Well, here is one:
Now, I am only 9 weeks (on Saturday) so the baby doesn't look like much more than the back of a gummy bear. But on the screen you could see the little heart beating :) The little circle next to him or her is NOT the baby, so no gender thing or whatever you're all guessing.
Doc said that all is well. Chances of a miscarriage are at 10% at this point, less than 1% by my next sonogram in 4 weeks! So cool :) It helped to go in. It got me excited again. And he made me feel less of a blob. Said this time I am going to get hit harder, faster. So I dont feel like such a lame boob. Dont get me wrong, I'm no kickboxing instructor until the day I deliver, but hey, I'm a Becky :)
So, having this baby complication free is a hope and dream AND plan. Boo-yeah.
Another hope, dream and plan is to take on potty training. Chloe fits all the "profiling" you can do for when a child is ready except for one thing, an interest in taking off their pants. Yeah. She takes off shoes, socks and often asks for her shirt off. But that's it. So, we're waiting probably about 6 more months for that one.
I am also hoping our rent wont change so we can stay in this apartment. It is definitely in the outer rims of what we can afford, but I feel safe here. I haven't totally meshed into the ward, but I still know we're supposed to be here. And I think part of that is our new callings. Not to mention, I've been to several other apartments or heard of them and they all say ours is an incredible deal. Not a bragging thing, but another confirmation to me that this is a good place. A good plan.
I hope to donate my hair. I cant be sure how serious I am going to be about this, because I really want to do it. And I love the idea of doing it. Here's the thing. I contracted myself not to chop it off again until after I have the baby. I dont want to do the classic chop mistake. I want to love it--which means I am going to be picky about how short it goes. I am going to want it long enough to still do stuff with. And I dont know if it will be. Also, the haircut I want, I have a feeling will be very popular when I do it. 1. It'll be summer and 2.It is in an upcoming, predicted (by me) hit movie...at least with women. And as we all know from little Hermione Granger, all the women love her short hair and all the men hate it. So all women will be chopping their hair to look like gorgeous Julianne Hough. Sigh.
I plan on starting to train again to do another race with my Mom and sister. My Mother has very graciously agreed to hold onto one more half marathon after her possible retirement after 60 for me. Hopefully it'll be a Disney one :)
Life is good y'all. Life is hard. Life is short. And I am incredibly blessed to be living mine.
