Wow. Times flies when you are going to the doctor, traveling, Christmas shopping yet maintaining to live your "normal" life. In the month of December we had Christmas get-togethers with friends, birthdays, a cruise to Mexico, our second doctors appointment, family holiday functions, Bama bowl game and New Years eve festivities. Since this is the baby's blog I guess I'll fill you in on that appointment. I went in and did the routine stuff. Lost one pound, no performance anxiety on the urine test sample and then heard the heartbeat. The rate was 168 beats per minute. All the old wives' tale believers say this would predict a girl. All the Chinese gender charts say boy. So, I'll continue with the purchasing of yellow until February. Clint and I think, for this month at least, that we know the names for whatever it might be. Perfect little bean monikers. Morning sickness found me and really wants to be my best friend. I try to ignore him and that doesn't work. After the display I made in my front yard (12/31) I'm sure the neighbors think I either have a severe drinking problem or have figured out why our cars rarely leave the driveway on the weekends anymore. Everyone said it would get better by week 12 or 13. They lied to me. The headaches are more frequent and I think my stomach is really wanting to live on the outside of my body.
The undecorated, unfurnished nursery is already taking on the life of a baby room despite the big purchases to prove so. We have diapers (Swaddlers - all the friends recommend them), wipes (Pampers sensitive and Kirkland unscented), blankets, books, a piggy bank, onesies and other little randoms. We are going to get furniture as soon as we can. I already can visualize exactly what I want! Surprised?
