The anticipation is killing me!

I am so sorry that I have not posted in awhile. Work has been crazy and I have had some major snowballs thrown at me the past few weekends.

So apparently while pregnant my body is super sensitive when it comes to things like migraines. I have been dealing with migraines for about 9 years now. But the two migraines I've had while pregnant conclude with my face in the toilet. But to be positive, I have not had any morning sickness so I can't complain. The other snowball is my mother. If you don't know me personally then a little glimpse into my world is that my mother has Alzheimer's. She was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago. She is only 59. The Alzheimer's website states that only 24% of women with early-onset Alzheimer's make it past 4 years after being diagnosed. My mom has headed downhill fast in the past couple of years and I am doing everything I can to prepare myself and my family for the next 6 months. I will most likely not keep everyone posted on this unless you ask, only because I want this blog to be positive!!

                                So to be positive.........

On Tuesday, December 18th we get to find out the sex of the baby!! I will be 16 weeks pregnant so hopefully it will not be too early. I will be telling my family first and then I will update you all. I believe it is a girl because I have had the same exact pregnancy as my sister right down to the nose bleeds. Sven thinks it is a boy. Sven's mom had three boys and my mom had three girls. The anticipation is killing me! Post your bets now. Enjoy the 15 week bump picture and zoom in to laugh at how the flat, not rounded, bump lines up perfectly with the chalkboard. We did not do this on purpose.


I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays and an amazing 2013! I will be in a food coma around the 25th so stay tuned for the gender reveal (if its not too early)!
