19w1d

Okay, so I know I'm bad and that I haven't writen a single thing since my very first post. So I'm not even going to attempt to fill you in on what happened inbetween because anyone reading this knows the major points in our life and if you have any questions you can just ask. So I'm just going to start fresh.

Everything has been wonderful, except this darn thing they call heartburn. Yes, I'm sure you all know what it is and may even have had the wonderful opportunity of experiencing it. It is not fun. It always seems to come around when I have nothing to take to make it better, so I am stuck just waiting for it to go away. Oh well, I can't complain. I wanted a baby and if this is the small price that I have to pay, then so be it. My last appoitment was on August 20th. It was great! We had our first ultra sound. It was so neat seeing all it's little parts. And yes, we chose to find out the gender. It's a BOY!!! Tyson was so excited, I am too though, dont' get me wrong. I was actually hoping for a boy because isn't there some saying out there like your daughts turn out like you ten fold or something. I don't know, maybe it's just what my mother always threatened me with. And I know I wasn't a joy to be around some times, so we'll just see what the future brings us. Oh, and by the way, if anyone was wondering, yes, I did gain weight. I actually gained 4 lbs. which my OB said was perfect, but I have a feeling when I go in for our next appointment it's going to be double that, if not triple. At least that how huge I feel. But anywho, so this last Friday when Tyson got paid ;) we decided to make our first round of baby shopping. I was very excited, Tyson tried to be reserved but I could tell he was excited too. We got a little outfit that was a pair a kahki (spelling?) pants and an orange hoodie. It was adorable, and then we got a thing of onsies and a cute, soft little blanket. We didn't want to go crazy because we knew that our families would so that's all we ended up with. But tomorrow we have to go get groceries and are planning on buying our first round of diapers. I'm not sure what to think, although from what I've been told I have to keep all my receipts because I may have too much of one size and have to take some back and exchange, which is fine, but what happens if I loose them from between now and then? I guess we'll just wait and find out.
So as you can see this is the exciting portion of my boring life. I'm not complaining though because I'm very excited for what the future holds. This fall semester is off to a good start. I love all my professors, so far. Hopefully it goes by smoothly. Although the one thing I'm not looking forward to is having to buy new clinical uniforms. Hehe, it's kind of funny because I already can't fit into some of my scrub tops. The girls at work just laugh. But I figure all my pants still fit so I'm in pretty good condition.
So on another note. I would love to be able to download some pictures, ultra sound and belly shots, on here but...first my camera battery decided to die and for some reason has decided that it doesn't want to charge, so now I have to go get a new battery but easier said than done. Finding the time to get a new one is the hardest part. I'm hoping this weekend. Ok, so second I don't have a scanner to download pictures either. So there, this is my sorry explanation.
Haha...I just have to laugh at myself because I ramble on a lot. And this is what I do on a daily basis, well lately anyway, so don't feel bad if you're beginning to nod off. I totally understand. Alrighty, well I'm all caught up and hopefully my ladies on the BBC board will be please that I've finally done a little updating :) So I hope you all have a good one and stay tuned, but if you don't I understand.
