What do you do when someone is looking at you…
I went in for my date determining ultrasound yesterday. It was thrilling to say the least. I was shocked that a little baby was growing inside of me and I was also shocked that I was 12 weeks prego already! The ultra sound tech was so nice and the sweetest woman ever! She let me watch as she was doing all the measuring on the baby.
As we were looking at the baby, it began to play peek-a-boo with us. It would put it’s hands over it’s eyes then remove them over and over. After that the baby did a dance for us, wiggling and squirming about. Then it stopped and waved at us. It was so cool! The tech was able to replay it a couple times for me. It was amazing and so much fun to watch.
It made me so excited to have another baby. I told the kids today and they were thrilled. Josh wants it to be a boy. He wants us to name it Shadrach after his friend. Laura wants it to be a girl and name it Elizabeth. The kids are thrilled and I am too. I feel complete now. I feel that our little family is done.
Over the past few months when everyone was seated at the supper table I’ve been feeling like someone was missing even though everyone was there. This little baby was the missing piece. I’ve always wanted 5 kids and since I also dream about my kids before they come I knew this one still had to be in our family. 5 is a lot. It’s busy, but I’m looking forward to being there.
I’m starting to get into the nesting mode. I wish I could harness this drug/feeling so I could take it after I’m done being prego. I’m cleaning like crazy, dejunking and decluttering. I’m tossing stuff in the garbage or giving it away to the Salvation Army. It feels so good to get rid of stuff I don’t need.
