Ugh…the last couple of days have been…well…the best way to describe it is, bleh. I haven’t been sleeping well for awhile now, and it’s just getting worse. I can’t ever get comfortable at night, which makes me tired and grumpy (or should I say more tired and grumpy) the next day. I have to wear maternity clothes now because my ‘pre-baby’ clothes don’t fit anymore, but I’m still not really big enough for maternity tops yet. So I’m grouchy in the mornings and all day because I don’t have clothes that fit or look good enough for work (in my opionion – Paul disagrees). On top of the sleeping and clothing issue is this darn “pregnancy brain.” I can’t remember anything, forget stuf, lose stuff, and feel incompetant at work because I can’t stay as organized or on top of things as I used to. Grr. All I can think right now is…I have 5 more months of this?! I’m sure it’ll get better, just been a yucky couple of days. Ahh…the joys of pregnancy. Gotta love it!

I was in a meeting tonight and thought I felt the baby kick! I of course am not sure if it was really the baby or not…guess I won’t be sure until I feel it again. It felt different than anything I’ve felt before though, which makes me think that it was indeed the baby! It basically felt like a very very soft, teeny tiny, itsy bitsy flick from the inside of me. It was funny because as soon as I felt it, I looked right down at my belly, then starting poking around trying to make the baby kick me again, but of course, one was all I got. Must have been a funny sight for anyone that was watching me!
Anyway…I’ll be waiting for it to happen again to see if it really was the baby!

I was talking to a friend at work the other day about the 20 week ultrasound. She said that she videotaped hers so she could put it online. I called my doctor, and he said he doesn’t have a problem with us taping it. So…we’re going to videotape the entire ultrasound and put it on our youtube page so everyone can see it, plus we should find out what the sex is, so that’ll be an extra perk! We can’t wait! Hopefully this will be a really cool thing we can share with family and friends!
*Remember to cast your vote for “boy” or “girl” under the post “let the games begin!”

Tuesday, October 16th is the big day! I have my 20 week ultrasound at 2:30 and we are going to try to figure out what we’re having! So, anyone that wants to start putting in their guess can do so by adding a comment to this post. We’ll reward the winner(s) with a big “hurrah!” and of course the satisfaction of guessing correctly.
Paul’s vote is for Boy. Mine is for Girl.
Say some prayers that our little one will have it’s legs spread eagle so that it’s ‘parts’ are visible!

Last Thursday night, my mom, Ashley, her friend Erin and I went to Riverbend to see Toby Keith. I haven’t really listened to country since I was younger, but we had front row seats (first real row behind the pit) so I was IN! I didn’t know many songs, but he did play some old ones so that was great. We were really really close, got to see his sweat and nipples 🙂 Check out pictures by clicking here. They are on Ashley’s webpage…she just posted them so I decided to post about it too.

I’ve had 3 people point at my belly so far today and say “you’re poking out!” :-) Guess I’m starting to pop; thank God…I’m tired of looking like I just ate 2 Thanksgiving dinners every day! heheÂ

I had another baby dream last night. Well, a toddler dream, but either way, it was a boy. So that brings the tally to Boy – 2, Girl – 1.
Also, I hit the 15 week mark this morning. Time is really going fast now, but I’m sure it’ll go even faster as the weeks continue. I still haven’t “popped out” yet, but hopefully that’ll come in a week or two.Â
I had a Dr. visit last Thursday. We got to hear the heartbeat! Our little one is working hard in there! I’ve gained 5.5 pounds too. Actually I’ve lost .5 pounds since my last Dr. visit. Probably because I was eating every 45 minutes before, and for the last 3-4 weeks I’ve been eating normally/healthier again. Feeling great; no more nausea just really really tired.
Yes, we’re sorry about not getting a 14 week picture online. We got really busy last week and didn’t realize it until Thursday or Friday. We’ll try to remember to take one tonight. Not much has changed though.

For the Labor Day weekend, Paul and I went with our church to Cathedral Domain. The Episcopal Diocese of Lexington have over 800 acres of land near Irvine, KY that has a camp and conference center on it. Each church gets ‘a weekend’ at the Domain, and Labor Day is our church’s weekend. It’s a great time to meet members of the church. It’s not a retreat type weekend, it’s more of a ‘come and hang out and meet some people that you see every week’ type thing. It was great.
We could have stayed in a camp with 12 bunk beds on either side and share a restroom, but since it was our first year going, and we didn’t know that many people, we opted for what people referred to as the “Hilton,” which was more of a dorm-type setup, with a double occupancy room with it’s own bathroom. Quite spiffy for a camp!
We got to the Domain Friday night about 915pm, unloaded, then took a walk around to see what the place was like. We met a few people then headed off to bed. We spent the weekend hanging out with new friends, getting to know people, playing games, eating (a lot), sitting by the pool, having a few drinks (well…Paul anyway) and a lot of laughs. We did some hiking, and caving as well. We are really glad we went. We finally got to put names, and life stories to about 50 people that we’ve seen in church for years but never have gotten to know.
We’re really glad for the experience. We want to feel more a part of the church, especially because we’re bringing our little one into it. Everyone was very excited to hear that we are expecting. There were actually 2 other women that were pregnant at the Domain; one due in February, and one in April, so our little one will have instant friends!
