10 and a half weeks

Look at me go! I haven´t updated in a while, mainly because for the last month I have been dealing with my in-laws living in my house. I won´t go into details, but I have been stressed and annoyed to say the least. Good news is MY momma is coming to town on Friday!!! I need her and am so excited. She is also bringing me lots of goodies and some things to make it through pregnancy. Ya know, like Gas X and Colace, things I can´t find here. It´s like Christmas is coming early because she´s also bringing me lots of candy and things for my sewing machine too! And a new digital camera. I had an accident at the beach a while back. So, belly pics coming soon!

I forgot how much I like to sew. You should have seen how much dust I had to clean off of the machine. I guess when I was forced to stay up all night (I am the best procastinator you will ever meet) to finish dresses and garments for fashion school kinda sucked the fun out of it. I´m assuming that´s why I haven´t touched it in the past two years. My virtual friends (lol) started a sewing club. Our first project were baby blocks that double as toys and decorations. I did a total of four and have to say I was thoroughly impressed with the outcome. Soon as that digital camera shows up I will post them too. It really gave me a way to connect to the baby and I felt like such a mom making things for my offspring. It inspired me to make a whole lot more things. Could this be early nesting?

Also, I was dead set on having a boy. I have always imagined having a boy first to protect his little sister I will have later. Plus I kinda want a momma´s boy and I hear they are a bit easier to take care of as far as attitudes go. Of course with my past pregnancy history, all I am shooting for is healthy. Gender doesn´t matter. BUT I am kinda leaning towards a girl now. I already love bows, ever seen my tattoo? Can you imagine the possibilites? I guess I can´t wait to have a little girl to play dress up with and have little tea parties. Yay for pretty little dresses and lace and bows : ) Plus, I have this gut feeling I am gonna get a girl and she is gonna give me all the karma I deserve and all the things I did to my mom growing up are gonna come back at me ten-fold. I deserve it : )

My next appointment is Monday. I will be 11 weeks and some days. I feel like it will be the scariest appt. so far. Last week and this week are critical to me because it´s when my angel babies stopped growing and beating their sweet hearts. I just don´t think I could handle seeing that on the ultrasound again. It´s good mom will be here to hold my hand, but I hope just as much as she does that she gets a sneak peak at her first grandbaby and it is big and strong. It will finally look like a real baby too, not a shrimp.

And that´s all I´ve got.
