Update

I feel like it's been ages since I have posted any kind of update. All is well in general; I am 15w3d along now. Lemmesee what I can muster as an update; I'll try not to bore you.

In no particular order:

• someone in Oregon tried to charge $3300 to our credit card for "specialty food and services." Thankfully the charge was denied because they entered the wrong pin, and the fraud dept for our cc called us immediately.
• I have an arraignment for the aforementioned speeding ticket (and the little a-holes also got me for failure to signal when changing lanes. I'm just bitter because I have never been one of those people that can maneuver their way out of a ticket) on June 5.
• The most important of all of these: got my results for the NT scan and it revealed a very low risk for Down's, roughly 1:7800 or something like that. The blood portion was negative. Woohoo!
• I dragged my husband shopping for baby furniture. We have it picked out, just need to order it and stop waffling on the bedding.
• I have the best girlfriends in the world. They are planning a baby shower for me the last weekend in June. My four busiest girlfriends (two of whom are pregnant) wanted to do something for me before they were due (at the end of July and mid-August), and I simply can't wait.
• My mom is making maternity scrubs for me. I haven't been able to find anything online that is cute in any way, shape or form. My choices are brown, navy, light blue and white {shudder}. My whole life my mom has been itching to make me stuff and I am finally letting her.
• We went browsing for a new/gently used car/SUV. How cliched is that? We looked at the Lex.us R X . We found one that had ~ 8K miles on it and another with only 15K . Of course I lusted after it and started drooling immediately, but I feel I should sit on it and see if it really makes sense for us to buy it. In any event, it sure is pretty.
• On Mother's Day, we took my mother out to eat. Some new parents with a set of boy/girl twins walked by us and it took everything in me not to burst into tears.
• I have been plum exhausted at the end of the work week, so I am going to shift my responsibilities a bit and work an earlier shift. It will mean a bit more sitting for me and much less time on my feet at work. I think I might get bored with this particular duty and shift after a while, so I have made a request to return to my usual stuff after I return from mat. leave.
• I've got the big ultrasound coming up at the 16w4d mark. I should know for sure that we are having a boy then, provided he cooperates.
• Bought a sono.trax doppler off of e.bay and I lurve that thing. It is so reassuring to hear that HB clicking away. It is generally pretty easy to find.
• I have been absolutely terrible about my diet. For the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, I was so good about eating veggies, fruits and all that shizzle. After we lost baby b and I got sick, I aquired a pint-a-day ice cream habit and got cravings for lots of cheese and mexican food. Going back to work helped with the ice cream habit, but I have am still trying to work in the veggies. If I could have chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes daily, I would.

Well, I think that about covers it. I worked until 11 pm on Friday night, so I have been recuperating this weekend with lots of napping. Tomorrow, the hubs and I are going to finish up the baby registry and see my parents.
