3 days until.....

Dates and numbers:
There are 143 days until your due date on November 03, 2011.
You are 137 days pregnant.
You are 4.5 months pregnant.
You are in your 5th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: January 27, 2011 to April 27, 2011. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: April 28, 2011 to August 10, 2011. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: August 11, 2011 to November 03, 2011. (28 - 40 weeks)

In 3 days, we find out who this little one is. We're both hoping for a little boy. I've wanted to have a son since I learned "where babies come from".

I started a game event on Facebook, it was originally supposed to be done at my baby shower, but I won't be able to keep Baby's gender a secret. So, I made it possible for friends and family to guess what Baby will be.

On top of all that, we're moving. Supposed to happen next weekend, but I'm really not sure if that's going to happen. But Ross and I will have our own space. Corona won't be with us, due to her schooling, but Skyler will be there. She'll have her own room. I'm not sure I like that. I was pretty set on it being hers and Corona's room. Baby is going to be in my room with me for a while, until about 6 months, as long as Baby doesn't have sleep apnea like Ross. I've started doing *some* research on Sleep Apnea, more specifically cases in newborns. It's scary.

With this move coming up, I'm not sure at all when my baby shower will be. I know I wanted to plan it for as soon as I found out Baby's gender, but that just won't work. I don't know if we will have the gas to travel so soon after moving and shopping.

The shopping part I'm dreading. I am already having the same Florescent Light issues I had when I was pregnant with Skyler. Too much exposure makes me feel sick and dizzy. And if I ignore THOSE signs, then I get migraines, which usually knock me off my feet for a few days. Not good at all, especially when pregnant/ home alone with the kids.

I'll continue more later, I have to get the kitchen cleaned, and get some rest.

I've been feeling more movements lately, which has taken a LOT off my mind. I'm still finding myself in denial about being pregnant again, especially when my mother makes a pregnancy comment, or simply says that I'm pregnant. I often catch myself about to say "No, I'm not! There's no way!!" When in fact, this baby is about halfway ready to make his/her presence known.

I have an ultrasound on the 15th. A BIG ultrasound. We're going to try to find out if this baby is a boy or a girl, and make sure there's no defects/anomalies. I'm sure Baby's fine, I'm just excited to know the gender! I may finally have managed to carry my son past 13 weeks! My little boy might be on his way! Even Ross wants a boy. We haven't decided on ANY names yet, I think I'm going to wind up naming this baby myself.

Baby has been felt moving for a while now, but June 2nd, I felt, with my hand, Baby kicked me in the stomach. It wasn't very hard, but it was definitely Baby. I was laying on the couch, not really on my back, not really on my right side, but laid back into the corner of the couch, and baby kicked the left side of my stomach where my hand had been resting. :)

There's also a post on my Facebook from May 17th, about the baby kicking me in the lowest ribs, and another post from May 16th, that says So, today is 5-16, a month ago today is when I felt the little one move for the first time. :) Still kicking as of today, getting stronger every time." So, the first time I had felt Baby move was APRIL 16th, and I was 11weeks 1day, not unusual, Skyler moved for the first time about then too, with doctor confirmation that what I had been feeling was in fact, the baby moving :)

The meaning of a rainbow

Rainbow...
It is understood that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of any storm. When a rainbow appears, it does not mean that the storm never happened or that we are not still dealing with its aftermath. It means that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover, but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.
