Pink or Blue???

We are going in about an hour to have our second ultrasound.  This means that we will (hopefully) know by the end of the day if we should be buying bows and doll babies or tonka trucks and bb guns.  The suspense is killing me.  Richard and I both are having a very hard time thinking about anything else.  Not only will we find out the sex of LBD, but we will also find out all the measurements and make sure everything is growing and functioning like it should be.  I am NERVOUS.  Everyone keeps asking what we want, but we can honestly say that we don't care one way or the other.  The thought of a boy makes my heart leap, but the thought of a little girl makes me just as excited.  Whatever the ultrasound reveals will be exactly what we've always wanted:)  I'll keep you posted and hopefully get some pictures up later today!

Does this maternity shirt make me look fat?

I'm at that awkward stage right now where I don't look pregnant.  I simply look like I've been hitting the turkey and dressing a little hard.  The sweater I wore today definitely accentuated the baby bump and I had more comments on the belly than ever before.  Part of me loves hearing those comments and the other part of me just feels like they're saying I look fat:)  I know this is not the case, but any woman who has ever been pregnant can probably identify with this dilemma.

I am so thankful that the nausea of the first trimester seems to gone for good.  It was nice having an appetite for all of the yummy Thanksgiving food.  I am SLIGHTLY emotional lately.  I seem to cry at the drop of a hat and for no good reason....or, I just think of as many reasons to cry as I possibly can and then I can't stop.  I'm still nodding off in my dinner plate most nights.  I haven't seen a whole episode of CSI Miami so long that I'm not even sure if Horatio is one of the good guys anymore.  

Another crazy thing with pregnancy has been the dreams.  I've been having those vivid, so real they're scary dreams.  Some are just plain weird and make no sense whatsoever.  I've been dreaming a lot about being at my Mema and Poppy's house lately.
