Heartbeats, Joy, Sickness and Cribs

So we had our first appointment on Monday. It was the most amazing thing ever! Sorry everyone, it's not twins. Looks like we'll just be having one. I had some mixed feelings about that, a little disappointed and a little relieved. But I'm happy. I have a healthy little baby growing inside of me, what more can I ask for?

The top picture is in 3D and the bottom one is just your normal 2D image. Hearing that little heart beat was the most touching and life changing sound that I've ever heard. It absolutely feels real now. I can't wait! Cam's so excited too, I love it. He's been so involved and helpful and I just couldn't imagine my life without him. I am one lucky chick!

Poor Cam has been so sick for the last week. He's had a really bad cold that he's been trying to get over and I've been trying to take care of him the best that I can but I have also been sick. I guess I spoke a little too soon last week when I said I really haven't been that sick. Because since last Thursday I have had pretty much constant morning sickness. The worst so far is this morning on my way to work. I had to pull over three times and I was 20 minutes late. It was not fun! But the doctor said that right now is usually the peaking time for morning sickness and it should cool down from here. I sure hope so! For the first little while it was kind of fun when I felt sick, I'd just laugh and be excited and it was fine. But I think it was Saturday that I finally said, okay this is not fun anymore! When I was sick at first, all I had to do was eat and I would be fine. Now I feel like all that I do all day is eat. I usually feel better for about five minutes after I eat and then I get sick again. Yes it's absolutely worth it, but no it's not very fun. I've also been waking up at 3am every morning, and I'm talking wide awake and for the last few days I've had a hard time falling asleep too so I haven't slept very much. We've been pretty busy lately but tonight I will be napping as soon as I get home!

So on labor day Cam's parents came into town and bought us a crib that we liked at Stork Landing as seen here:

They said that it was two weeks out and as soon as it got in they would call and set up a time for delivery. So weeks have passed and last Monday I called them and they said that the manufacturer hadn't made enough and they were supposed to be getting more by Tuesday, Sep 30 at the very latest and again they would call me as soon as they were in. So of course, when I didn't hear from them yesterday, I called to find out was going on. I know that our baby isn't going to be here for a while, but I'm just really surprised that they don't call and give updates on the status, where it's already paid for. So yesterday they told me that they've had some problems with the company because a) they just got bought out by a different company and b) they are having problems keeping up with orders. So they're hoping, but not promising, that they will be here by the 10th. Again, I know that our baby is not due for a long time but I just can't believe how unprofessional they are. You would think that they would atleast call us and let us know what's going on.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, they moved my due date up. After measuring baby they put my due date at April 30, a few days earlier, so I'm excited!

So I made a slip of the tongue the other day at my parents house and said, "it's a boy, I know it's a boy". The second those words came out of my mouth, I was like what are you thinking? I don't even know where it came from or why I said it. I have not even an inkling of what it is. And then something weird happened when we were having the ultrasound. When the doctor went to measure, she clicked with the cursor at the head and dragged to the tail end and when she clicked on the tail end the word "girl" flashed for a second. I don't know what that was all about but it made me wonder if it was some kind of premonition. In all honesty, I have no idea what we're having and it really doesn't matter either way to me, but I would like to know. It sounds like we'll be finding out the sex a week or two before christmas, so we're very excited and can't wait for that! It'll be a long process but we're excited and can't wait for baby to come!
