I have been posting to you in my head all over the place and failing to sit down and write about it.
Saturday and Sunday were so lovely for me. I felt such a warm fuzzy glow when I thought about the baby and stopped to say hello to him or her. My Mom came to town and we did some maternity shopping and had fun laughing at some of the clothes and how I don't fill them out now, but that sooner than I realize I will have a bonafied BIG BELLY!
We learned today after some early blood tests that there is only 1 in 10,000 chances that our baby could be born with any serious syndromes or problems. The lady on the phone said "I couldn't give you any better odds, those are our best numbers!" So Little Baby Riss is healthy and strong and growing away.
I have been growing a small collection of things for the baby from a yard sale one of the therapists had at our office. I now have seven baby clothing items (boy clothes that could possibly swing both ways) and a Baby Bjorn. I also just ordered a Ergo Baby Carrier with some old Gilt.com credit I had. I feel so privileged to actually be able to start stocking up.
For the right to pick which room will be the nursery in our house, I bribed David with a very special right. The right to pick the name of the baby! Now, the inside scoop is that he is often so determined that he would end up talking me into whatever name he loved, so this way I scored a bonus based on something I was already planning on doing....letting my strong willed love muffin choose the name (within reason!).
Love to you all!
