Carter and I went to my 16 week appointment on Thursday, with my new doctor. We both were very impressed and really liked the whole practice. Thank goodness. We got thrown off a little initially when one of the nurses asked if we wanted to get our ultrasound. Huh? We're used to getting them at 20 weeks. Carter got all excited and I could tell he wanted to find out, if we could. I was just thrown off and couldn't even decide what I wanted to do. Luckily, the doctor cleared it up and said it was best to do it between 18-20 weeks, so that you could see everything clear enough. After meeting with the doctor, we sat down with her nurse to go over some things and schedule the next appointment and ultrasound, on June 2nd. So only 3 weeks to wait to find out what this little bugger is! It still makes me somewhat nervous that they won't be able to see what sex it is if the baby isn't cooperating. I can't handle that, I need to figure out this room situation.
We've been cleaning out the basement and giving away/selling stuff, including some baby things that we don't want anymore. I've been consolidating the 20+ boxes of girl clothes that we have and anything that isn't my style or we have enough of, I'm putting aside in case my brother has a girl. The bedding that Savannah had as a baby was so stinking adorable, but it's red, black and white. If we have a girl, that won't match in Savannah's room, unless we totally re-decorated, so I want to offer that to my brother as well, if it's a girl, but they might want to pick out their own stuff, so we'll see. I've started looking at bunk beds and dressers online. Carter and I have been talking about starting to finish the basement. And by "starting", I mean getting a plan together. If we don't even know what we need to do first, we'll never start. I made Carter some very fabulous sketches of how I think the basement should look while we waited in the doctors office.
I've been feeling pretty good lately. Most of the fatigue is gone and I've gotten some energy back. I don't think I've really gained anything, maybe a pound, which is awesome. My hair is growing in like crazy, which would be cool if I didn't have TONS OF ONE INCH HAIRS STICKING OUT OF MY HEAD! My boobs are huge. Seriously huge. They don't hurt as much anymore, but I can't imagine them getting any bigger after the baby is born. I might fall forward if they do.
The kids are talking about the baby more. Savannah still says she wants a boy and a girl. Carter has shown the kids that they can talk to the baby through my belly. Cooper thinks that's pretty fun and comes up and says "baby" and points to my belly. Well, first he points to my boobs and then I re-direct him. Savannah was a little concerned the other day with where the baby would sleep. I explained to her that once we found out if it was a boy or girl, then we would change her or Cooper's room to fit the baby. I told her if it was a girl, then we'd have to get her a new bed and change her room, and she was kind of excited about that.
That will have to be my update for now, the kids are hungry for breakfast.

You know, Cooper's sort of got it right. When HE thinks of baby, he thinks of boobs. That's what he used last when he was a baby. Ha ha!! So, if you were to finish the basement would you move rooms around or is that more far off down the road? Wow, in 3 or so weeks you'll be half way. That's weird. And I would have totally done an ultrasound, why not!?! Even if you don't see the sex, you see the baby. Hope you continue feeling great!!
Yahoo...so glad you like the new doc! That's hilarious....caught myself laughing out loud. Cooper's a guy...guys always notice the boobs! Just don't fall over forward OR backward! How fun to think of the basement, redecorating, making space for a new baby...and even better when you are also feeling better. Happy for that. We were talking today about Savannah coming up for an overnighter...when you think she's ready, of course. Elliott thinks she is just so smart and fun. When you want a break, let us know! I think SHE'S ready! I, too, am nervous about the sonogram and learning the sex. Goodness....this is really gonna happen....WOW.
We just want to finish the basement to have more room in general. Move the computer downstairs with a bed and then have a more chill family room with toys and stuff. I wouldn't trust either of the kids down there by themselves, and I wouldn't get any sleep with them that far away. : )
