So I went on Saturday to get my Heart Beat Bear done at 3D Miracles in Langley. I also picked up a good copy of my images, as sadly the first CD was defective. I've watched the DVD of the ultrasound a few times now, I get so emotional to watch her, to know that is my little girl in there. My daughter Lydia Jane.
Recording the heart beat was quick, and my mom came, we had another sneak peek at Lydia Jane, but again she was all wrapped up in my placenta, fast asleep. The bear is big and soft.
What was cute, was that the married couple before us, they had two daughters, aged 7 and 5, running around in the waiting room, and the 7 year old was full of precociousness. She was telling me everything, and when my mom showed up, my mom was like "look what you have to look forward too." I reminded my mom I was only having one child. Although the 7 year old was something - I tell ya.
The 7 year old informed me "she" was having twins. Told me the names, and how the boy twin was "her" baby and the girl "twin" was her sister's baby. Then she informed me that she "stressed" her mother. LOL Yes children have no filters, it's awesome.
Their parents came out and gladly showed us the ultrasound photos of their twins.
I can honestly say, thank goodness, I am only having one. One little girl. I told my mom that I couldn't wait to dress her in girly-girl stuff.
Later that night I had dinner with Holly and Jas, and we talked about children. I laughed and said that I'm sure whatever behavioural habits my daughter has, I have it coming. I was a good kid, shy, quiet, brainy, imaginative, curious, but I rebelled as a teen.
Some of that I am sure was environmental, but still. Not only my genes are involved though, and I have to take into account, Lydia Jane will have half her father's genes. I know he was a loner, nerd, brainy, and shy too as a kid, but as an adult WHOA... LOL So we'll see, every child is different.
Then Sunday my dad came by with my niece in the morning, and then I took her to Crescent Beach for a long walk in the wind and sunshine. We went for lunch, then some window shopping, and back for dinner with with my dad. It was a lovely way to spend the day. Tomorrow is "Eat Turkey" day. Another lovely day with my family and I love them so much.
I can hardly believe I only have 3 months to go now. I feel huge all ready, I can't imagine this belly has so far to go. Sadly the big fibroid has been hurting. Being sick with this cold all week has really worn me out. I want to be well dang it. More rest, more juice. Pumpkin pie. It helps. Or at least that is what I am telling my giant ass. LOL Heck who do I have to impress? I am too happy with the thumping kicking baby growing in my belly to care if I look too chunky-monkey right now. And hell, I have been told, I have the sexiest forehead... LOL
