Wk 19

Week 19 and we're finally feeling better!  We've both been illin'.  Upper respiratory type of thing...  Chemtrails?  Just kidding.  kind of...  There have been more trails all over the sky again.  Several on Friday, per usual.  Anyway, I've been pushing out the virus and other stuff with various remedies.  Your dad read that you were hiccuping in my belly, so was listening for you and hiccuping back.  haha.  We got plane tickets, thanks to your grandpa C, for us to come see them in May, so I'm very excited about that.  Like I said, I've been missing CA.  It will be a nice trip since we probably wont see them again until around when you're born! 

 

"Hi! My Name is... Slim Shady."

Today is a very happy day for us.  I've been feeling so crummy (sick) and worried and anxious, and your dad hasnt been able to truly feel happy until he had more info. on you...  Today was the day.  And, it, also, happens to be your little cousin in AZ's birthday, so that's kind of special.  You dad has a broken family, just like I do.  We grew up only children, but both have multiple siblings.  Your dad has three sisters and a brother, two of the sisters have children.  You will be the third baby cousin born.  Three.  Again, three.  Its my favorite number.  You were our third, and now, you're the third baby cousin in the family.  I called your father, first, to give him the news.  Then, my father, then my mother (no answer), and then your fathers parents.  My dad has been so excited the whole way through, calling me at random and nearly coming to tears with excitement every time, so it was so fun to talk to him.  We've developed such a close relationship, through the years, so I'm very excited to have him as your grandfather.  Grandma O was as talkative as ever and we had a full conversation before I was able to break her the news.  haha.  She's chatty in the BEST way possible, so, sometimes its hard to get out your idea to her because she's so busy asking how everything else in our life is.  She has a very speedy mind that is FULL of caring curiosity, but once I finally said, "by the way, its a boy," she screamed in excitement!  They are going to spoil the hell out of you...  They do it to us, so once you come along...  LOOK OUT.  haha.  And I dont mean monetary spoils, but just caring bout you to the hilt.  They like to live a connected and joyful life.  She texts me constantly about whats going on in life.  She's someone that cares deeply.  Now, we're just waiting for grandma O to call back...   =)

All of our genetics tests were clear, you're healthy, and you have ELATED parents.  I've been tearing up all day since I found out the news.  

Now, what will we call you........

 

Update:  grandma O called and is ecstatic!  Speaking of love, she is full of love, emotion, and beautiful life.  My mother.  She would sacrifice her life if it meant something better for you.  She's just like my grandmother was, in the heart deparment.  A very sad RIP.  She's one that I wanted you to get to know.  But, life rolls how it does.  The two main women in our family didnt have a lot of material things - and never wanted the excess - but, I've truly never seen more heart given than with those two.  There is so much to be said for loving mothers.  Gangsters of the world.

Wk 18

I'm a little behind, but we're in wk 18.  I've been illin' with a slight cold, thought I was getting better, but then acquired a cough out of nowhere.   *sigh*  I dont get sick, so I'm having a hard time coping.  Its been weeks now.  I have gotten a cough in the past and it lingers...  Drives me crazy.  I have no idea how a virus can live in my body when I drink squeezed lemons, garlic, ginger, and cayenne like a crazy person.  What virus WANTS to live in that?  Unless its a Super Virus because of all of the toxins in our world, and good 'ol natural remedies are too mild.  Its like you cant win in the world these days.  There is so much garbage in food and the air that we've become resistant to anything natural and NEED the toxic meds.  Its frustrating.  But, I dont care.  I wont sacrifice my values and what I feel is right by giving in.  You're too important to me.  Should things get worse, I'll do what I have to do to protect you, but in the meantime, natural remedies and good foods it is!  =)  My nurses say my symptoms are mild enough not to worry right now - just ride it out.  So, ride the lighting, we will!  xo

TWINS!

* * * * * * * TWINS! * * * * * * *

this just in!  just kidding.  april fools!  ;)  i think i would pass out.  there's is just one in there.  =)  its funny though, when i went for the ultra sound, she said, "okay, there we go...  we have just one..."  and it hit me - WHOA.  the thought of having multiples hadnt crossed my mind ONCE.  so, when she mentioned it, i was thinking, "oh, yeah, right, just one.  good.  GREAT.  HOLY MOLY!  FANTASTIC."  not that there is anything wrong with twins or more, but, um, no.  the work!  two children physically dependent on YOUR body to survive...  i'm tired just thinking about it.  i was raised an only child.  your dad was raised an only child.  YOU may be the only child.  as much of a loving social butterfly that i am, i dont like too much chaos around me that a big family would produce.  i love watching big families interact.  i love their bond.  but, i like simplicity.  for me, it keeps order.  and peace.  i can admire, from afar.

i think that i may have felt you for the first time, yesterday morning.  i flipped over and felt a little flutter in my tummy!  it sort of scared me, so i sat up and straightened out some since i ALWAYS worry about squishing you.  i find myself sitting up straight, not bending too far, pulling my waistband up or down further...  you've definitely helped my posture.  thanks, kid!  you're doin' me good already!  ;)
