Baby Girl...

I have to say that it is pretty fun to be pregnant and working in a radiology company.  I had one of the ultrasonograhers scan me at 16 weeks to see if they could see any 'ridiculous pieces of flesh' - but she said that it didn't look like there was anything down in that region, which means...we're having a baby GIRL!!  So excited!  I walked past the ultrasound rooms the other day, and another technologist said to me "Can I PLEASE scan you??  I want to see that baby!!"  So I let her scan me, and she got such great pictures of her (she also confirmed that she thinks we're having a hamburger, not a hotdog).  She got her swallowing, and sticking her hand up, as if she was saying "hi mommy!" Ahhh...I never get tired of looking at those pictures.  It really is totally unbelievable and incredible to think that there is a human being incubating inside of me right now.  

And in other excited baby girl news, I am currently 17 weeks and 3 days, and I am feeling her karate kicks!  That is a pretty fun feeling - I can't wait until she gets big enough so that MS can start feeling her, too.  He read that she can hear voices and such, so he has been talking to her a lot lately and kissing my belly.  I think next week, I will have him play his trumpet for her to get her genius juices flowing.  

I can't believe how much I already love our baby girl, now I really can't wait to hold her in my arms for the first time!!! 

I Don't Care!!

I know that there are some girls that dream of their "day" their whole entire life.  Every last detail of the wedding has to be exactly the way that she pictured it in her barbie-doll dreams from when she was six.  I am just not that girl.  Now, don't get me wrong, there are certain things that I definitely want on my wedding day, and people I want to part-take in the festivities, but I understand that weddings are filled with flaws, and disappointments.  Maybe planning so many weddings in the last several years has made me a cynic, but I just don't care enough about 1 day in my life to stress myself out about it.  

Since we moved the wedding up a couple of months, and because I have a baby on the way, I have been delegating out several wedding details to my amazingly supportive family and friends.  For example, there are people doing the centerpieces and table runners, someone else is in charge of the music, another person in charge of flowers for the ceremony, someone else is helping with my veil, another person doing our cake.....all amazing people are were so willing to step-up and help.  I feel truly blessed with such an incredible support system.  But, I do have to say, that my phone has been ringing off the hook with questions about every little tiny detail.  I know these people mean well, because they want to make sure it is everything that I pictured and imagined my day being, but today I just felt screaming, "I DON'T CARE!!"  I know that whatever you do with the centerpieces is going to be incredible, so no I don't care what kind of vase they go into; no I don't care where you get the flowers from for the ceremony, no I don't care what size of an overlay you do on the table, and yes they are 60" rounds, the shape of the cake? nope don't care about that either.  These people all have amazing talent - way more talent than I could ever have, that's why I trusted 100% them with their tasks. 

So, if you ask me one more thing, the answer is again, "I don't care..."
