More tests, UGH!
Just got back from the doctors and I am 16 weeks preggo! I got what they told me was the last blood test for this pregnancy which is great! I have horrible veins and the phlebotomist told me how horrible my veins were as she wiggled the needle in my arm and then got mad at me when I flinched in pain....what nerve I have!!!!
I am now one week away from the ultrasound that could tell Paul and I what gender our new baby is. Of course as I said in a previous post I have a feeling I am having a girl but who knows!!! The doctor today listened to the heartbeat and said....."hhhmmmmm I think you are having a girl!" when I asked him why he said that he said that in his 30 years of experience he has found that most girls have a faster hearbeat than boys. This really shocked me because usually doctors are so "by the book" that they never give in to old wives tales. I don't really believe the whole heartbeat thing because if you research it on the good old Internet it says anything over 140+ is a girl.....well someone should tell my bug picking, dirt loving, vroom vroom truck playing boy that he is a girl because his heartbeat was always in the 160's the whole pregnancy. But we will see what this baby is, I am praying he or she doesn't have their legs crossed next week.
I still can't sleep very well, like the cartoon above if I am not having weird strange dreams of what this kid is going to look like then I am awake because I am worried about having another kid and how Jacob is going to react and what I need to buy if we have a boy versus having a girl (which would be CLOTHES!). My mind just doesn't seem to turn off anymore. What kind of minivan should we buy, how much is that going to cost, can we afford it, why is my belly as big at 4 months as it was at 5 1/2 months with Jacob.....HOLY COW! if my belly is this big now what the HELL am I going to look like at 9 months pregnant!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH
Well I am off to try and take a nap which I am sure will only be in vain!

i love that cartoon! that is exactly how i used to feel before i started having medicated sleep. i so wish i had an off switch for my brain! i don't see how in the world you are surviving on the amount of sleep you are getting. it's a good thing i'm never gonna have my own kids. i would DIE if i didn't get my 8-12+ hours of sleep. lol
@nonna - It is getting a little better now that I am in my 2nd trimester, but if my memory serves me correctly once you start feeling better the baby starts kicking you in the ribs and bladder and the great sleep is shot to heck!! ((GRIN))
