i have a terrible headache.
and a nasty, stuffy nose.
with a nasty, phlegmy cough.
i don't think 'phlegmy' is a word, but it is now.
my temp is stable at 100, so hopefully it'll stay that way.
i learned in A&P that fevers are good cause it means your body's fighting off pathogens &/or infection(s).
morning sickness still hasn't gone away.
back pain is starting to get a little uncomfortable.
it's not fun.
but you know what is?

the cards going to the world series.



and knowing i'm having a BABY GIRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
yaaaayyyy!!!

she has the most adorable little arms and legs and fingers and toes.
and she's a thumb sucker!
it looks like she's gonna have her daddy's nose and my lips.
she's a little hooch, too.
for most of the sonogram she just chilled with her little thumb in her mouth and legs spread wide open for the camera.
just like her mommy.
i was crying the whole time, but then i saw her little hoohoo and i yelled "J! LOOK! IT'S A GINEY!!!!"
and he cried and said "oh my god, i'm having a little girl?!"
it was so cute.
i almost peed on the table from the excitement.
and the whole sonogram was recorded on a dvd so i get to watch it over and over and over and eventually add it to the baby scrapbook.

the ob/gyn said everything was fine and she's healthy and has a strong heartbeat, but kinda small so i have to "gain a little more weight", as if gaining 7 pounds in three weeks wasn't traumatic enough.
and i had to give more blood for another prenatal test.
maternal serum alpha fetoprotein(?) test, i think.
it's supposed to be safer than doing an amniocentesis to rule out any chromosomal abnormalities, spina bifida, etc.
somebody google it.

we should get the results back in about 2 weeks so cross your fingers for me, please with cheese. :)

so, when did target become so awesome?
i would've never thought to go that store for baby stuff until my mom told me.
and i'm pretty sure i came a little the moment i stepped into the baby section.
there's so much shit to buy.
bassinets, cribs, bedding, changing tables, drawers, hampers, diaper genies, strollers, car seats.
it's insane.
babies are high maintenance little people.
we didn't buy the major stuff though cause i haven't decided on the nursery colors yet.
i'm thinking of going with pale pink and pale yellow [girly, but not too girly] or pink and black [cause i like pink and black together].

i did get a fetal heart monitor and a body pillow which i'm loving already.
the pillow is gonna be my cuddle buddy this weekend since J's abandoning me and our baby girl for football.

i'll be fine during the day cause i have plans with a couple of friends, i just hate sleeping alone at night.
i'm probably just gonna throw a tantrum and guilt him into staying home with me.
i'm nice like that.

*****

have a nice weekend, kids.
don't drink and drive.
say 'no' to expensive drugs.
use a condom when sleeping with $2 whores.

yeah, that's all i got.
toodles!
