I hate the heat, plus some other stuff thats going on.

I'm so ready for the chill of Autumn. I feel like a big 'ol walking brick oven. Its cloudy today, and not too hot, so I'm a little more pleasant. Not nearly as happy as I am in October and November!

Due Date:
Who knows at this point. I was originally due March 9th. When I got my first ultrasound, they said March 4th... when I had the First Trimester Screening (for Downs syndrome- all is well), they measured me at Feb. 27! WTF! How big is this baby going to be???? Thingey just keeps growing and growing. At this rate, by my 20 week ultrasound, it will probably be January!

Clothes:
I am wearing the same 2 pairs of pants, alternately, until school starts. I bought maternity clothes, and hopefully, I won't get so big that I have to buy new before the baby comes. I should be wearing them now, but its like when I was younger... don't wear your new fall clothes until school starts. I've always been that way too.

Luckily, I can still wear most of my non-preggo shirts (minus a few that are just too short), so all of my nice long sleeve preggo shirts will wait until it cools off a bit. Here's my favorite purchase..


If I could only knit... I'd have saved a ton of money! Actually, it wasn't too bad. Oh, I am biting the bullet and buying a new bra for my porn star boobs. I swear, they grew over night. :o

Sleep (or lack thereof):
Insomnia is killing me. I hope that it goes away soon. I fall asleep, and like clockwork, I get up to go to the bathroom, and I'm awake for 3 hours, then fall asleep for 1 more hour. So, I've been getting about 4 hours sleep a day. blah. I'm ready to tell John to hit me with a big brick.

And to end off this post... I'll throw in a picture of Thingey. I think it looks like John. I also think that "it" is a she. So does John, and my dad. I've had a few dreams about a bald baby girl.. eventhough in one of them she turned out to be my cat, Winston (the black and white one).

Looks like something from the X-files

Can you tell that this is a baby? Looks more like some creature from the X-files! The tech said that the head is on the bottom and you can kindof see the arms sticking out of one side. I can't see it, but I'm sure they are there, and waving away. All I see is my little wavy blob. I felt like that episode of Friends, where Rachel couldn't see the baby in the ultrasound.. I just couldn't figure mine out. At least I know its only one! It was cool to see the heart beat (163 bpm), and Thingey was flickering a bit.
You know, if you stare at it long enough, a face appears... kindof like in those 3D pictures that you have to stare at the dots to see a dolphin... I see Gollum (from LOTR) when I stare too long.
OH, apparently I am measuring at 9 weeks 3 days, instead of 8 weeks 4 days. That would put me at early March. Who knows.
