Poll Results!

Well, the race was close with 3 votes for a boy, 4 votes for a girl and 3 votes for a puppy! I can tell those of you who voted "puppy" are WRONG! :o) We will MOST DEFINATELY NOT be getting another dog in July!

A little over a week and the answer will be revealed! I can't complain these past almost 3 weeks have flown by! Maybe that is because Scotty and I already know the answer. :o)

"Hotel Delnor"

So I COMPLETELY understand why woman who have delivered their babies at Delnor call it “Hotel Delnor.” HOLY MOLEY! It is GORGEOUS! I cannot wait to use the stunning bathroom and the IN ROOM COMPUTER! We will be able to keep you all updated! You also need to get a glimpse of the garden visiting room. Sheesh!

So yes, that means we finally got our tour in. I loved the fact that Tanner was invited to see where “Mommy and the new baby will be staying” and he liked all of the snack stations. :o) Did I mention the complimentary snack stations and the gorgeous garden room? How could I forget the complimentary massage too??? I may never want to go home!

To say that I was beyond impressed would be an understatement. SO EXCITED!

DAAAAAAAAANG!

I almost fell over yesterday when I caught a glimpse of my (big) belly in the bathroom mirror. I am proud to say that this time around I look pretty darn good! (No modesty here today!) I actually LOOK PREGNANT and not just like a big fat fatty! In fact, I am going to have Scotty take a pic of me this weekend. I already practiced my pose in the mirror. SNORT! Of all of the pathetic things I have done during this pregnancy, that ranks right up on top!

I do think my belly looks bigger than it should for being almost 18 weeks but I can’t really judge it against anything because last time around I was huge everywhere. I have a little sneaking in under my chin but I can still see my collar bones so I am in good shape. No pun intended!

P.S. I get an average of 10 visits a day to this blog and only have 5 votes...turds! :o)

The results are in!

It was nice to see the little one again today. I can tell you that he/she has a large head and long legs! Just like Daddy! The head was measuring 17 weeks 6 days and the legs were measuring at 18 weeks. Heartbeat was nice and strong!

Scotty and I know what we are having but he won't let me spill the beans until after our Level 2 ultrasound on March 10th. Sorry! Send all hate mail to him! :o)

Place your guess on our poll. You will know in about 2½ weeks whether you were right and Scott and I can laugh at all the wrong answers in the mean time. Fun for everyone!

An early sneaky-peek!

Yesterday was another appointment and thanks to my WONDERFUL OB/GYN I have weaseled my way into an ultrasound tomorrow and I am hoping that we may be able to know if the new baby will be a member or Team Mommy or Team Daddy/Tanner. Scott wants to wait until week 20 to find out but I am going to over power him on this one. I have been letting the little one know it can give me all the heartburn it wants as long as he/she is cooperative tomorrow!

My appointment was uneventful which equals GOOD! We went over my ailments as for the Charlie Horses I am supposed to try to get in more calcium…by eating a few Tums. HA! When I told him how many I was already eating due to my heartburn he suggested an over-the-counter antacid pill to hopefully help with that. I guess I see even more milk in my future.

Until tomorrow…EEEEEEEEEEEK!

And our child shall be named Charlie…

…for all of the Charlie Horses I am getting in the middle of the night! SHEESH! And yep, still have the heartburn! It is quite the combo at 2:00 in the morning! Oh, and let’s mix in Tanner climbing into the middle of our bed and kicking me throughout the night along with Roeni, Ruthie and Daddy snoring. GOOD TIMES!

We have been trying to plan our “Tour de Delnor” but something always seems to come up on the weekends. Scott volunteers at Delnor and has said that the waiting area of the Maternity Ward is very nice and I know a couple of women who have delivered there who say that the rooms and bathrooms are AMAZING! Apparently it is more like an upscale hotel room than a hospital room. I will let you know if we ever make it on a tour!

Monday brings another doctor’s appointment…no ultrasound, but at least I will be able to hear the heartbeat for a small sense of satisfaction and it does mark one more week closer to our Level 2 ultrasound!

I love you, GlaxoSmithKline!

Glaxo is the maker of Tums, by the way...and my true Valentine! :o) Who needs chocolate when you can have Tums Smoothies and it gives you heartburn anyway?

The old wive's tale claims that if you have heartburn your child will be born with lots of hair. This child better come out with the biggest head of hair I have ever seen! I remember having heartburn with Tanner, but not until later in my pregnancy. He was born with a strip of hair that resembled a mohawk so I am not putting much faith in this child having long, flowing locks either!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
