Dream a Little Dream

Today I made the appointment for the 3D and 4D pictures. The receptionist seemed very nice on the phone and gave me specific instructions. I need to make sure that I'm completely hydrated for at least 3 days before the pictures are taken and on the way make sure to eat something with a lot of sugar in it to get the baby going. ( I have no problem eating sweets)

For months and months I have caught myself daydreaming about what the little girl inside me looks like. Not that it would matter, a mom's love has no prejudice.(dad's love too) However, there isn't a pregnant woman in the world that hasn't dreamed about the color of their unborn child's eyes, or color of their hair, or how much hair. Does she have 10 fingers and 10 toes and will they be long and skinny like dad's or short and fat like mom's? It really does get the imagination going and it's pretty fun to think about. I have created a little being inside of me that might look just like me...crazy, huh? Or,it could be the other way around. I have helped to create a little baby that looks just like her dad, or even a huge mix of the both of us. I have three names picked out but I will not decide until I see her face to face. What if when she's born she doesn't look like the name I picked?

I think that the craziest thing that I have thought about is the Dr. changing his mind and saying,"oops...my mistake,it's really a boy!". I have to say he would have some pretty ladybugs all over his room! No Dr. will ever tell you they are 100% sure what the gender is of the baby, especially, if it's a girl. Can you imagine, if after all these months I went in for a sonogram and they ended up telling me IT'S A BOY and not a girl. How embarrassing would that be? I would have to try to explain to everyone that his package was just so small the first few months they couldn't see it in the pictures.(very funny to think about) Let's hope that's not the case.

Anyway, I could have made the appointment for this week but I decided to wait until next Thursday. I made it for later so I can be in the 3rd trimester for these pictures. The suspense is already killing me but I can wait for a few more days.
Oh, I just realized that the pictures will be taken on Lauren's birthday so she'll get a kick out of that, I think I'll ask if she wants to come with me to see the live version. I'm sure she won't mind missing a little bit of school!

Finally, I would like to say that I'm very disappointed that I will not be able to attend our family reunion. I feel awful about it but that's the price you pay when you have your own business. I can't leave Dad by himself to work the day and night shifts. He works 7 days a week already and I don't think it would be fair to leave him behind. Also, I think it would be an absolute beating to be in the car for 8 hours. We would have to stop AT LEAST once an hour for bathroom breaks and not to mention food :) Being pregnant can be a total pain in the butt but you're right Ana, it is worth it in the end! I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel!
