Patrick and I are expecting. According to the Dr, the little Monster... I mean, Munster, is due August 4th. Everything is looking great so far. Saw it's little heartbeat during my ultrasound. It measured it in at a whopping 20mm. TINY! But its little head and feet were perfectly visible. My calculations were 9weeks at first visit, but baby was a a few days smaller. Still could be 9 weeks, and he kept my estimated delivery date the same, since it was not 100%. So I'm going by 9w2days now. Starting to put on weight, since I have been blessed with the gift of NO MORNING SICKNESS!!!!!! (sorry Dorsal!!!!!! I am REALLY lucky, and have had some wonderful fellow pregnant ladies to converse with, and that's been so super helpful. Pistolita, ta2dmom, and of course the always fabulous Twwly and everyone in the Pregnant group. So many great mamas out there, I'm feeling really blessed and thankful lately.
Patricks been an ABSOLUTE perfect husband and expecting father. Reading his books, and telling me all the little things I am doing are normal. Being EXCEPTIONALLY patient with me, during my hormonal spazz out moments.. Is quick to remind me I'm still hot to him (because in MY eyes Im a huge fat cow, with no desirability whatsoever), and has been right there with me every step of the way. I can't believe how great things are going. We have had such bad luck with everything else in our LIVEs, finally, we have this miracle chance at becoming parents, and everything is simply falling into place.
We've picked out names, and are now starting to plan around the little one coming. I am REALLY convinced it's a boy, as I had dreams really early on about him 3 times. Once, as an infant, laughing and giggling and playing with his daddys face, in another he was a teenager, on a football team ( i couldn't SEE him, but he was at his game, and his coach was talking to me, and referring to him by one of the names we have picked out) and the third dream I had he was a toddler. Again, laughing and giggling and being a delight.
HOWEVER! Last night, I had a dream it was a girl. A very quiet and calm little baby girl. Sooooo WHO KNOWS! My instinct really screams boy. Patrick is CONVINCED it'll be a girl as punishment for his womanizing ways. I am ill equipted for a girl, I think. I am so the opposite of a girly girl, and I hardly think like a girl at all, aside from the occasional PMS.
Other than that, life has been just absolutely perfect. We are happier than ever, and really enjoying married life, and now the prospect of parenthood.
I am not out of the woods yet, for miscarriage I mean... So I am not disillusioned at the idea of potentially losing this baby.. But am trying to stay positive and keep those positive thoughts coming please!!!! We have been so very lucky to have two of the most supportive families in the world, and everyone is just so full of excitement and joy it's been absolutely amazing. We truly thank all of you who've already given your congratulations, and I will continue with updates, mostly for myself.... it makes it seem more real.
Next Dr's visit we get to listen to it's little heartbeat instead of just seeing it racing on the screen.
Here's the newest Munster, still abrewin' in mamas tummy.
If you look real hard, on the right is the head, black spot is an eye. at the bottom left is its little feet, and on top is Umbilical chord, and bottom is an arm! creeeeeepy!
And here's my tummy, losing it's muscle tone. hahahaha
Can't wait to see what that DISASTER of a 15 year old tattoo on my tummy will look like once this kid pops out.
