So Sleepy....

I am kind of liking this whole pregnant thing and then sometimes I am like "Man, I really want it to be over."  So sleepy all the time and feel like I am getting nothing accomplished that I need to.  The first thing I want to do when I get home is fall asleep on the couch or eat and then fall asleep.  Chris and I are totally mall walkers when it is cold outside so we do that a lot to help me stay awake.  I'm still super giddy about the baby and really really have felt like it is a GIRL since the day I have found out.  Surprisingly Chris has felt like it is a girl as well so we have only thought about girl names.  He really would love a little boy but I know he is going to melt in a huge puddle of mush if it is a baby girl.  We have two dogs right now, one female one male, and he is wrapped around our little female dogs paw (she is a freaking dog, imagine what he will do when it is his own flesh and blood)!  I can't wait though, he is going to be a pretty exceptional father if I do say so myself.  So I felt around 8 1/2 weeks I started to get a little pouchy and took a quick picture of myself in the mirror....may just be I ate more that day and look fatter than normal but oh well I am going to say it is because I'm smaller and it is the baby ; )

Around 10 weeks we went to the mall to buy a present for my friends birthday. I decided to wear a tighter shirt than I have been wearing out since the beginning pregnancy belly isn't very flattering in my mind.  Don't mind my Braums cup, I really, really wanted frozen yogurt but even before I was pregnant I always wanted frozen yogurt with pecans and strawberries in it.

Atleast I can still wear my jeans : )  We will see how long that lasts.....

First Ultrasound

Maybe it is all these crazy horomones or maybe it is I am really emotional anyway but after I saw my baby for the FIRST time I had an awesome little cry session on my way back to work!  Unfortunately, Chris could not come to the first appointment to meet my awesome doctor and see the baby since he was in beautiful Cancun (ok maybe I was hugely jealous of him) so I took a little video to show him.  An even bigger reason I took a video was to show him if we were having only one baby or having twins *pretty huge chance of me having twins so it was a little scary thought that had come up once or twice or even a bajillion times*.  My doctor is so stinking sweet and so unbelieveably patient, she is just awesome.  Anyway here is the short little video of our little bundle of joy's heartbeat!!!  The due date is still 9-11-12 but I was told I dont have to have my baby on that date if I don't want to (oh thank goodness)!  Chris really wants us to have it on our wedding anniversary, 9-10-11, but I really want the baby to have it's very own day to be cellebrated.  Only God knows though.  I know where the baby is in the video just because I was there and saw it but my darn phone put a glare on the screen so it is pretty hard to see the baby.  Although, at 8 1/2 weeks the baby is pretty darn tiny and sorry but it looks like a little bean/ alien so it isn't much to look at anyway.  It is my little bean/ alien though and I love every milameter of it!  Here is the first veiwing of our little Baby Bouldin.....

Yep, totally cry worthy in my book!
