Its A Girl!

Well I had another ultrasound on Friday, and found out the sex of the baby. :) We have a beautiful little girl on the way!! She was fast asleep during the whole ultrasound lol. Sucking her thumb, not wanting to move. She was comfortable, and thats how she was going to stay! It took us a half hour just to get everything she needed to find out. I got to see the heart, the heart beat was at 156 (which is good, normal for this little one), her little hands and toes, cute little nose.. Shes beautiful. <3 Graham and I have a beautiful little daughter, our Cassandra Anne. <3 We're so excited.

The ultrasound tech was kind of laughing, trying to get Cassie to move. She wiggled the little wand thing around on my belly trying to make her uncomfortable, but that didn't work. After a while, she told me to roll onto my side facing her, so I did. That didn't help. So then she had me press on my side a bit, again trying to make her uncomfortable enough to move. That didn't work. So she had me go back to my back, and tried again. Still nothing! lol So I went to my other side, and my mom and dad were poking my stomach lol. It worked a little, after I moved back to my back again. She shifted just enough to get the rest of what was needed. :) She's absolutely beautiful.

The whole time I was fighting tears. It was an amazing thing to see, and I was really wishing Graham could have been there with me for that amazing moment. I know that if he would have been there, he would have been right at my side, holding my hand, fighting tears himself. I can't wait to hold our little girl in our arms. <3 I'm still due December 27th, but I kind of think it would be cool if she was born on the 28th, because that night its a full moon. :) I know that's a lame reason, but still lol. As long as she is born in 2012, healthy and well, I'm one happy momma!

I can't believe I'm having a little girl <3

Lots of Love,

Happiness and Frustration

Well I'm finally going to the doctors like I should be. I had my first appointment on the third, and it went pretty well. Filled out the paper work, they checked my height, weight, and blood pressure (which was good), then took me back to see the doctor. We got to hear the heartbeat! :) My friend Megan went with me, so I wasn't going alone. She recorded it and sent it to Graham so that he could hear it too. He said that as soon as he heard it, he cried. Our little babies heartbeat is at 150 and strong, thank god. I have been so scared that something was going to happen, especially being away from Graham like this. But it sounds like we have a little fighter! :) I have an ultrasound on monday to find out just how far along I really am and everything. We THINK I'm 14 to 15 weeks, but depending on positioning and everything, we MIGHT be able to find out the gender! :D We're really hoping so. We're both so incredibly excited about the whole thing. I just can't wait to see our little baby!!

My family is coming back from vacation, they leave.. well today, since its 2am lol. So they should be here Saturday. It'll be nice to have someone to talk to, but I'm not looking forward to dealing with Greg and his girlfriend. At least I'll have my car back though!!! Thats a huge plus! I wont have to use moms van, or dads truck. :)

A few friends of mine lately have decided they want to complain about not being able to see the guy they like, or their boyfriend. One friend (shes about my age) gets to see him for a couple of days every six weeks, and the other (shes 14) sees him at school, and gets to see him regularly. The youngest today was complaining that her boyfriend is going on vacation for a couple weeks, so she wont get to see him. I'm sorry, but it has been seven weeks now since I've seen Graham. We text and we have the occasional phone call, but that's it. We don't get to see each other. And I'm sorry, but my predicament is a little worse than theirs are. I'm pregnant, away from my fiance. The other half of my heart and soul. And they want to complain? They don't have a baby growing inside of them, needing their fiance to be here with them when they can't even have them. They don't know what that pain REALLY is. I'm sick of hearing it. Sick of listening to them whine.

Lots of Love,
Laura
