we got a penis!

ok, i was mistaken in thinking that yesterday was the longest day of my life... it was most definitely today.

i was told not to pee for an hour before my appointment... i was finally taken back into an exam room where the tech allowed me to urinate before doing anything. i think it was fun for them to torture the pregnant woman by telling her to hold it for over an hour...

after two hours of rolling from side to side in a futile effort to get the baby to change his position, we found out that we have a little man in there! the doctor said everything looked ok, but apparently my son is already very stubborn and absolutely refused to let anyone get a clear shot of his heart, so we will most likely have to go back soon for them to make sure everything is good to go...

so next we went to buy buy baby in springfield to start our first registry! woohoo! we spent no less than two and a half hours there... i had no idea that babies required so much stuff! we were scanning and scanning and 10 pages later we finally decided that we were done for the day. we didnt even register for any bottles, sleep positioners, a stroller, or furniture... i dont even know what we did register for!

i am exhausted.

dorkdom at its finest.

so ive realized that since becoming pregnant, i have turned into a total dork.

• i rarely see friends anymore because if i leave a bar smelling like smoke, i instantly think of what a terrible mother i am and the baby isnt even here yet.
  
• i analyze everything i eat. i did not think i was going to be one of those women that reads every little thing and freaks out... but apparently i am one of those women.
• i truly and honestly got excited about a diaper bag. i really did... i almost got teary about it.

i am sure there are many other facts that would support my discovery but now i feel bad about myself so im done with that.

ok, new topic! we go in on tuesday for the BIG ultrasound and i cant wait... (ugh, dork fact #357) i know i should be much happier about the fact that with this ultrasound they will check out all the organs and make sure everything is developing properly with the baby, but i am honestly and selfishly more excited to find out if there is a penis or not! because really, the penis, or lack thereof dictates everything! we will finally be able to cut our name list in half, we can start registering for anything we might need, and we can totally focus on the nursery (#521) which is really what matters...
