Which one do you think?

We go into the doctor on May 7th and if our baby cooperates, we get to find out what we are having. So what do you think we are going to buy? Blue or Pink? I really am curious to what you all think we are going to have so leave a comment with your guess. (I know it is a total guess, but I still want to know!)

Stay tuned for the official news!
(Aren't these totally adorable? I can't wait to start buying things for our baby!!)

Update

I am officially on week 14 (tomorrow) and I am feeling much better. I have finally pinpointed why I have been so sick the last couple weeks and have realized that it was due to these crappy horrible prenatal vitamins I was taking. Yes, they were a generic brand from Target and they are the most evil horrible things I have ever swallowed. Come to find out, every single time I would take them, the last couple weeks, I would throw up before going to work, try to hold things down while at work, and then would throw up when I would get home. I would even take them at night (per suggestion from many of you!) and that did not seem to help. My doctor recommended that I try these vitamins and they have worked WONDERS!!
They don't make me sick. And they actually taste like sweet tarts candy, that is until you swallow. BUT HEY, I am not sick and have yet to throw up once! I am feeling GREAT! Thank you Flintstones for making my life a little more enjoyable.

A few of you have asked questions so I figure why not answer them??

1. Yes I will be working next year. If I can get it officially approved (still waiting to hear the final word) I will be working every other day thanks to the A/B day schedule my high school offers. One week I'll work 3 days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) and the next week I'll work 2 days (Tues, Thurs). I can still keep my insurance and my retirement years still count. My department head has been so great to work with me and has been doing what she can to help me out for next year.

2. About the gender of our baby: Jedd swears that it is a girl.....HANDS DOWN! I thought it was a girl, but then I go back and forth and am kind of leaning towards a boy at the moment. But let's be honest. I don't really have a "feeling" either way. I figure if Jedd says girl, I might as well say boy and one of us will be right.

3. I am not showing yet, well at least not to anyone else, but myself. I can tell a huge difference, but when I ask my husband, he just says "can't see a huge difference!" I can't do up my buttons on my pants, so I had to invest in a belly band to hold them up. Imagine if you will, I was using an elastic before I bought this "band" to hold my pants together. And all of a sudden I would lean over while I was teaching to pick something off the floor and oops.....the elastic would come undone. SO I would have to try very slyly to fix it. Not the greatest thing, but watching it, I'm sure, was quite the treat. Thank goodness I teach high school students that don't pay attention to anything anyway.

That about does it for answers to questions. Still crossing our fingers for May 7th to find out what we are having. I'll post updates every so often and when I actually start showing where people can tell, I'll post pictures.

The reason for my blogging hiatus......

Yep, you thought correct. Jedd and I are pregnant! I started getting horribly moody and not feeling so great in February (which is not me at all!) and so I took one of these and found out we were expecting. I am currently 12 weeks and a few days along and our due date is October 21st. We couldn't be more excited. The next question people always ask is... have you been sick? And the answer is YES! I'm sure most of you know exactly what I am talking about, but being pregnant sucks. All the puking and dry heaving (sorry for being graphic!), I don't know who in their right mind wants to do this twice. I know the end result is so worth it but at the moment in the thick of it all, I'm quite content thinking "I'll never do this again!" I've been extremely tired and food has really disgusted me. But I am starting to have more good days than bad days, so I hope that I am on the up-swing. (hopefully I am not speaking too soon!)

We have been to the doctor twice now and have had 2 ultrasounds. My doctor's office is amazing in that we get an ultrasound every visit so it has been fun to see all the changes that occurred between our visits of 4 weeks. We got to see our baby move for the first time and for the first time I think I really freaked out.....reality finally hit! But after I calmed down it was really fun to see our little one move and stretch it's legs, arms and back. Our doctor told us that if the baby cooperates, we might be able to find out what we are having the first part of May. If not we'll have to wait. SO..... everyone cross your fingers that this little one cooperates!
