12 weeks

Well I'm officially in my 2nd trimester. YEAH!! I went to the doctor Tuesday and everything looks good. I did get another sono, and the baby was moving around like crazy. The heartbeat was 170, so Teresa (lady I work with) says it is a girl for now. Jeff came with me and didn't say much. He said that the nurse and I were on drugs, because he could tell what anything was on the sono. The baby is still little so it is difficult to tell. I think he'll start to see more of the baby image on the next one.

My sickness has been much better, I still feel a little ill at night but for the most part it is better. Jeff is doing great in school. He got a B in his English mini-mester class and we were both very excited about that. He started his Spring classes this week and everything seems great.

Yogi is doing great. I think he is the most excited about the new baby!!! LOL

Big News

I have to post this because it is so exciting. My friends Jit and Kik adopted a baby girl from Guatemala back in Nov. Well they got to bring her home in Nov. She is so beautiful and will be one year in March. They just told me Saturday that Kik is pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone is so excited, and cannot wait. I told her this was going to happen, and now she believes me!!!!

Bedding

Well Jeff and I decided to order our bedding for the babies crib, even though we dont't even have a crib yet. Most of you know that I don't believe in showers, so I will not being having one. I thought it would be a good idea for Jeff and I to start buying the baby things now so that we don't have to buy all the stuff at the end of my pregnancy. We started with the bedding because I found the cutest bedding at WalMart, it was a 10 piece set for a very reasonable price. It can be used for either a boy or a girl. The walls will be green or yellow (depending on the sex), because I cannot stand pink or blue. That is one reason I didn't want to find out the sex of the baby, because when you do find out people either buy you pink or blue things, I like the more neutral colors.

Here is a picture.

Emotions

I know this isn't a news flash about pregnant women, but I have been very emotional lately. Last weekend Jeff and I drove up to his parents to get there mail for them (they're in Florida), and I got really emotional of course I started crying. I didn't let Jeff see that I was crying, because he thinks I have enough mood swings as it is. I started thinking about my great grandmothers, and Jeff's grandparents that are no longer with us. I know this sounds a little strange, but I was very close with my GG's and Jeff was extremely close with his grandfather Pepe. I guess I started to think about what they taught us and the impact they had on our life. My sister's and I were fortunate enough to have two of our GG's live in the same block as us and one in the next town. I think back to all the songs my Nanny Bo use to sing us and Nanny Malson and her wonderful back massages. I guess you take things for granted until later in life you realize there not there anymore and how much you miss them, then you would do anything to get them back. Even though all my GGs meant a lot to me my Nanny Bo was probably the most influential in my life, and it makes me sad to think that my child will never now the great women that were the foundation of our family.


Jeff had wonderful grandparents that he was very close to. I was never lucky enough to meet them, but from what I hear they were the best. I know Jeff misses playing golf with his grandpa, and watching Wheel of Fortune. I can say our child will also be blessed with wonderful great grandparents and wonderful grandparents too.
