Random Things

Well we are still waiting for the genetic test results.  They said 7 to 10 days so I'm sure any day we will get a call and let us know that all is okay.  I am really looking forward to our December appointment.  I'm wondering if they will do a sonogram or just use the doppler thing to hear the heartbeat. You only get one a trimester with the exception of the first trimester, if you do the genetic test then you get two.  That was another reason why we did the test, so we could have another peek at the baby.  :-)
I will be 16 weeks at the December appointment so I wonder if they do a sonogram, will they be able to confirm if Baby Plemons is indeed a boy or if they will wait till January when a bit further along.  Brian and I can hold off on buying things but I'm not sure if my sister-in-law can.  Michelle is a "deal" finder and and is so excited about Baby Plemons that I can just see her buying all kinds of boy things.  It is hard to beat that impulse of must have or get, trust me I know, I deal with it when it comes to handbags!!  All I can say is please be a boy Baby Plemons because your Aunt Michelle and MiMi are over the top excited and dieing to buy!

I've started cleaning out the "junk" room so we can convert it to the baby's room.  I didn't think we were big pack rats or considered myself a hoarder but now I believe that we just may be.  I am amazed at how much junk we have accumulated.  It's crazy.  Anyways, I still have a ways to go so will tackle it again this weekend.  Oh joy!

Anna and Bear have been extra snuggly towards me.  Anna more so than Bear but they both are super clued to me when I'm home.  They've always sat in our laps but now they want to lay on my belly.  They both try to be the closest to me but Anna usually wins out.  It's so funny.  I think they know I'm pregnant and want to be close and keep the baby warm.   So they are the brother and sister protectors of Baby Plemons.  I'm a bit fearful that whenever Baby Plemons is here that he possibly won't be able to sleep unless the dogs are in the crib snuggled up with him.  And his first words are bound to be either "bear bear" or "anna banana."

I've had a few people ask me to take belly pictures.  My first reaction was, "really" I'm not so sure about looking at it much less anyone else.  That was really before I've started growing.  I always thought that it would bother me to having a large, growing stomach but surprisingly it hasn't bothered me at all.  Instead it's almost a sign of relief or reassuring for me because I know that the baby is growing as should be.  I'm really not showing that much yet.  More so later in the day when the gas and bloating builds up.  So I've taken a couple of pictures tonight so you can see what I look like all bloated and gasy.  The mornings there isn't much to see yet but we are getting there!  Today I am 14 weeks, 2 days.
