hello everyone

this is one picture from yesterday's test

which according to the ultrasound technician

went great :)

first of all - i think shrimpy has my nose ;)

second of all - we found out the gender!

third of all - we're ecstatic and anxious and excited to meet shrimpy already!!

but now

i'm allowing myself some *complaining time*

(which has no affect on how much i already love shrimpy.

but i'm pregnant. i'm allowed!)

here we go:

* 90% of my skirts and pants \ jeans don't fit me anymore

* i got my second chin back (or at least half of it, and counting)

* my breasts are so heavy i should probably start sleeping while wearing a bra

* the nausea went away and the constant hunger replaced it

* i'm still soooo tired

* the second semester of school just started. have i mentioned how tired i am?

* i will have to put off growing my hair out. it's going to fall in the 1000s after i deliver anyway

* everyone and their mother has got "helpful" advice for me once they hear i'm pregnant

* but i'm not showing enough for people to get up for me in busses

* my ability to concentrate has gone down by at least 50%

* have i mentioned i just began my second semester and i need to be able to concentrate?

* small bladder + growing uterus = constant bathroom runs

* waking up at night to go to the bathroom > not being able to sleep for hours after, because of...

* nervousness regarding the shrimpy's arrival, bad dreams, stress

* my mom, telling me "soon enough -you'll have one, too!" when there's an extra whiny baby\kid around

* achy back. yeah, already!

* not being able to *actually* dye my hair (doctor's orders) - hence the un-ignorable dark roots

well, enough complaining for now.

i'm sure i'll do this again soon ;)
and regardless - i wouldn't have it any other way!!!
