Preggo Pic

Okay, we made it back from NC last weekend and well, we made it back. Our calendar is looking fairly full but then again when does mine not? We'll take the boat out this weekend and probably take Mako to the beach, my mom visits next weekend, then Erik's dad the following, wknd after that Erik is in Clearwater for work and then BAM....we have our Dr. appt to find out "who" we're having. Looking at a crammed calendar is the only way I can remain patient about it all. It makes me realize that the time may actually fly by a little faster. Pretty soon the clearing out of the soon-to-be nursery will start, new carpet installed in the bedrooms and the shopping excursions will be in full first time mom mode.....YES!

We are 14 wks now and I'm still feeling great. A few moments with intense "stretching" of things inside which is weird but normal. I have had a little heightened anxiety about my lab work that will be drawn at the end of the month. I really hope that everything is okay. I'm having a lot of reservations about the AFP, triple screen. Actually I think we opted for the quadruple screen...who knows. All I know is that there are a lot of false positives which of course you don't know they are false unless you continue with further testing or wait until delivery. A lot of gals I've talked to did not have the additional screenings done, some did and all was well....I'm a worry wart right now and am in a major freak out session. My friend Marcy told me to have faith and trust God. Well the saying, "Let go and let God" is a little difficult but I really am trying. We can always decide not to have the tests but then again I would worry that we didn't so clearly I have put myself in a "too bad you'll worry regardless" situation. GREAT! :)

Enough of my pitiful venting. Erik and I ventured to the movies last night for the Harry Potter premiere. Laugh if you must but I'm a HP junkie! Never thought I would be but I starting reading the books with some reservation and now I can't get enough of them. Erik enjoys the flicks so 12 of us waited in line for an hour or so for a sold out show. Anyway...it was Little Fennie's first movie experience...if you can call it that. I realized that I don't have any pictures of me pregnant which is bizarre. We haven't really done much that prompted a Kodak moment but I realized that if I was going to attempt the scrap booking thing than I would need to have some documentation of hmm, let's see....being PREGNANT! I feel like I'm dropping the ball here! I had Erik take a picture of me before we left the house. I have on a maternity shirt which got a few chuckles when I met up with our friends. I'm still not looking too preggo but the fact that the maternity shirt pooches out helps. I'm trying....soon enough! Stay tuned :)
