All is quite....for now

It seems that everyone is finally back to normal in our neck of the woods. Nerves are relaxed, minds are rested, and morning sickness seems to be slacking off. Hopefully it will be gone in the next couple of weeks. I am right at 11 weeks, and everything is going really well.

My manager just found out that she will be having a boy! Now I am feeling impatient! I won't find out for at least another 6-8 weeks. Those weeks will fly by I am sure, but it just seems so far away!

Several people have asked me if I have a preference, boy or girl? The truth is that for a while I felt very strongly that I would have a boy. I don't know why really, it was just a gut feeling. Now, that feeling isn't there. It thought that I really wanted a boy. Because of these feelings, I was afraid that if I found out I was having a girl I would be upset. I even dreamed that I had twins (boy and girl) and completely abandoned the girl. In the dream I told Jake that I didn't want anything to do with her, he could have her. :-) I KNOW that I would never be like that for real, but it was still upsetting.
Now, I know that either way I will be happy. There are so many good things about boys and girls. You can't really compare the two, or at least I can't.
So, my preference is healthy.

Several people have also asked me if I am "showing."
The answer? No. I am not. :-)
My pants aren't comfortable anymore, and I am washing and wearing the same 3 pairs of pants that do fit. They aren't really too tight, its just when I sit down they hit on my waist funny. I am much more sensitive. I am even avoiding certain underware! I have noticed a slight "bump" very low on my abdomen, but it is something only I would notice, if you know what I mean. :-)

Well, I think that is all I have to update for now. I just thought I would blog real quick, while it is slow here at work. I'll keep you posted for any new developments!

Glad you updated. Don't worry about those dreams, all pregnant women have some outrageous dreams. I had some doozies, and Landon kept dreaming that he would forget the baby and leave it locked in the car.

I'm glad that everything is getting back to normal and can't wait to find out what you're having. You are right, you can't compare boys and girls. They each have their uniqueness about them. The only clear advantage about girls is the more options in the clothing category, lol.
