Working...

Here is a suprisingly somewhat flattering side view of me. I was caught in action in court telling a client something. Notice I am also pointing my pen/finger at the client. I have a bad habit of doing that.

The big 3-0

I turned the big 3-0 this past Sunday, Dec. 6, and Mama came to visit for the birthday and the ultrasound (and then they wouldn't let her go back), and what I wanted to do for my birthday was go to Nashville to Gaylord Opryland Hotel to see A Country Christmas and then to the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular. So above are a few pics from said trip. We had a very nice time, and decided to shop a little when we got there so we missed the early show, and I thought, oh well we will catch the 7 PM and still be home by 11 PM (this granny has to get her shuteye in as much as possible before baby arrives). Well, the Rockettes show was really good, but about 30 minutes in, they had "technical difficulties" and put the damn show on hold for over an hour with NOTHING to do but sit there. Finally the show resumed, and we got home at 12:30. Needless to say, we were all quite tired the next morning. However, I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday with the hubs and mumsey.

I'm trying to figure out....

how to post a picture, then words below, then another picture, etc. I see where yall do it, but I can't figure it out. Sometimes I'm good with computers, other times, not so much.

It's a BOY!

It's a BOY, as the first picture depicts. We have pretty much decided on the name "Cash", but we haven't come up with a middle name yet. I had to go to a perinatologist for this ultrasound just as a precaution since my brother has Prader-Willi Syndrome, but we got good news that my chances of having a special needs child are no higher than the average woman, so I don't have to go back to see that doctor. He said Cash looks good and healthy and he weighs a whopping 5 ounces. He's growing like weeds because so is my big ole belly!

First look at Baby Collins

Had my ultrasound today....Baby Collins had a good strong heartbeat, and there's just one baby in there! The lady doing the ultrasound did see cyst on my right ovary and she said at first she thought it was a twin. I'm not sure if I'd rather it be a twin or a cyst. Here's the first glimpse at baby we got:

First Doctor Visit

After waiting what seemed like forever (both since I found out I was pregnant and today at the doctor's office), I finally had my first pregnancy doctor visit today. Poor Clint forgot about it and wasn't able to go, and I started to get a little nervous about it and my awesome friend, Caroline, offered to go with me, and how grateful I am! I really hate that she had to sit there with me for three hours, only to just chat with the doctor and not get to hear the heartbeat. Dr. Boxell tried, but she said it was too soon (and I also think it was because of the extra layers of fatness on my belly). So, I go for an ultrasound on October 27, which Clint better not forget about, and then for my next doctor visit November 17. Thanks again to Caroline for going with me. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!

As you may already know....

I'm not real sure who all reads this except for maybe Sarah and Caroline (guess I need to send another email), and you two already know, but Clint and I found out yesterday that I am PREGNANT!! I'm estimating that I'm about 5 weeks along but I can't get in to see the doc until October 14. That puts me due in May.
