So I guess I haven't kept my promise to keep the blog updated, but I AM trying... it will get better. So this is what has been happening.
We had a great Thanksgiving. It was like our other holidays. One place after another. Has anyone seen Four Christmases? Well that is kind of what it is like, except for less crazy family. We also had a group of friends over the following Saturday for a friends' Thanksgiving. I was reminded of how lucky we are to have such great friends. I think God has truly blessed us and I am working on being more thankful everyday.
On Moday we went to the Dr. again. The nurse said we were going to just check the heartbeat with the doppler and then we would see the doctor. So we start with the doppler, but she couldn't find anything. So off to get another ultrasound. The heartbeat was 158 bpm and here are the pics...
We actually saw the baby dancing and moving around. It was amazing!
So the rest of the week went by and I was on cloud 9! I was so happy to see my baby! We decorated the tree and got ready for Christmas and here is where the hormones come into play.
So we finish the tree and Joey puts the angel on top. If you know anything about me, you should know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas. I don't care about the gifts or all the material things. I just find so much happines in the lights and the colors and the love! Ok so it is basically one of the most important thing to me. So back to the angel. Joey puts it on top and it's crooked so I say, "FIX IT!" He tries and it is still crooked and he tells me that is won't get any straighter. So I burst into tears! I don't mean a little teary eyed. I mean a blubbering fool. Then joey starts laughing because, well, it is pretty ridiculous. So I cry even harder. About 15 minutes later I come to my senses and try to figure out where all that came from.
Then today it happened again. We went to eat and when we left the parking lot there was a stray dog. I pointed him out to Joey and told him I thought it was sad that the poor little dog didn't have a home and that he was going to be hungry and cold and you guessed it. I was bawling my eyes out! I was crying to hard for that dog that I couldn't breath. Joey didn't know what to do and he asked me if I was crying because of the dog and without skipping a beat I say, "NO! I am crying for all the puppies in the world!" ... and i was serious!
So I ask you. When are the hormones supposed to kick in? People keep telling me that they are going to be a heck of a rollercoaster!
