1.  i will provide an unlimited amount of space once the baby is born for stretching out, and
2.  i won't swaddle you up if you are indeed a sprawler, if
3.  you agree to stop trying to perform a uterus expansion project without having taken out all the necessary permits.

me on the other hand.  i have NO CLUE.  none.  i don't know if there is a boy in there or a girl.  i am not having dreams about holding my sweet baby ____.  on the one hand, i could be having a boy because there aren't any girls born in t's family.  on the other hand, i could be having a girl because god is funny and has a sense of humor and knows this would smite me for oh so much. 

so in the mean time, this is driving me bonkers.  i won't find out until december and there is a chance we won't find out.  i want to know.  i need to know.  this is probably one of the things that is driving me nuts.  terribly.  i am not stressed about the birth or the after.... i am calm about that.  nope.  i need to know what IT is... any guesses? i'm sure someone will be right.

weird.  normal movements have become a big ow!  a normal twist or pulling with my stomach muscles now creates this insane yank or pull of my muscles that hurts.  now, i know this is normal and to be expected, but no one tells you how often you'll do this to yourself in the course of the day as your body stretches to make room for baby.

or maybe i just never realized how often i move around and reposition myself while sitting.  still, very weird.

about a month ago we had our first ultrasound.  and in one month we find out what the dumpling is... boy or girl.  as well as if there has been an evil twin lurking and hiding behind his/her sibling.

we told my parents over drinks later that night.  thomas ordered a bottle of champagne and it was served to the three of them (ginger ale for me since i have been nauseated a wee bit).  mom squeeled and my father got tears in his eyes.  it was very sweet.

thomas told his family the next day when he called them.  this required a phone call to germany and now we are planning a christmas trip there to be with them before the baby comes.

needless to say, we are very excited as is the family.  tuesday, i have my first ob appointment.  so hopefully all goes well with that.  i want  a natural childbirth and i don't want a pessimist ob (and since it is what i want, barring emergencies/complications, it is what i will have).  i think it should go ok though.  we just have to make it until mid october before letting the world know, apart from our closest friends. 

dumpling is on the way.

and no, you will not see a photo of the pregnancy test that i peed on to get the results.  that is just improper.

i have been feeling nauseated off an on.  and certain foods taste REALLY good to me.  although i don't have any cravings at all.  i am also exhausted for no apparent reason.  could it be the body snatcher growing in me?  :)

overall, though, we are very excited about the baby and can't wait.
