We survived the weekend. Both my mom and mother-in-law and my godmother came up to help us get the house together this weekend. It is going to be an expensive Mother's Day this year. They did so much. From contact papering the kitchen cabinets and loading in 75% of the food to getting everything in drawers, 7 loads of laundry (I am still convinced the washing machine doesn't work properly), and the father-in-law helped honey put together the entertainment unit. That took 3 hours. The best was everyone giving their opinion on where things should go all the while cursing us for having so much stuff. I don't think I want to have them over together again until the baby's christening. I was emotionally drained. I had to escape for 30 minutes to pick up dry cleaning and I wanted to find some other errands to do! All kidding aside, they did help us a lot, from putting together furniture and getting stuff into their new homes. Thank you all. We love you lots.
Now we have a crazy week ahead. I am traveling to Orlando, honey's birthday is Friday and he wants to have people over for a BBQ. How will we get the house ready!
Also, E. had such a good report card, we went shopping for a new bike yesterday. Check out the new one! She got the cool step-through frame that looks like this. Now she and honey can go riding on the bike path across the street from our house or on the aqueduct anytime.
Today I am 19w4d and we have the gross anatomy ultrasound. We ARE going to find out the sex of the baby. My FASTER results came back with a negative screen, we passed with flying colors, no amnio needed. <1 in 10,000 chance for abnormalities. Doc said he would take those odds to Vegas. Today we will know for sure that everything is healthy (at least as much as we can until the baby is born).
Honey asked this weekend if its not a boy, can we try again. I told him no, I am done, all this itching, the rash, the indigestion, the inconvienence of everything has been miserable for me. He was so pissed. I told him to ask me again AFTER the baby is born. Right now I am halfway through and I am done. We haven't even reached the high point of the hot summer and inadequate air conditioning and I am done. Ask me again in October. At least the house is halfway finished. Soon we can start getting stuff together for the baby.

Hey chica -
My first pregnancy was also a miserable one and you know ALL about what happened at delivery with the emergency surgery and everything else that happened. Yet, the day after my daughter was born, J. asked me if I would do it again. Here I was - exhausted, IV's everywhere, seriously cold and pale from lack of blood, miserable from the PUPPS and the edema - and it still took me less than half a second to say, "Yes. In a heartbeat."
There's something about that little creature in your arms that makes it all worthwhile. You'll see.
Tell F. to ask again after the baby is born, like you said. Maybe your answer will change, maybe it won't. I don't think you'll really know until you're holding YOUR child for the first time.
Love you!
Love,
K.
