I am beyond nervous for tomorrow
We have our ultrasound tomorrow to make sure everything is going well and to hopefully find out if we are having a boy or girl. I can't help but be BEYOND nervous for the appointment. I have been excited this whole pregnancy, but with this seriously skeptical nervousness that I'll actually end up with a take home baby. We had an early u/s and everything looked great. We heard the heartbeat at 16 weeks and the doctor said it all sounded great. And I am not excited for tomorrow. I have refused to buy maternity clothes, because I do not want to go through the pain of returning them or having them around if I find out something happened. I do have a belly band, which I refused to buy until after we heard the hearbeat. It's like I am dragging my feet through this whole experience.
And I think I am driving DH absolutely crazy. He is so excited and looking forward to tomorrow and I am just so cautious and nervous. I am hoping that after seeing the baby tomorrow I'll relax. I get more nervous the closer the appt gets. Luckily, it's at 8:30 in the morning. And I will update you all as soon as possible.
ETA: And as I sit here I think I am getting kicked. I am pretty sure the little one keeps trying to tell me to calm the *%&$* down. I just wish I knew it was kicks and not gas! lol.
Re: I am beyond nervous for tomorrow
First, breathe.
Next, find something to focus on for the rest of today. Do you have errands to run, treats to bake, presents to wrap? Do it. Keep busy and keep your mind off it. I would tell you to calm down but I know how useless it is. Just try to distract yourself until you see that sweet healthy little babe tomorrow. Then you can celebrate with some pink or blue and some mat pants for momma!

Luckily, I have tons and tons of things to get done today, so my mind will be occupied.
Thanks for all of the support ladies. I love that we have such a supportive board.
Hang in there... look how fast this pregnancy has gone, and the second half goes even faster! Just try your best to enjoy every minute. You will be fine!
I'm looking forward to the verdict!
Thinking about you Brooke! What time is your appt?
Also, I hope we can still GTG next week. I think it's going to be Thursday or Friday that we can get down to Pekin, but not 100% sure yet.
Appt is at 8:30 in the morning. I wanted to get it done ASAP!
We may be coming up to Chicago one day for pizza and ikea. We haven't decided for sure though. Facebook me your phone number so we can chat. Or if you use google talk, we could do that too.
My boring blog
Sending you a facebook message! Razzle, Jennrs and I are trying to GTG in Chicago, probably on Tuesday the 27th! Maybe you can come to the city then??
When you've had a loss, it is so hard to just enjoy and not think "what if..." Hang in there! I know that for me, seeing something that actually looked like a baby on the screen really helped.
Best wishes that tomorrow's appointment will come quickly!
This! Good luck tomorrow, Brooke. Can't wait to hear the news:)
