"Jess!

Love! I just heard that you are having a baby??? I just had to say congratulations, that is absolutely AMAZING news- I can't think of anyone who would be a better Mommy than you.

I hope you are doing well!
If you get a chance write me back!

XOXO

Correspondence with Jen.

Jen-- "You were in my dream again last night, only for a second, your belly was big and I put my hand on it and in my dream I was told it is a boy. So, We will see how that pans out. I hope that your pregnancy is going well and that your birthday on Friday goes according to plan. A downside though, You're turning 21 and can't have your first legal drink on your birthday! Take care. <3"

Jess-- "Hahha, a boy huh? Maybe your dream is a sign? Angelo and his family are all hoping for a girl... but, I don't have a preference in the slightest! I just want time to pass quicker so I can finally have my little midget partner in crime! Hahha. We were supposed to find out on Monday, but it's been put off again until April 3rd when I'm at my 20th week. Eh... doctors."

Oh, the joys of OBGYN's...

I've been poked and probed in places no man has before traveled and I've since forgotten existed! Our baby is the least of my worries, hahha, it's surviving the next appointment! Otherwise, still a little sick, ALWAYS dizzy, always in the bathroom, you know, all that good fun stuff. I can't wait for our little one to get here already! And this is only the beginning...

Lately I've been looking mighty plumpish and I've hit a whopping 105lbs (might I mention that I'm short and previously "curve-less") so that's quite a load on my tiny little boy-like frame. Woman curves weigh a bundle, but I make up for it in my watermelon-like tummy...)

I get my first ultrasound in 4 weeks and we may just find out if we're having a little boy or a little girl! Major excitement to come!

The light at the end of the trimester...

Little peanut has kept me in bed for the last few weeks!! I can honestly say I am so sick of being sick all the time. Constant Gravatron-ic feeling in my head at all times. It's nuts. Otherwise, I have my first "official" OBGYN appointment on February 5th, with a doctor that everyone seems to love. BUT, he's relatively young, so I'm paranoid about his level of experience... though I'm giving the benefit of the doubt anyway. We'll see!! I'm almost at my tenth week and shortly after I'll be in my second trimester!! Fatty me, here I come! I think right now I'm at the point where I don't really look "pregnant", I just look like I ate a few too many sausages in one setting. It's pretty gross. And the gas sucks, too, TMI I know!! Hahha.
