The day before my parents arrived we had our first ultrasound and our doctor said that "It's a girl!" Needless to say, we are very excited about having a little princess join our family. The doctor said not to run out and buy a bunch of pink, but we couldn't help it, we just had to go get some cute pink dresses. This pregnancy has not been a fun one to say the least. I've had terrible bachaches, normal fatigue, and AWFUL nausea/vomiting. I've been taking the super medicine Zofran but as of this week, my doctor won't let me take it anymore. Even with the pills, I would still throw up almost every morning and evening , especially if my stomach was empty, if I went from sitting by the warm fireplace to the cold upstairs, or if I smelled anything strange. It wasn't too bad when I had the week off while my parents were here, but when I started back to work it came back with a vengence. I've thrown up on the side of the road, in patient's yards, it's very disgusting. Although Adam claims that I am his alarm clock because he always knows when it's morning from the lovely sounds (and smells I'd bet) emanating from the bathroom , he has been very patient through this ordeal. Adam has taken over extra diapering duty, all the driving duties, extra clean up, all care of the cheap cheaps, and he has even slept without a cuddle buddy so that I can get a good nights rest on the guest bed. What can I say, I know how to pick em. Adam is a GREAT Husband and Father. I am extremely grateful and I wish that this nausea would go away quickly so I can feel like my old self again.
We found out last week that my cousin in laws Jessica and Shanna are also going to have girls in May! We had our boys right around the same time as Charlie and now we are all having girls. Hurray! We are going to beat the Bradbury curse. In some ways, I wish we were still living in Utah so we could share this experience with them. We may try and go out to Utah after the baby is born as part of my maternity leave which would be very fun.
