Well, I had hoped to catch up by now, but I was sidelined by some major SI joint/ sciatic nerve problems end of November that I was flat on my back in the worst pain of my life (other than when it happened in the summer) for over a week and then slowly healing from then on. After I started getting better, my family got sick the week before Christmas, we had a break for Christmas, and then we all got sick the first few weeks of January. I just barely recovered this last Sunday. It was a nasty virus which I'm hoping was "the flu" that is taking the US by storm right now. I hope it was the flu so that we don't get it later. I'm done with the sicknesses for a good while.
I still want to catch up but I am a little OCD when it comes to "getting out of order", however I never get to do current posts if I'm always catching up. I may be back dating a bunch of catch up posts as we go.
Just as a fast update, we had our ultrasound on December 20th, right before Christmas. I had my ultrasound at 9:30 and Kira had hers at 10. Verdict: we are having a girl and they are having a boy! I had hoped we would have a boy too and that we would have the same genders since that has been the trend so far, but oh well. I was a little disappointed for a few days- happy to have a girl still but disappointed to not have another boy. I know I could always try for another boy, but we think this is the last baby. Besides, I could end up with 10 girls before I have another boy. :) I am still excited for a girl and I know she belongs in our family. I also knew the chances were very high for a girl since I didn't have hardly any morning sickness. Since Devin and Kira don't have any baby boy things, I packed up my 7 boxes of boy clothes 0-3T and sent them off. I still have to get to the 4T-6T. :) It was actually an emotional thing for me. I went through all those cute boy clothes that were in top condition, had been brand new and given to me at baby showers. I then pulled out my very used girl clothes and put them in the dresser for the baby. They have been through 3 plus babies and I'm just not attached to them. Maybe it was the fact that Brigg was my first baby. I don't know. I have come around since that time though. I allowed myself to grieve a bit for lost hopes. I never cried or anything, but it was still emotional. Koby then asked if maybe there was another baby. He wants to be done but of course he had to say something like that. I'm not even going there. As a side note, the girls were excited for a girl, Brigg was bummed. I am also looking forward to a female "caboose" who will hopefully want to hang out with her mom, go shopping, do girly things, have late night talks, etc. I could be dreaming, but I have a better chance of that with a girl than a boy. :)
I will update other events with posts and pictures. My camera broke Christmas Eve so all my pictures are from my inadequate phone. I'm hoping to get a camera for my birthday. It is a NEED now, especially with a baby coming this spring. I hate spending money for another camera but it has to be done. A girl has to have a camera.
