Kenny and I went to my doctor tonight because I was having bad cramps for the past 2 days - so my doctor wanted me to have a sonogram to make sure everything is okay (everything is fine - it's just all the ligaments stretching, pulling and the baby growing). So we had the sonogram, we were her last patients so she had extra time to show us things, and I said, "can you see the sex?" .. and she said by what she saw she could .. she showed us in between it's legs and there was no penis there!!!!!!! Just the anatomy of a girl!!! It still is kind of early to tell .. some women do find out at 14 weeks (the sex organs are visible by 12 weeks) .. but that if it was a boy, we would see SOMETHING... and there was NOTHING... so she said she thinks it's a girl.. Kenny and I think it's a girl from what we saw too. She prodded around for about 15 - 20 mins, looked at different angles, and it kept showing that it's a girl!!!
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy .. of course I would be happy with either, but I have always wanted a little girl :)
She's going to be Mommy's princess and Daddy's little girl .. I am SOOOO SO SO SO SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
We can't wait until our little Brianna comes into the world :)

KENNY..
.. is seriously the BEST person in the entire world. I can't say it enough. I'm the luckiest girl on the face of the Earth. He is my EVERYTHING. I was so stressed out tonight and my mind was going crazy; all the thoughts, worries & concerns in my head had a snowball effect and combined into one huge blob of thoughts... I was trying to act like nothing was wrong but he knew something was on my mind. Then I read some stuff on the internet that really upset me and I was just crying in his arms but he made everything a thousand times better (as he always does) and just reassured me that everything will be okay. He is THE ABSOLUTE BEST and I love how he turns my tears of sadness into into tears of laughter, and he always knows how to make me feel better. He is like my security blanket.. I love him more than anything!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forever and ever ..

change of plans
Okay - so if it's a boy, we definitely want Robert as the first name, but now I don't think I want Joseph anymore. I have an idea of what I want as the middle name .. and I think it's a much better and more meaningful name.
I had my almost 14 week check up yesterday .. it was very quick, no sonogram. We heard the baby's heartbeat which was so strong and PERFECT. The doctor was very happy with everything. Since I found out I was pregnant, I have gained 7 pounds. I wonder how much weight I will have gained by the end of this. I'm guessing 25 - 30 pounds.
So, my next appointment is December 20th, and hopefully the baby will be in the right position and we can find out the sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sleep? what's that?
So, I officially can not sleep during the night. Ever since I hit my 12 week mark, I wake up to pee all the time. Now at 13 weeks, it feels like I go every 10 minutes, but it's really only every hour. I am drinking more so I don't become dehydrated, but I don't drink that much at night on purpose so I can maybe actually sleep. If it's not having to get up to go to the bathroom, I am just laying there tossing and turning until I see it starting to get light outside. I can't find any comfortable positions either. Sometimes my legs ache and I have to continuously move them. Hopefully this will pass, or get better - but I doubt it from the things I have been reading. Seems like the further along you get, the less sleep you get too! GRRRRRRREAT!
Oh well - it's 8:30am and I'm going to try to add on some more sleep to the one hour I already got. Goodnight~!
