Have you ever had to pee so bad that you cried like a child in the waiting room of the dr's office? I HAVE! Wednesday was a very exciting and wonderful day for us to find out that our baby is healthy so far and is a little girl, but finding this out came at the serious breakdown of Sylvia's mommy. You have to have a full bladder for the first part of this ultrasound so that they can see the things they need to see and measure. The instructions say to drink 32 oz water w/in the hour prior to the visit. Well, I wasn't sure I would be able to drink the full 32 oz w/in the hour of the visit since I was leaving from work to the visit, so I just steadily drank water through out my morning without relieving myself, figuring this would work the same as the 32 oz in an hour. Well, it worked way way way too good. As we were waiting for them to call my name the urge to pee was becoming more and more urgent. (It does not help my dr's waiting room has a waterfall running! This is not a joke...they really do!) At first Allen and I were laughing about it, hahaha, drank too much water. As the minutes ticked by the humor was completely lost on me, when I realized I had to go pee worse than any time in my whole life that I can remember. It was painful, and I became quite certain that I wasn't going to make it, but I knew I had to make it or they wouldn't be able to check what they needed to check. So I held it , and held it, annnd held it. Allen kept asking me if I was going to be ok? Then he switched from asking me if I was going to be ok, because the answer each time was NO!, to telling me, "You're gonna be alright." Then they started calling people back into the ultrasound rooms that got there a long time after me. I really started to lose it. I turned into what I can only describe as a waiting room monster. They were 20 minutes late and my bladder was over an hour WAY too full. I started to cry...Allen told me, "Don't cry!" I snapped, "Don't be tired!" (He hadn't been to bed yet.) I started to sweat and feel lightheaded. I just knew I was going to pass out in the waiting room on my big ultrasound day and pee all over their floor. I began to think that perhaps I had the wrong appointment time, that maybe instead of 9:15 it was actually 9:45. I went to the front desk to confirm my time and was told 9:15 was correct, they were just running a little behind. I started to ask how far behind but couldn't hardly breathe and I was crying so, I opened my mouth to ask how far behind, but what came out of my mouth was, "Can we check to see when they are going to get me in because I am going to pee my pants." The girl said I will see what they can do, and sure enough two minutes later it was my turn. It's a good thing too, because I honestly believe if I had to wait even five more minutes, I would have had to reschedule that appointment. It was definately a memorable day in the waiting room!

Halfway point! :)
20 weeks down. 20 weeks (or less?) to go! Tomorrow is finally the big ultrasound day. I'm probably not going to sleep very well tonight because I'm so excited to see this little one I am carrying. Allen is so excited too! Tomorrow's picture will not be a picture of a fruit or vegetable, but a picture of what baby C really looks like right now! :)
Quick shout out to our friends Jessica and Alex celebrating their 3rd wedding anniversary today! Congratulations! Here's to many many many more years of happiness to you! Love you guys!

Of course...
Lawn mower broke this week, what a coincidence that this weekend is one of the few weekends my job is offering over time......ironic, eh? Thought we might be able to put some extra money in the bank, instead...it's already spent before I earn it. Go figure. Sigh! Off to bed for me! Love you all!

19 weeks!
This is going to be the longest week! One week from tomorrow is the big day to find out the baby's sex. I'm still having conversations with this little one to make sure they know that next Wednesday is their big day to show their stuff!

AHHHHH!!!!
There's a baby in my belly!
Yesterday was a big day for me. I felt the baby move for the first time. I was sitting at work listening to a coworker when I felt it in my lower abdomen, clear as day. It was very strange, but wonderful. I made me coworker stop talking because I was so surpised. I still can't believe there is a human being living inside me! :)
Not much going on this week. The temperature this week has been a lot better for Allen at work than last week. I would think we've had our share of rain for quite a while...but it seems there is more on it's way.
Going to spend time in Sturgeon this weekend, can't wait to visit with everyone.
Hope everyone has had a good week! Tomorrow is Friday! :)
