It’s been 5 weeks since our last doctor’s appointment and I am very anxious to get a checkup. When I first learned we had to schedule appointments once a month I thought it was going to be overwhelming. Now I realize just how many questions can compile over 4 weeks (along with some anxiety) and now I look forward to our visits.
An extra bonus tomorrow is our 20 week sonogram. We are 21 weeks now but the office was closed most of last week for Thanksgiving. We haven’t “seen” our little guy/girl in over 2 months so I am REALLY looking forward to seeing a big change in her/his appearance. I am a little nervous and hopeful for healthy report but I am not going to worry until there is something to worry about.
Adam and I are STILL going back and forth on the decision to find out the sex. I was the one who originally pushed waiting until the big delivery but now I am dying to know! I’m not really sure why – I don’t feel the need to paint the room pink/blue or even buy a bunch of girly/boyish things…guess it’s just pure curiosity. At the moment I am leaning towards finding out but ask me in the morning and I might be singing a different tune.
Last night I had a dream it was a boy for the first time! All my other dreams have featured cute little girls. After my middle of the night bathroom trip I had another dream that Dr. Wolfgram wouldn’t let us get a sonogram saying we didn’t need one and this was just a regular visit – I was very upset. Haha.
Note about Thanksgiving – Adam and I had a wonderful time at Nick and Cindy’s this year. Adrienne came over to our place in the morning and we cooked for about 4 hours. We made most of the sides and Cindy and her mom knocked out the turkey (all 25 pounds of it) the stuffing and some other yummy starters. It was a good division of labor, nobody felt too overworked.
At the table were two very special guests – Will and Phil Putnam. What a treat it was sharing the holidays with them. They jumped right in and played with the girls, talked with the ladies while we finished cooking, indulged Nick by riding in his fancy car, and even joined us in a Wii dance competition after dinner. The night ended by Karen and Frank coming by to share some dessert and catch up with everyone. Adam and I were home by 8:30 p.m. and passed out (editor’s note: this is no different than any other night).
Saturday morning Nick planned an impromptu trip to Hershey Park where we stayed the night. They treated everyone as they did last year to thank us for helping them throughout the year. We all assured them that the kisses and hugs from the girls is adequate payment but they enjoy doing this – thank you again! We arrived at noon and went to a fancy “Lunch with Santa” party. In the evening we had dinner and ice skated – what fun! We had breakfast the next morning, left at 11:00 a.m. and were home by 1:00 p.m. – a perfect little getaway.
Happy holidays!
