Here we go again!

I am getting much better at this blogging thing! Look at this twice in one month! Thanks to all for the congrats on the baby. The bigger I get, the more excited I get! I try and wear my tightest shirts so that people can see the stomach I am developing! Still had about five comments yesterday telling me that I don't look pregnant. Great! strangers just think that I am one of those chubby people who are in denial that their skinny days are over!
I went to the doctor again and was very excited that this four months I actually gained weight instead of just feeling like I did. I got to hear the baby's heart beat again. I got a little nervous when he started looking for it. I generally am not a person who panics, but for about 30 seconds all these horror stories flashed through my mind. (Yes in 30 seconds I have time to think of many stories...) When I did hear it I was so relieved! I am really going to have a baby! Weird! Doctor said everything is good and I set the appointment to find out the gender. I am pretty excited about this. So is Jason since he will actually get to come to this appointment... Scheduling between his practicum and school and my work and school has been pretty crazy and he has missed hearing the heart beat twice.
After my appointment I got to work and the kids wanted to know all about the baby and if "it came out" this time. I told them that I got to hear the heart beat and one of them said, "did they check to see if it was dead... that's what happened on Marley and Me. The baby got dead..." One thing for sure, You cannot be sensitive around four year olds. So we had a nice talk about how sometimes babies do die...
We also have a lot of nutrition talks. I am suremy kids go home and tell their parents, "babies need lots of water, babies need oranges and carrots, babies like grapes..." They have also asked questions like how did the baby get in your stomach and how does the doctor get it out. Needlwss to say these kid won't need child development! :) I guess I better get to work cleaning! Ahhh Saturdays!

Wow

So I was thinking that maybe if I updated my blog a little more often I might be able to get some followers... When I joined (well took over) facebook I finally got friends, maybe my blog should be the next step I take in becoming a real person. I am sorry if I never finished our story, but I figured it was time to move on. So here I am...on! Well I guess the only thing left to talk about is how excited Jason and I are am was were is (whatever) for little poppy. I am now 14 weeks and people keep telling me I don't look pregnant, but since I can't fit any of my pants this is not really what I want to hear. So if you feel like it I would love for someone to tell me I look pregnant! Well to be fair Leah (who happens to be four) tells me every day that my belly is so big! That is why she is my favorite.
Anyway Poppy is due November 12th and we are hoping for a boy or a girl or maybe both. I have some names rolling around in my head, but am not sure since ultimately Jason makes the final decision.... I better write everything down. I would hate for him to misspell the baby's name! Wow there is a lot to think about! :)
Jason and I are (I are just sounds so weird) how about we are both going to school and I am working at a preschool where I am way over worked and underpaid. Consequently I am thinking of becoming independently wealthy. If any one knows of any good get rich quick and never work again schemes please let me know!
So I guess that is all I have to say. Sorry it is not entertaining or fairy taleish, but at least I wrote something! Your welcome Melenie... I hope you actuallt read this!
