Throwback Thursday!

First up we've got my brother Chase and I not very old, I'll say maybe October or November of 1984:



I am thinking I am maybe 9 months old here?:



Lastly, here is me at Sylvan Springs in Missouri, I have no clue how old I am:

Eight Weeks Four Days

Get your magnifying glass out folks, this ultrasound lady didn't zoom in so it is kinda hard to see:







If you look very closely you can make out a baby, the arm and leg buds are there and the head is at the top.

Ambivalence Anyone?

I had an appointment today to see a diabetes doctor I had never seen before. Of course I HATE going to the diabetes doctor. I long to be a "normal" person and having diabetes sucks the normalcy right out of life. It wasn't my first visit at the diabetes place but it was my first time being pregnant and going there. I am already dreading this whole visit and then I don't know what this doctor is going to be like, I am praying to just get this appointment over and go back to work. The doctor comes in and hardly even looks at me, he just keeps asking me questions and furiously writing in my chart. I thought that was odd, I have never had a doctor act so stand-offish before. Then he asks me this:

Doctor: Are you feeling ambivalent about being pregnant?

Me: (Long pause) What does that mean? Dreading it or something? If so definitely not!

Doctor: So you are going to keep the baby?

Me: Yes (thinking to myself, didn't we just talk about my infertility treatments and how I stopped going and got pregnant)

He kept answering everything I said with a calculating "Hmmm" like I was lying or not telling the whole truth. To be quite honest he made me feel like I didn't deserve to be pregnant because I have diabetes. I will never go back and see that man again. Needless to say when I went to make my next appointment they asked if I wanted to see the same doctor again, I immediately told the girl NO.

When he asked me if I was keeping my baby I wanted to say, "No, I think I'll just throw it in the river." Who the hell asks somebody that anyhow?

Seven Weeks Four Days

We had our third appointment today! It is amazing to see how fast the baby grows!

Without further ado:







The head is where the black circle is. The black circle is where the brain will be. The little nubs on the side of the body are where the arms and legs are forming.

From Wretched to Awesome-O

That is how my day has gone! It was one thing after the other at work and then the girls decided to take me out to lunch at my favorite Jose's Border Cafe! Then I got home and Tom hands me a Vera Bradley gift bag and as if you couldn't guess what was inside...new Vera stuff!!! YAY!!! He had apparently planned this purchase because he stole my Vera card for a local gift shop out of my purse ahead of time! Isn't that the sweetest! So I am in a much better mood then earlier this morning!

Here is what he got me:



It is the Betsy and the Zip-Around Wallet in Mod Floral Pink! It feels like it's my birthday or something!

Are You F'ing Kidding Me!

I. Locked. My. Keys. In. The. Car!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mind was obviously stolen in the night, I forgot to take my medicine before I left the house and now I lock the keys in the car! If I had my keys I would get in the car and drive home, this will not be a very good day!

I am so pissed now I have to ask my husband to drive down here (I work like 45 minutes away from home)  and unlock my car! Perhaps I should bribe him with lunch!  ;-)

I may never hear the end of this one!
