Patience is a virtue. I think I'm out of luck.

One week from today, we get to see our little Bean again!! This wait to find out if it will be 'snips and snails and puppy dog tails' or 'sugar and spice and everything nice' is killing us. We're counting down the days until it's time. Thank goodness I got the first appointment of the day! I don't think I could stand the wait if our appointment wasn't until the afternoon.

Today is not only special because it is T minus one week until we see Bean, it's special because it's my mom's birthday. Yay! All together now...

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday dear Mom/Marcy/Nana....

Happy Birthday tooooooo youuuuuu!!!!

Have a wonderful day mom! We love you!

Today is just a good day all around! We're finally getting some much, much, much needed rain, I made a huge pot of yummy soup for tomorrow's dinner so I don't have to cook tomorrow, I'm roasting a chicken for tonight's dinner and the house smells divine. Better than all these things though is feeling Bean move around! Yesterday, he/she did a somersault and I felt the roll around my whole stomach. Today, I've been feeling more somethings...it's hard to explain. Kind of like someone put a pager in my stomach and it keeps going off. Except its a much faster vibration and only lasts for a few seconds. I didn't realize that the vibrations were the baby...honestly I thought I was having regular muscle spasms. Yeah, I'm a little slow. But today, as I was sitting with two of my neighbors (both are pregnant) it happened and I stopped talking to press on the "spasm". They asked if I was ok and I told them what was happening. At the exact same moment they both said "It's the baby!". Duh Jamie. Oh well...so now I know and I'm sitting on the couch willing it to happen again. How wonderful this pregnancy thing is! :)
