointment.
And yes, I do want to know the sex of the baby, I don't want surprises (even though we already have names for both a boy and a girl picked out)
By the way, I suspect twins. My husband says I'm crazy, but my woman's intuition keeps nagging at me. He thinks I'm crazy because at my doctor's appointment I got to hear the baby's heartbeat and we only heard one (oh he was so upset he wasn't there with me. He was looking forward to hearing the heartbeat but I didn't know the nurse was going to do that so I didn't have him take the time off of work to go with me. I figured it would be all poking and prodding and no fun stuff, I was wrong). However, he doesn't listen to me when I say sometimes you can't hear a second heartbeat, and the nurse stealthily searched around to make sure there wasn't another. I say stealthily, but not really, I started tensing up when I heard the heartbeat, tears of joy (and a cold Doppler!), so we lost it, she found it again on the other side, but who knows, could have moved the baby But I think
she was certainly fishing around to see if possibly pick up two... just in case.
Also, I'm still extremely tired (don't expect much out of me!) and I kept getting told that in the second trimester that goes away! Still a little morning sickness, too, but honestly, I didn't get bad morning sickness, it was fairly mild, so I can tolerate that
I'm showing though... which everyone thinks is soooo cute! *frowns* and had to move to maternity pants about two weeks ago as even my jeans that were two sizes too big (before) were uncomfortable. It's taking time to get used to all this as this is my first time (my husband has a 19 year old son, he's been through it before, but even so, he keeps saying this is going to be like a whole new experience by the time the baby comes ). I'm appearently at
the cute phase, where everyone remarks on how I have the little 'baby bump!' going, and hear often 'Oh you're starting to show!' (Really?
Didn't notice...) and of course... the 'do you want a girl or a boy... or just a healthy baby?'. (Like I can send it back if it isn't healthy
or the gender I want? There's no take backs on babies!)
For the record, I want a boy, a daughter of mine would be an evil thing. I was (am?) a very evil person... ask my poor brother... he always got in trouble because I put him up to it...
However, everytime I've made up my
mind, I see the cute little girl things and kind of go all mooshy. So I will be happy either way, a girl will just be more work because I'll have to watch
the husband and the baby, since he will be so manipulated if he has a daughter..... *evil grin*
