We've been talking about going out of town for a weekend - just the two of us - for about a year now. We have never left our kids overnight before. So it is T-I-M-E. Especially before baby #3 comes along!
Well... it's booked! YIPPEEEE!!!!
Right after our anniversary in early November, we're going to a new bed & breakfast that's about 15 minutes away from downtown Branson, MO. It's a GORGEOUS place that's on 20 acres of wooded hillsides. And get this: we'll be staying in their nicest suite - the BRIDAL SUITE!
Guess we don't have to worry about getting me pregnant that weekend, do we??? LOL!!
At any rate, I am SO ready for this. I can't wait to have quiet one-on-one time with Tim. I miss the times when we could go out for a leisurely evening (without planning it out 2 weeks ahead of time, so we have a sitter, etc, etc). We're gonna sleep LATE and be as lazy as we possibly can be! This is SO my idea of a good time!!!!

Sickness, sickness, GO AWAY!!!!
And don't ever ever come back!!!!
I had a cold a few weeks ago. Then a few days after that went away I developed acute bronchitis which is STILL not all the way gone. I now have pleurisy (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the lungs) which makes me feel like someone has a vice-grip on my chest.
NOW I feel like the mucus is building up again, to where it was when I got the bronchitis in the first place! (sorry, gross, I know) GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just had to get that off my chest. If I weren't pregnant I would just load up on all the drugs available. But since I am pregnant, I'm just being choosy about what I put in my body. I took a z-pack for the infection (in case it was bacterial) and I've been taking Mucinex DM to control the cough a little bit. Other than that, I've got nothin'.
It's beginning to get me down. I just want to feel healthy again. Even though I've been assured that the baby is fine, it still freaks me out to be this sick for this long while pregnant. I feel like if I'm suffering then my poor darling child must also be suffering somehow.
OK.... pity party over for now... but I reserve the right to pick up where I left off later on! ;-)

My prediction....
...OK, for some reason I have decided this baby is a BOY. I don't know why; I just do.
Granted, I was dead wrong with Evan and Ally. I swore Evan was a girl and I swore just as much that Ally was a boy. But maybe my prediction skills have improved since then, right??? LOL
If it's a boy, it'll be wonderful because then Ally will be the lone princess in the house - and she LOVES being the princess... believe me. ;-) And another boy would be SO much fun for Evan. He's continually told me that he's having a baby brother. hee! hee!
If it's a girl, it'll be wonderful because then Ally will have another girl to play with that's sort of close to her age. And I'll get use out of all of Ally's darling hand-me-down's.
*SIGH* Let the countdown continue. We now have 3 weeks & 4 days until we find out which way the balance of power will shift in the household. WHO WILL WIN? BOYS? OR GIRLS? (cue tense music) LOL!!

OK, maybe I'm a little bit of a liar (LOL)
...I said I don't care what this baby is. But I *DO* care!!! I just want to KNOW, one way or the other! As people who know me realize, I am truly the most impatient human being on Planet Earth. I need to know NOW! I want to start planning the nursery... I adore decorating my kids' rooms!
So this is a short post, because the oven's beeping, so I gotta run!

NT Scan today
I had a nuchal scan done at the hospital this afternoon, to check for the likelihood of certain chromosomal anomalies. Luckily, at least from what they could see, everything looks perfect! They'll call me in a week with blood test results, letting me know my chances of having a baby with Down's.
I don't care how many times I've done this: babies are a MIRACLE. Just a miracle. I was transfixed while watching our newest miracle on the screen. What a magnificent gift from God. I feel SO incredibly blessed, I can't even find the words to express it.
The specialist at the hospital said that he'd like to see me again at 18 weeks. He said he'll do more measurements at that point, and also let us know the gender of the baby!! So.... on October 16, we'll know which color to paint the baby's room! Yippeee!!!
The ultrasound tech said it looked a little like it MIGHT possibly be a girl. But there is certainly no definitive answer at only 12 weeks.
I've already got the blessing of each gender. So, boy OR girl: I don't care. I want a healthy, happy baby to love.
