So I had an appointment on Monday and guess what?  I am 10 weeks instead of nine and will be turning 11 weeks tomorrow!  The baby has progressed further than they thought by way of the ultrasound.  Which I am currently trying to post.  I scanned it and now I cant upload as a pic.  Anyway, she looks like a little gummi bear.  Yes, I said SHE!  No, I dont know yet...but I know.... 

Also, my emotions are making me crazy this past week.  I'm ready to quit my job, move away and think nothing of it.  Of course, that's not what i need to do, however, to me right now, it sounds like a great idea.  It's been challenging trying to get all of my thoughts together and have the patience for this baby to come.  I was never a patient person why start now, right?  Well as I try to update this website now to reflect my actual week...Let me you guys with this.....

Give me your hand

Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.

Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.

For me
Give me your hand.

- Maya Angelou

Not!....there isnt much I can do at this point.  However, I did get a cake and I dont feel the nausea.  Yea! 

I will be 8 weeks tomorrow and I dont feel any different yet.  My next appointment is February 11th for the ultrasound.  I cant wait!  I want the video DVD, recording of the heartbeat and everything.  Than I'll have to see if I can download it onto here.  Anyway, I am working today...so whatever plans I have for my birthday are on hold. 

Am I nine months yet?

Fluttering mind, fluttering mind,
Calm yourself down and have a rest.

Slow down the busyness of your mind,
And cool off your many distractions.

There's the calming effect of a fixed purpose,
Which slay all doubts, worries and fears.

Once you found a goal to commit to,
Your powerful mind set to work in a tenacious way.

No hesitancy, no pull back, no excuses,
Removing all obstacles that stand in the way.

Upon reaching the far-fetched goal,
You wonder at the marvel of it all.

A great power seems to be at work,
Guiding you along the line of fulfilling your aim.

The power of a committed purpose,
All lie within your powerful mind.

Ok, so I'm tired of being nauseous already, and I'm sure people are tired of me talking about it.   It's been 2 weeks since I've known and I'm telling you the symptoms kicked in as soon as I found out.

I also don't have a grip on reality just yet ( I'm not sure if I ever did) but what I did have, it's all gone now.  Juanita T. Jones is going to be a Mommy....everyone say it with me....right, I can't say again myself.

However, I am excited and looking forward to a long and prosperous preparation.  Kevin is very excited,  now that we got all of the initial reactions out of the way. He was the one that got the names going already...we'll come back to those..
