Yucky Baby Stuff
So we had our very first appointment with Dr. Pitts yesterday, except- we didn't see Dr. Pitts at all, but instead saw the nurse practioner who is one of my cousin Amy's instructors in nursing school-- so that was nice. I got alot of magazines and brochures and took in my page long of questions and they were all answered. Since it was a holiday, the ultrasound person wasn't in and we have to go back on the 26th of this month to find out if it's twins or not. Everyone in our families is convinced that it is, (Both of our grandparents were twins and ALL of my cousins with children have twins.) I feel like I should be a lot more nervous than I am-- but I just have this overwhelming peace. I know that I was made to be a mommy-- and though, I didn't EXPECT it to happen so soon, you can't believe how much this has already changed our lives for the positive \. We just have to get our house finished pronto! I have said a million times that I don't want to be concerned with the little details, because I have too much else on my plate, but Chris has truly awful ideas! He wanted to have concrete counter tops! CONCRETE! Obviously he can't be trusted.
Last Saturday I took a CPR and first aide class and I feel like I'm an expert on choking babies now. Not at choking babies, that would be horrible. I have taken that class a million times because I've worked in daycare for the past 3 years-- but it never stuck with me like it did this time. I guess it never mattered as much to me personally. I want Chris to take it too, it doesn't take very long and it's so informative. I also want Chris to take a driving class because he never took driver's ed in high school and the man honestly just doesn't know how to drive. I don't know why they gave him a license! He claims he'll slow down and be more cautious as soon as the baby gets here but my god, he is putting my life in danger every day. Enough Chris bashing though, he is absolutely wonderful and I can't imagine doing this with anyone else. I know he's going to be a great father and he's absolutely ecstatic!
I feel so drained. I have no energy to do housework or even get out of bed, but I much rather prefer this than constant puking. Everyone has reassured me that as soon as I'm out of the first trimester I'll get more energy and will be able to function like a normal human being. I'm just so unbelievably excited. Every once in a while I'll feel the slight urge to panic, but then I'll just imagine holding our beautiful healthy baby in a big fluffy blanket and it all goes away.
