And the Sonogram Says...............

Click on the pictures to get a closer look!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, my own prediction was correct (for once, and finally). I think I guessed wrong on the last few babies, although, I did guess Max correctly!

Here are a few pictures! There is definately a turtle head no hamburger buns.

The Belly

These pictures show me at almost 21 weeks. Tomorrow we will know....PINK OR BLUE!!!

I am still pretty small, as everyone likes to point that out to me on a daily basis. The doctor said I am measuring right on track and that I am lucky to be tall, because tall women usually have easy deliveries and pregnancies, and have more room for the belly to spread out. Yeah, we'll see about that. I think she was just trying to comfort me. No more sickness, hasn't been for quite sometime. I don't mind being preggo too much, I can't say it's my favorite thing though. January 1 can't come fast enough, I am ready to post baby pictures, and wear regular clothes!! Yes, those are maternity clothes for those of you thinking and saying...geeze, she's so small, she doesn't need maternity clothes (yeah, I hear that daily too).

Time is ending to cast your vote!

Monday, August 18th.....I get my sonogram at 4:00pm Kansas Time! So, if you haven't come to a decision yet on what you think doodledinger is, make sure to vote or leave a comment of your guess! I'll try to post some pictures of my belly this weekend, so maybe it can sway your vote. School starts tomorrow, so I am busy procrastinating getting stuff set up in my classroom. HA!

The baby is gonna be a socca playa!

I have a little belly now, so I will get some pics posted soon, I promise!
I am feeling this little doodle kick like crazy! I think it's punishing me for all the mexican food I have eaten. I love mexican food these days, along with anything cinnamon (not like the spice cinnamon, but cinnamon candy). I even found cinnamon toothpaste...mmm! I also like cucumbers and peaches these days. I am starting to enjoy being pregnant now, only because I love to eat, and eat, and eat some more. Bacon is good too. :)
School starts August 13th, but I have to report to school this Thursday and Friday (Aug. 7-8). So only 2 more days of living it up! We are also in the process of moving, our house should be on the market in just a few weeks, so we're moving to a bigger, better house. My mother-in-law has also graciously volunteered her services as our daycare provider when I have to return to school. Yea! So, that's my update, for now.

Cast Your Vote!

I added a poll to my blog! We should know in about 4-5 weeks what the baby doodledinger will be! What do you think, boy or a girl! Cast your ballots, we'll see who wins!
Oh yeah, went to the doctor and the heartbeat this time was between 130-140. Couldn't quite get an accurate beat because the little doodle was moving around so much. My doctor said according to the old wives tales, it's a boy. HA!!

First Glimpse at "what" baby Dondlinger is.....

I was in my cousin's wedding in Kansas City over the weekend. While eating at a chinese restaurant for rehearsal dinner, we of course ended our meals with the typical fortune cookie. I took my cookie from the bowl, set it aside, and almost forgot about it. Everyone opened theirs and then I opened mine to fine that I had a two-sided message on mine. Before I tell you what it said, no one else at my table had a two-sided fortune.
So..........one side was the fortune, it wasn't that interesting. The other side said.....GIRL, and that's all it said. So, maybe those chinese folks are good predictors. Hopefully I will know in about 6-8 weeks what baby doodledinger really is. I can't wait until b-day to find out what the baby is. I don't know how some of you folks do it. And for those of you wanting pics, I don't really have a belly yet, so keep holding out, it will come soon enough.

Seems more real now

I went to the doctor this morning, and I heard the heartbeat! Yea! It was 150/bpm. Raymond thinks it's a girl, I think it is a boy. My nausea is really starting to subside. I introduced myself back to meat last week. It's a slow process, but so far, so good. I even managed to have a steak on Sunday. We grilled out for Father's day. My mom gave Raymond a father's day gift and he said he wasn't a real dad yet. Then we managed to coax him into promising to change the first nasty tar diaper. He doesn't know what merconium is (and I am not sure how to spell that word either). Boy is he in for it! I also can't button my jeans anymore. Well, I can, it just digs in a bit. Cotton, elastic waist shorts......don't knock 'em, they are stylin' !!!

Here's a gender predictor, see if your baby was correct! According to this one, I should have a boy. http://www.bestbabyproducts.com/chart.html

I survived the Manhattan, KS Tornado!

I took a bunch of freshmen girls to Manhattan, Ks this week for cheerleading camp at K-State. Wednesday evening, 6-11, we were huddled in the basement of our dorms for over 2 hours. When we woke up, here is what we saw. I said a big time prayer, and I am very grateful that no one was hurt. The building I was in, was unharmed, but everything around it was totally destroyed, including all the cars in the parking lot. Luckily, our Goddard Van was parked in a different lot, and was untouched. I was definately counting my blessings after this.

The building in the background is the dorms that I was staying in. My room was on the top floor.
