A Million Years!

It feels like it has been a million years since I posted! I've been avoiding my blog because I was afraid of accidentally posting the sex and ruining the surprise for some of our family! We have that barbeque on the 29th and we are really looking forward to sharing that moment in person with family. Its been a long wait, but we only have 12 days to go! How exciting!


Anyway, we had our big anatomy scan done May 4th and baby is looking good! The heartbeat was around 147 (if I remember correctly) and yes, there is totally a baby in there! Heck, here is a picture of it looking up at us (it is really weird to think that that face is inside of me!):

We had a little scare at the ultra-sound when after the goop was off my belly and my bladder was empty (oh the joy!) the tech came back in for more pictures. The pictures were of the spine and the brain and all's I could think of were all those days I spent barfing my brains out and I didn't get any vitamins whatsoever. Alas, the doctor says everything looks normal (or at least nothing we needed to be notified of immediately). 

I started a new job and I am hating it! Cashiering at WalMart sucks. I would actually like it a lot if it weren't for my sore feet, ankles, and back at the end of the night. I like interacting with people, I just get super sore. I had a little "passing out" incident the other day at work, but it wasn't a big deal once I got home, superhydrated myself, and put my feet up. I have an 8 hr shift today and then two glorious days off! Then another 6 days in a row.  Agh!
One last thing. New biggest pregnancy craving: lemonade! In particular McDonald's frozen lemonade with no syrup and Simply Lemonade with Raspberry! YUM! 

Love, the Christians, Jess, Cricket, Courage, and the baby in my uterus (I forget what fruit it is this week/month)

It's a boy!

Well, at least my chicken nugget makes me think its a boy. I mean come on... a chicken nugget with a penis is a pretty clear cut sign 35 hours away from your anatomy scan, right?
